Fast dribbling and quick feet are on show as the NBA countdown the best ten crossovers from February.
A lot of the time, it’s the amazing dunks and big three pointers that grab the headlines and highlight reels in basketball.
What people seem to forget are the incredible dribbling abilities that some NBA players possess and the speed at which they can do it.
Point guards are primarily the best dribblers on the team, and this list is dominated by them, especially Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving.
When you can dribble so fast and technical that you make people fall over without even touching them, you know you’ve done a good job.
In the case of Kyrie Irving, he did all of the above, then hit a three pointer. All of this while in the All-Star game, what better place to embarrass someone than in front of all his peers?
So while Lebron James and Blake Griffin are performing their dunks for everyone to see, give me an ankle-breaker any day, that’s a tougher skill.
