What player is the best dribbler in the NBA?

[pauk]

lol at Lebrick being mentioned in this. His handles are mediocre if he was a guard.

yes but in different context.... nobody said he is the best dribbler....

CP3 is the best dribbler... now lets get over it... its really not debatable... he has the best ballcontrol / ballsafety and has the most ridicilous array of handling moves... his handling is unmatched imo... but with that said... its not a MAJOR gap... guys like deron & rondo & nash and so on are close

[KingRaptor]

Joe Johnson
Kevin Durant
Paul Pierce
Rudy Gay
Luol Deng

Lamar Odom
Trevor Ariza
Austin Daye
Matt Barnes
Jamario Moon

have you ever watched Melo play?

[RRR3]

LeBron doesn't even have great handles. He has great ball control, but his actual handles are average.

LOL @ a Durant stan talking shit about someone's handles.

[bdreason]

Nash and CP3 are the first that come to mind. These guys can both keep their dribble while standing in the middle of the lane with multiple defenders around them.

If we're talking about pure "handles," I think it's Baron Davis. He has some crazy flash and unbelievable control of the ball. Nash and Paul are the most effective at using their dribbles though.

kobe has some damn good handles at his postion... definitely not on the level of guys like nash,cp3 or d will but some of the best especally in his prime years

Hard to say who is the best. There are a lot of PG's with great handles - Deron, CP3, Nash, Baron.. etc. etc.
There are also a lot of wingplayers with great handles. Some wingplayers that use their dribbling and handles effeciently and have great moves and skills are:

Tyreke Evans - Great crossover and spin dribble. Can blow past his man and get to the rim by using his quick change of direction and speed.

Kobe Bryant - Great at creating space. His dribbling, combined with his excellent footwork make him nearly impossible to guard one on one.

Paul Pierce - He's not fast for a wingplayer, but gets the shots he wants because he is a really crafty ballhandler. Uses headfakes and hesitation moves to create the space he wants for shots. Can get to the rim as well. A really underrated ball handler.

When Rafer Alston was in the nba he had insane handles

[Bigsmoke]

the answer is Chris Paul.

Kidd, Nash, CP3, Kobe.

Worst dribbler is Dalembert.

Rose>>>>>>>>>>Lebron at dribbling

I would put Nash, CP3, and D-Will into the same category. They are simply the best.

Kobe has great ball-handling skills, but those fingers really messed him up. It's amazing how he can still dribble better than most guards, though.

Have you guys ever had to play with a tape on your finger? I normally have very good ball-handling skills, but even one tape can mess me up.

at Lebron's name being mentioned. He's good for his size, but he's got no business being amongst the elites in this category. You know his handles are not that good when you see him on the open court. He pretty much has to go straight to get to the rim. Can't change direction like you would expect from an elite dribbler. And a few videos don't mean shit, we all watch the games.
