those similarly-clad gentlemen at the top of the screen seemed to be quite rhapsodic after this triumphant display of dribblesmanship
These are cool and all. But idk. Adams looked like he fell over himself rather than anything Murray made him do. It’s less fun seeing this on a big man switch than it is if a player does it to a relatively similar sized defender.
Wha?? Adams "fell over himself" because Murray crossed him up, and made his knees buckle. He got Adams center of gravity going in one direction, then the quick side-step back forced Adams to try and shift direction too quickly.
Well yeah. He’s nearly 7 ft tall. Him falling over himself had more to do with him being 7 ft tall than the actual crossover. I’m more impressed with these when guys do it to people of a similar size to themselves. That’s all I’m saying.
