NBA: TOP 10 of Best and Flashiest Ball-handlers in the NBA

Surprise surprise, LBJ/King James might  not have the best crossover in league but he has the best control specially when it comes to driving the lane.  



Kobe Bryant has one  the sweetest crossover in the entire league, though its already regressing as he slows down. Kobe was very memorable with some of his step back dribble and crossover plus pull-up jumper whole through out his career. 


Deron Williams just proved to everybody that he is still one of the best point guard and one of the most flashiest player in NBA today as he was able to dish in double digit assist numerous times this season. 

With his size advantage as he drives through the lane, he can either dish the ball without any problem or through some incredible alley-oop and pulls some killer crossover and get into the rim even in traffic. 





Steve Nash has been one of the top point guards in the NBA in the past decades, Terrific Passing Skills, dribble  drive penetrations, circling out from and under the basket to find an opening or a team mate. His overall skills as a floor general made him a future hall of fame and also he was able to win 2 mvp during those stretch  of his career. 



Rajon Rondo of Boston Celtics doesn't have the smoothness of a ball handler but he has the quickness and his intelligence to know  when and how to distribute the ball effectively. 

His szie and quickness allows him to trick taller players whether to dish or to drive on the lane. Recently, he disshed out 20 assist together with 18 points and 17 reboudnds as the first nba to involve to at least 17 in each category since Magic Johnson did it way back1 1989.



Since Entering the NBA, Chris Paul or CP3 is touted as one of the best Court General  . His mix of speed, athleticism and high basketball IQ makes him a treat to every guard on the opposing teams. Chris Paul is averaging 9.8 assist in his entire career. 



I'm sure its pretty early to adjudged Kyrie Irving, but this dude has a mad handles for his size and a great speed to out plays every defender in front of him. His uncanny mixed of Athelticsm and Mad handles helps him to average over 20+ points as a rookie this season. 



In his rookie season, Ricky Rubio has already taken over the second spot for the flashiest passes, most exciting alley-oops and spectacular dribbling skills.

The Pete Marvich of the current Era, stormed out the NBA Scene this season as he produced some magical passes and untimingly alley-oop pass out of nowhere which can stun every players of the opposing teams. 

Rubio's teammates in Minnesota have learned that they must be ready to receive the ball in all situations, because Rubio will always find a way to get it to them.




It seems like Rose could dribble around defenders all day without turning the ball over. The reigning NBA MVP has the quickest first step in the NBA today and also has the deadliest crossover any given opponent to guard him, his killer crossover was very evident last time out as he scored a winning jumper from an in your face cross on the dying minutes of the ball game against Brandon Jennings. 

A quick first step and the ability to control the ball make Rose one of the most difficult players to guard one-on-one in the entire NBA.
