Of all time, I have to go with Tim Hardaway. The dude invented and perfected the modern day cross-over. In the game today, I have to go with Jamal Crawford over Rose. Rose is naturally gifted in that he's fast but Crawford actually uses the cross over to neutralize and fake out his defenders
What are you guys talking about? Chris Paul does not have a "sick" crossover. He has the best handles of the last decade but not nearly enough quickness to shake his man consistently with one move. Although, it is amazing how he can get into the paint at will without elite athleticism or a spread out offense. He just navigates through traffic so well.

I agree. He gets the best seperation than anybody I've seen. The defender end up looking like they are stuck in cement, or they end up lying on the court.
In todays game I'll go with Jamal Crawford that shake and bake of his is sick...but Tim Hardaway had hands down the best i've seen. For example just try doing that cross like him and if you can master it works everytime.
