Master of the the spin

[Bronbron23]

who would you say is the master of the spin move? The best i can think of off the top of my head are mj, bron, kyrie and hakeem. Hard to say who's the best. Mj, kyrie and hakeem can do a shit ton of stuff of the spin but lebron can straight bully defenders off it and has some pretty sick dunks off of it too. The spin move is actually one of lebrons more graceful moves.

Im probably missing a ton of contenders but who you got?

Shaq would spin move with his elbows up and pulverize anyone in his way and yam it.

yeah forgot about rose. He was so fast and explosive. He was a master of alot of shit back then.

[Kblaze8855]

Earl Monroe was probably the first. Not first to spin of course...first to make it a major weapon. He had a nice spin and reverse all the way back to college.

Tony Parker needs some consideration.

i dont think there's ever been a smaller less athletic dude to finish in the paint like parker... the ultimate trickster.

Shot forgot about him. He probably used the spin more than anyone

[dbugz]

Yup. TP's fastbreak spin move is a thing of beauty

[rawimpact]

That idiot Julius Randle on the knicks

It's like his only move and somehow he was awarded a 3 year 63 million contract.

Parker was one of the fastest player in the league for years. He didn't have much leaping ability but he was really, really fast.

Steve Smith Jedi mind trick half spin. Deadly.

learned them from a young greek

[Reggie43]

Jalen Rose and Mark Jackson.

[Reggie43]

Jalen probably got his move from Magic. Mark Jackson plays similar but im not sure if Magic was one of his inspirations.

Parker's full court speed was never particularly impressive. Acceleration sure, but most NBA guards are quick. And all at his size definitely are. It was always his craftiness that stood out to me. The crossovers, hesis, spin moves, floaters, and reverse layups that he used to consistently fake defenders out with. He wasn't just jetting by guys... he was outsmarting them with supreme skill ~ footwork and dribbling. His hesitation game was top notch.

Always thought Bean had a nice spin. The one he used to reverse pivot was clean.

Julius Randle. It's his go-to turnover move.

One thing Dwade is really good is his pump fakes. I hate the dude but I must admit he's really good at selling a fake jump shot.
