    Gotta agree with Terry: Jamal Crawford.

    He is also my choice due to his ability to finish strong at the rim after the initial move. It's amazing how quickly he's been forgotten in general now that he's in New Jersey.

    I'd give an honorary mention to Wall on account of his sick explosiveness.

    I always liked Nash's crossovers.

    He does it without explosiveness, lateral quickness and general athletic advantages that other players have.

    D-Rose's cross is a little overrated in my opinion. He's very explosive and will get past you but it's more a factor of his speed and quickness rather than ball handling. As for the best cross, D-Wade all day. Because, he'll cross you but he'll finish strong to cap it off as well.

    Chris Paul can get anywhere he wants to on the floor with a basketball. I'll go with him.

    He sure can. Don't know if he has the best crossover but IMO he's definitely got the best handle in the league bar none. He can dribble right through 5 defenders multiple times on one possession without screens and still get a layup or an open jumper for a teammate.

    I know a lot of people on here were not able to see him in his prime but you can't forget Mr. Killer Crossover, Tim Hardaway. You can even go back as far as the Utep 2 Step. One of the first to really break some ankles in an era that not many other players were doing it.

    If you never saw him really play I suggest you watch this video.

    Gotta go with Rose, his speed on the crossover is deadly.

    Going with Francis, AI, and Hardaway... in no particular order.

    Too bad Francis would cross someone over and often have an open lane, but decide to go back out again and try to recross over his man.

    got to go with CP3 has the sickest crossover. Wouldn't argue with any of the guys mentioned in this thread though.
