If you go to NBA.com, they have CP3's top 10 plays of the year so far. Watch #1 and tell me who has better handles than this kid. Poor Anthony Carter, that was friken disgusting lol

as far as functional handles/ability to control the ball and create without turining it over? yeah he's probably the best. but as for flashy handles? no one in the league even competes with jamal crawford.

nah.. crawford throwing it off the board to himself while in the air and dunking it >>> anything paul has ever done. also that behind the back then back in the other direction move he uses to set up his floater in transition is incredible. have you ever tried that? i swear its the hardest effing move to do, i've practiced it a bunch of times and still can;t do it well enough to do it in a game. another thing crawford has over paul is that he's breaking out sick moves almost every single time he goes to the hoop. seems like every time he gets the ball he pulls out some street handles. plus imo his crossover has GOAT status.

oh that off the glass dunk was insane. i meant in terms of handles, but that behind the back and back move is pretty difficult you're right. i see it so damn much and crawford makes it look so easy that it doesn't seem as nasty. the thing is jamal gets away with ridiculous carries. everytime he crosses someone it looks like a blatant carry to me and they rarely get him on it. i'm not complaining, being a fan and all, i'm just saying.

you're right though, crawford definitely has overall better handles than cp3, but find be a play where jamal does something hotter than what chris did to anthony carter off the dribble.

I think efficiency has to be as much a factor as flash. Paul has the ball EVERYTIME..making crazy moves/passes and he hardly ever turns it over..

Am I the only one REALLY impressed by the move he put on AC? He was trapped, got away and made the defender do a 360 as he blew by :bowdown:

I feel like the world has kind of forgotten about Allen Iverson. nobody has better handles than AI. in fact that might be AI's problem. he handles the ball so effortlessly there's no real reason to pass to a guy unless he's wide open. before you call me a hater when is the last time AI has ever swung the ball just to swing it?

AI's handles are revolutionary. Seriously, he often does stuff that you are taught fundamentally never to do such as dribble the ball really high. Despite all of this, you can never steal the ball from AI 1 on 1. His handles are just sick and so unique. When you watch him, it seems like the ball is on a yo yo string.

I'm sure Paul's been practicing dribbling nonstop since he was little too. He may not have the "moves" but if you want someone to dribble the ball from point A to point B through defenders without turning the ball over I would take Paul. To me that's what determines "best handle."

too bad hot sauce's "moves" aren't even legal in a real basketball game. thats why he sucks. he spent his whole life practicing stuff you can't even do in a real game.

and ball handling isn't all about "tricks" or "moves" anyways. thats why i have chris paul as a better ball handler than jamal crawford even though crawfords moves are superior to anyone else in the league.

The moves at the 18 and 35 second marks in that video are amazing. He gives really committed fakes and jukes. Lots of guys have fast "twitch" moves, but few guys can commit as far or with as much weight/distance in each direction on each fake as Deron can. That's what sets him apart and gets the defenders on their heels. It helps that his crossover is lightning quick.

That move in the video where he goes over the screen, goes between his legs thinking there's a seam, and then right back between his legs back-to-front, then turns the corner, crosses over and drains the J is amazing. I think it was vs. Detroit. I closed the video already. :oldlol:

Kobe has the best handles.

Kobe has nice moves in the open court and he can split the double with the best of them but his overall handles aren't really impressive compared to Paul or even LeBron.

His dribble is not constantly low and he often loses the ball in traffic. It''s weird cos he does some sick moves in ASG's but he rarely gets creative off the bounce in real games..

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.

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.

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

but yeah i think they all got great handles. iverson was one of the pioneers in "handles" so gotta give him the respect. baron's got the guts to do crazy stuff so he's automatically in. crawford is sick too. cp3 has speed with handles, making him very very dangerous. deron is pretty good too, but he's a bit slower but alot stronger.

no. just commenting on a hot highlight. is that allowed? i think paul's a better handler due to the reasons previously mentioned. he dominates the ball, is the focal point of the offense, yet has a mind boggling assist to turnover ratio, and just a low turnover per game average in general. that added to the fact that he's capable of pulling out sick behind the back moves and crossovers. i'm pretty sure all of this has been mentioned.

perfectly fine...

I still think it's Deron. Like Chris Paul, Deron dominates the ball but has a good turnover rate. Deron also has the ability to effortlessly link all his dribble types/speeds/moves together.

Chris Paul on the other hand frequently has bad bounces when trying to quickly link into a left-handed move. Chris does however have the uncanny ability to recover from those bad bounces quickly.

I think Deron Williams has a better handle and a better understanding of ball handling in general. Paul is more athletic so he can get to spots but it isnt because of better ball handling.
I honestly agree BUT I think it is due to coaching. They are on the same level IMO.

yeah he was getting collapsed on along the baseline then all the defenders stopped and he just walked out of it but I didn't really see anything.

The answer to your question:

Iverson


Davis has got anamazing handle on the ball as well, but he turns the ball over on passes a lot more than CP3 or Dwill.

Anybody else see that play against the Pacers yesterday? Paul was near the baseline, driving, and had two Pacers guarding him, and he had West right behind him in the corner area. He dribbled the ball under his leg looking like he was passing it to West behind him, and froze the two defenders. He kept his dribble and went to the basket, dropping it off to Wright who got fouled.

That was crazy. I had to rewind it a few times. Pacers' commentator Quinn Buckner said players would normally try that move with two hands and Paul did it with one. It happened so fast I was wondering why the crowd ooh'd and ahh'd. :oldlol:

too bad hot sauce's "moves" aren't even legal in a real basketball game. thats why he sucks. he spent his whole life practicing stuff you can't even do in a real game.

and ball handling isn't all about "tricks" or "moves" anyways. thats why i have chris paul as a better ball handler than jamal crawford even though crawfords moves are superior to anyone else in the league.You say this about Hot Sauce, but you have to know that Crawford's amazing behind the back to floater move (I swear it is like something out of Cirque du Soleil), is usually a travel because he includes an illegal pro hop. They don't call it, but it is still traveling.
