    Who had the best finger rolls of all-time and who had the best layups of all time? Discuss.

    Finger roll goes to George Gervin, and best layup goes to Aaron Brooks (I know it's more of a hook shot but it still pretty awesome considering his size).

    I said before about Michael Jordan that it was NOT his dunks that captured people, but his LAYUPS. I don't like giving obvious players like Jordan props. But just telling it like it is.

    Young fans teenage and under, almost all couldn't dunk. But they'd emulate the Jordan hanging layups, the tongue sticking out lol, that kinda thing

    Rafer Alston, although inconsistent, most of the time.

    Jason Kidd's finger roll is second to none.

    Clyde is the best ever, running across the lane, flicking a finger roll almost from the foul line..

    The best finger roll belonged to the person who invented it-Wilt Chamberlain.

    I gotta call it a tossup between Gervin and Jr J for the finger roll...

    This thread is about best finger-rolls, not worst tear-drops.

    Gervin. He has patented the finger roll.
