Has anyone at this height (6'11) ever had these type of handles?

[Dresta]

Handles that commit carries on 80+% of crossovers? Nah...

[Euroleague]

Durant is 6'10".................in shoes.

[Euroleague]

How tall was Hakeem?...about the same height I'd say.

No, much taller. Hakeem was 6-10.5 without shoes. So like 7 feet with shoes, in how NBA counts it.

KD is probably 6'10 in shoes, listed at 6'9"... so i would say prime Lamar Odom (listed 6'10) is the tallest guy i seen with handles & ballcontrol comparable to basically anybody, people quickly forget, the guy was like a 6'10+ Jamal Crawford. Check this move out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_gn8ilJznE

nah, durant probably has the best handles for someone his size in the history of the nba.

[Euroleague]

He was 6'9, without shoes, at age 18/19 at the draft combine.

He's most definitely 6'11.

No he isn't. He's just an absolute toothpick, so he looks taller than he really is.

And the usual NBA gimmick BULLSHIT marketing. Where they just make up all this nonsense about how so and so "grew an inch or two inches since they were drafted".............

That shit isn't true and it's never been true. When are people going to grasp that it's just NBA gimmick propaganda marketing? None of that stuff has ever been true.

stfu bitch. go back to the euro league section.

Lebron's handles are weak. He doesn't break down defenders using dribbling moves.

Why would he even need to? He can cross the entire length of the court on about 5 dribbles, and hell sometimes even 3 dribbles..........

He can steal the ball in the half court on defense and then dunk it at the other end off 2-3 dribbles with ease.........

he can cover 30 feet off one dribble.........

when the refs allow that in EVERY GAME you play, why the hell would you even need basic dribbling skills?

Just teasing. I know he's not 6'11.

Hakeem's measurements without shoes are completely unknown to the public. Your guess is speculative, so point it out as such next time.

[Euroleague]

I count at least 3 uncalled carries in that gif

...then again I count at least 3 uncalled carries in the Durant gif too

Carrying and traveling are "fundamental basketball" in the NBA. I'm not sure what your point is. That's considered outstanding ball handling in the NBA.

True that in any other league it's a carry, but in the NBA it's "outstanding".

[kamil]

That's some streetball sh!t right there.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Better question. Has anybody at that height been allowed to carry so much before?

[Euroleague]

stfu bitch. go back to the euro league section.

Make me.
