    Rafer, Iverson, and Jason Williams are probably the top 3

    rafer ( if he's even in the league anymore... if he's not, he's still got the "illest", but there's a ****load of street ballers w/ handles... ), jwill, then iverson... man those old reebok commercials iverson used to do were badass... through the legs from right, catch it w/ left as you spin to the right, cross back over... lol

    Jason Williams... he can get by anyone when he wants to... that is, when he's not busy bricking 3's and passing into the stands.

    Amen.

    Without an f-ing doubt, Kidd has best handles. He just doesn't have the side to side quickness, to pull off the fancy schmancy crap that Francis or Iverson can do. If he had their quicks, then he'd be the flashiest guard in the league, because of his handle. Kidd is easily the best dribbler, by virtue of not only being able to dribble faster than most NBA players can sprint.

    Kobe Bryant deserves to be up there, as far as "sick" dribbling skills. Not too many 6 ft 7 guys who can pull off what he can do.

    Yeah, I have that clip. The guy he's crossing up is Troy hudson. I remember watching that game when he did it. It was sick.

    Tim Hardaway, still has (or had) IMO the best crossover I've ever seen in the NBA. To see this guy split double teams was a thing of beauty.

    TJ does have some good handles..If any of you guys go to UT ive seen him play pickup games at Gregory.. I didnt know he could dunk with such ease.. he freaking threw it down in the lane around guys that were a good 5" taller than him.. too bad he cant shoot worth #$@!...

    AI EASILY..dont you guys remember that Reebok commercial a few years ago i think when he did that crazy spin move that everybody tried copying.. His crossover is just SICK..

    also I think Troy Hudson is very underrated in every regard and he really has some bad a$$ handles

    What about Tierre Brown? :D I saw him make an AWESOME move this season, maybe it was against the Spurs. Can someone back me up on this?

    I remember him blowing by David Robinson on a spin-move, if that's what you're talking about, but yeah his handles are nice.

    I think Jason Williams (Memphis) has the best handles, without question. He may not be that good of a point guard but he can dribble, pass and cross with the best of them.

    Rafer Alston has the best handles in the game by far.


    Too bad he doesn't have anything else to go along with it.

    Illest (?) handles or not, I wish they would call "palming" or "carrying" more often in the NBA.

    I hate seeing it on nearly every play.

    Why do you want the NBA to be lame like that? They call enough touch fouls already to slow down the game. Thankfully they settled down giving techs for hanging on the rim for more than half a second.
