    Hardaway's moves were actually legal though.

    Hard to beat Tim Hardaway's crossover. He did it without carrying too... unlike Wade and D-Will.

    Isiah had an underrated crossover.

    Big Game James Worthy had an excellent first step.

    Best crossovers in Rockets history were Stevie Franchise and Skip to My Lou.

    You weren't the first to mention Cat in this thread. But you said it best. I loved that man, too. I might go so far to say I loved Cuttino more than any other Rockets player I ever watched...for his shear love for the game and how all his teammates loved him...how they all stayed at his house in the summer to practice...and how he invited them over to his moms for dinner before games and all. I wish I was Cuttino more than Dream.

    Cuttino and Rudy were the best thing that ever happened to a broken family Steve Francis. That's the truth.

    There was one Rudy ISO for Cat against the Knicks and a still spry Sprewel had him for the last shot. Everyone knew what was coming...and Cat just blew right past Spre and beat the collapsing d as well for a layup win!

    And people say why did Rudy like Cat so much.

    I love Cuttino.

    I'm so sad he couldn't finish his career in full time.

    Rafers Choices post-crossover:

    A. Pass it to Yao
    B. Pass it to McGrady
    C. Pass it to Scola
    D. Floater

    Seemed like 80% of the time he opted for choice D.

    I remember trying to do Hardaway crossovers on fast breaks when I was a kid, note even close.

    The thing with Hardaway is that he makes it look so simple. Maybe it is, but it's lightning quick.

    I have a feeling Derrick Rose will go on this list someday.
