    On Nba.com they have a poll on which player has the best crossover.

    The choices are

    ALLEN IVERSON
    JASON WILLIAMS
    TIM HARDAWAY
    STEVE FRANCIS
    STEPHON MARBURY

    Stevie is second to last place right now. Crossovers are nothing big and all but to tell you the truth, Steve Francis has the best crossover. Im not saying this cause he is a rocket but because he just does. His crossover is more effective.

    Hardaway's probably too old now, but I believe the "Killer Crossover" was actually legitimate, meaning no palming like Iverson. That makes it much more impressive IMO. That thing Iverson does is a joke compared to Tim's.

    Hardaway's crossover was legit. It was awesome to watch him blow by people using it. Iverson's crossover isn't one... it's called traveling/double dribbling. Francis' crossover is probably the best or 2nd best that I can think of.

    I agree with Hardaway as the best ever - not now, but in his prime. Stevie is second because he does it right. Jason Williams does not belong on the list. He is a chump.

    Jason Williams of Duke has a better crossover.

    Speaking of good moves, did you see the one where Francis just TOTALLY DID Troy Hudson off the dribble yesterday. Man he musta shattered his ankles 3 times, then he faked, and troy Hudson flew in the air, and Francis just went rite by him for a stop and pop.

    Man, seeing how the game is going tonight against Orlando I'd say that Moochie deserves to be on that list. He has a killer crossover!!

    You guys are dismissing Allen's crossover...what the hell is Jason Williams doing on that list? The only poll he should be on is "who is the most overrated player in the NBA?"

    He isn't even the best "Jason Williams" in basketball. (The Duke kid could abuse him)

    BTW: Why the hate on Allen Iverson? He hardly ever uses the left-to-right bring-across anymore (due to the reinforced palming rules). He doesnt need a crossover...dude just blows right by his man.

    Iverson without a doubt has the best cross over, however he may have to keep his speed cause Cuttino mobley sez he's got the best cross over. Hey, I say I've got the best cross over!!!!!

    Iverson doesn't say it he just does it on his opponents!!!

    i agree... Although he doesn't use it much anymore, Iverson has the best, but i think that Stevie Boy isn't too far behind.

    ps. alaskansnowman, i laughed when i saw what Steve did to Troy Hudson last night.

    Tim Hardaway had the best.

    No one else has used it as effectively as him since.

    my 2 cents
