Very good NBA starter
Who has better handles than Chris Paul?
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

Re: Who has better handles than Chris Paul?
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.

Good look Konex. Great vid. I don't know Stro, that number one play is hotter than anything I can ever remember seeing Crawford do, and I'm a Knicks fan.

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.

Granted I haven't watched much Jamal Crawford for at least a few years, but I'm hesitant, to say the least, to think that his crossover could be anywhere near the GOAT

who's is better? iverson? hardaway? meh. crawford has a ****ing sick crossover. hate on him all you want for chucking or whatever but his handles are incredible. i've never seen anyone do some of the moves he is capable of doing.

Re: Who has better handles than Chris Paul?
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

Re: Who has better handles than Chris Paul?
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?

never.
i haven't forgotten about AI, but paul has him from an efficiency standpoint, and IMO crawford has him from the flashy standpoint, so there was no reason for me to bring him up.

Re: Who has better handles than Chris Paul?
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.
