jason kidd

[Copperhead]

Where was Deron going? He was almost headed out of bounds.

Skip to my lou has the best handles... except maybe jason williams in his prime.

[90sDynasty]

That epitomizes Chris Paul right there. He doesn't over-do it, everything he does with the ball seems necessary, no wasted motion.

you're right
from last week http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1FHrtkMMYs

Touche. It's only fitting that even though Chris Paul made the sick cross over, Tyson Chandler got to dunk over D-Will XD

We'll see you next time! That was only D-Will's second loss to Chris Paul in the NBA, and you almost gave it back!

here's why i always bring up crawford's name in any discussion about handles. his array of moves is unmatched in the league today (like i said, i would probably still rank paul ahead of him as an overall ball handler though).

i mean, are you kidding me with some of those moves? and he's doing this stuff like every game, its like a regular part of his game, nothing special to him.

Crawford's pretty much the only reason that I still watch the Knicks. You know he's going to pull out a couple tricks each game, and usually, he'll pull them off. I still hate him for what he did to Kirk though. That move was just ridiculous. I can't even get close to doing some of the things Jamal does without a defender in front of me, and yet he pulls them off during a game.

whoever brought up Deron's direction change is right on. he's probably the least athletic player I've ever seen break down a defense as effortlessly as he does. he's a lot like Sam Cassell that way, only a lot better than Cassell on both ends.

Deron Williams' handle is better than Chris Paul's.

Paul gets out of control quite often but his hand strength/quickness allow him to recover in time to make the play. Deron is never out of control and can link dribble types, moves, and speed effortlessly.

The first video of Crawford was just nasty.
Baron Davis and Iverson prime

[Bruinlove]

^^ Exactly. The most important thing about ball handling is not turning the ball over. Davis is an average ball handler.

Do you ever watch him play? He never gets jacked when he's dribbling the ball, his turnovers only come from bad passes. Even since his college days, I've never seen a guy get a steal from him. He is amazing and can dribble through triple teams at high speed and because he's so strong he can push guys away too. His strength combined with his skill make him the better ball handler

[YAH trick YAH]

I thought it was proved at the predraft camp that Deron was actually faster and quicker than CP3. Also had a better vertical.

[KenneBell]

In terms of pure dribbling skill these guys match him:

Williams
Crawford
Iverson

AI might have had the best of all time at one point. Almost unguardable.

[SsKSpurs21]

well according to the skills challenge, Deron Williams does.

[kidachi]

Rafer, JKidd, Nash, SMUSH

[Richie2k6]

Nobody crosses as often as Iverson. Does a quick, flashy dribble just about everytime he has the ball. It's become to common to see it from him that people don't recognize it as much. He crosses to often you hardly even notice it.
