His crossovers are a type of hesitation move which quickly turns into a fast cross that leaves defenders like "This nigga..."

I remember, it was 1997 and I was a huge Jordan fan, and then my brother comes and tells me about this new player named Allen Iverson, I was like who? Obviously there was no internet so the only way to check him out was on T.V. Luckily they used to play a basketball tv show every Saturday in my country (Mexico) and there he was, they were talking about Allen Iverson and the first footage they showed was that crossover against Michael Jordan. I was blown away by the way he handle the ball. From that moment on I tried to watch every game they play on TV. Until this day I haven't seen another player as explosive as Iverson. Thank you so much, Iverson. You change the game and you change me. A.I. Forever.

AI isn't the King of crossover, he's the EMPEROR. Kids nowadays can argue about if guards liked Irving, Curry or CP3 has a better ball handling,but none of these can do it at that speed. No one can guard him for a whole game, too pressure on those ankles and this video shows why his dribble is still UNMATCHED.

His crossover is just a piece of art.........

greatest ankle breaker on the planet

don't ever compare Iverson to anybody in today's game Iverson is in a class all by himself

The crazy thing is even tho he broke everyone ankles he always FINISHES the play...half the players can't even make a jumpshot off the dribble

This man doesn't get enough credit for what he brought to basketball. He might not be the greatest player ever, but his style inspired tons of young ball players to have a sense of personality out on the court. The way he expressed himself through his body movements, kind of made you want to imitate that out on the court.

almost everytime he crosses someone he makes the shot that is incredible

allen iverson best ball handler in the nba history!

king of the crossover even today theres no mre like him..... salute

I need to make a tshirt that says.. "Allen Iverson been bruising ankles since the Ice Age."

The only thing he lacked was size but he made for hand skills. He's the best dribbler in the NBA.

Iverson doing euros b4 Ginobili, step backs b4 Harden, and pull backs b4 NBA 2K.....true innovator

#75 is my all time fav. Dude ran of the damn court lmfao

Iverson I hope you see this. When I have a shitty day I always come to you to break out! Thank you brother!

The name of that cross over is the ghost. He learned it at Georgetown. It was banned after three seasons and he had to revert to the traditional cross. I remember the first time the refs called travel. After the rookie season murdering of mj23 I wasn't shocked. Damn those were some amazing days. He was the original and 1 mix tape . And don't forget when he dunked on camby.

Revolutionary.

what makes Iverson different from other players today is that when he crossed u he didn't gloat he didn't try to say that he owned u no everytime he did a move was to try to score not trying to look flashy but just to finish the play and it's funny to me how underrated he is in the handle category bc y is he being compared to curry and kyrie we harldy ever try to compare kobe to Jordan we know that the game changed since Iverson left but no one can compare to the original crossover king

Iverson crossed Kobe Scottie and Michael and Garry Payton lol dudes a legend

finally watched iverson highlights that put the double fall down on no.1....

a lot of things can be argued about nba...but whos the best ball handler of all time?no dought about it...Allen Iverson...period

The King of CROSSOVER

rip to all those ankles harmed in the making of this video

it's such an enjoyment watching him handle the ball.

Pound for Pound, no one better....

Iverson was cold blooded man!!

One hell of a cross over

The key to his crossover is he actually makes a move directly to score, either a pullup or to the rack. Lotta guys just dribble side to side and waste time for no reason.

People like curry, irving, paul and so on are very skilled ball handlers but mainly flashy and legitimately are no where near iversons level I mean Iverson was shaking ankles with basic moves imagine if he did flashy dribbles I mean cmon now, Iverson simply was the best ball handler.

Haven't watched the whole thing but 59 I already know is the best crossover I've ever seen..burned 2 defenders..ONE guy guarding him jumped an broke and TWO the 2nd guy guarding somebody else with 8feet of cushion from A.I. an jumped an broke the same exact way as the 1st defender hahahah OOOOOMMMMGGGGG wat a fucking sicko

When you talk about the greatest people neglect to mention A.I. but there is no disputing, doubting or denying that Allen Iverson was legitimately feared on the basketball court. Congrats to him and I'm glad to have watched his Hall of Fame career from the first basket to the last.

Iverson is the best for real

Allen Iverson is better than Kyrie and Curry. That's the truth

the best the world have ever seen

Allen Iverson without cornrows/braids is just weird. What a legend.

AI is a legend I grew up admiring this guy and his swagger

How you this good without practice

if anybody mention they can guard Allen Iverson watch this video and your going to be so humiliated and how the hell the man from 3:46 fall to the outer bound I don't even need a explain Allen Iverson the goat of all handlers Realest goat

Wow. When Jordan would take people off the dribble he would actually palm the ball (double dribble btw) to get an edge during a crossover. Iverson had no need to do that, he was just that great.

You literally could make 100 Yeet vines out of these crossovers. AI was a monster in his heyday.

A.I vs 2011 D.Rose My ankles are already sore

The best of the best allen inverson great player you are retire now both never forget never

Can't stop watching this guy...

The legend.

Curry great player. But the answer would've destroyed him. 1v1. No screens. No give and go's. Imo Ijs

I feel like in half of these Kyle Korver was begging AI for the ball, but once he's in the zone he has to take over.

for me? allen is the best no one can replace even kobe or james....

Allen iverson best crossover ever in the game 😈

Great Job! Must have been hard work to search and cut all of these x-overs, a lot of them i didn't know, thanks for that! There is nobody in the nba today who has moves like this...

God of Crossover.

GOAT

#5 and #2 my favorites

Thanks pennyccw! I love your Iverson vids. A.I.'s my GOAT.

Legend...

Steph Curry would also had a hard time guarding A.I.

the 6ft. assassin.. and still no other ANSWER but him

ai is the greatest player of all time not just his crossovers or moves but the big heart he has there are times he is injured but still he plays and give his 101% and you wont even notice that he’s body is broken because the way he plays the game,,i onow there will never be a player like ai in the future but i hope we could see one that almost play just like ai , so it would remind us how great player is ai

@3:28"I'm done, lets go home, I forfeit". That's what I would've said if I was Stoudamire. That was just nasstttyyyy! @3:45, that stepback was so fast & powerful, it created a sonic boom that rocketed the defender out of his way.

i wouldnt say they're in great order but that shit was good.

Allen Iverson and Michael Vick. 2 most unique athletes we will ever see

number 6 was filthy. should have been top 3 imo

i like such moments like 84th 2:30 when he did almost 100% assist and at same time goes out of cover.. So smart and effective

He was ahead of his time, some players were already doing the crossover in the league before A.I. did but no one could ever really guard him. He had power and speed in those legs, he had the leap and quick handles, and most of all he was a gifted scorer. They shouldn’t have named him The Answer ‘coz he was The Problem for anyone in the league. He created the Mamba for crying out loud.

beautiful video, thanks.

#83 @ 2:37... thats when iverson was fresh on the scene..hittin dudes up doin em dirty ..splittin em in half lol

He's got more moves than anybody in the history of NBA. Sad to say what I witnessed in the 90s was the greatest era of NBA talent. Nobody compares today except Lebron and Steph Curry. No more super talent*

shiiit this IS NASTY! :) this is really nasty! great highlights PENNY! :)

Luv it thanks penny Thank u Luv vids keep it up Doong great

Nobody I repeat nobody can crossover like this man...nobody now and nobody then...the closes to even scratch the surface is Steve Francis...

the best ever related to size...

And the best part is after he crosses them he makes all his shots even lay ups

no one can stop AI cross

this guy is fun to watch

If theres an intergalatic basketball league definitely a.i. Will be our pg the fastness of the man is killing everybody

3:50 Legend has it , he's still looking for an empty seat to rest his crossovered ass haha

The goat

Jordan head was shiny that day

And he was a beast in football too

very very very very very good

#5, #1 most memorable for me

Crossover inventor!!!!!

allen iverson is probably one of the best point guard or even player in history. too bad he got attitude issues, if not, coaches will fight for him!. it's sad that his retirement is not as grand as kobe

This makes me wanna play 2K. I always make my PG with his playing style.

Anyone notice this dude swishes everything

Anybody who call his crossover a carry,blow ya whistle!

WOOOOOP #45

#1 is maybe the dirtiest move I've ever seen. That poor guy should've just retired mid-game

Best players Jordan Allen Kobe all different eras 😁😈

AI brought swag to the NBA tattoos armbands wearing Street clothes to the game

Arts!

The Legendary Ankle Breaker

The dribble king 🤴

Let us all say a prayer for Chris Childs. May his ankles rest in peace.

Kobe: "No one can beat me 1v1." lol ok

Big player

I miss him

#3 and #1 is my favorite

Liso D+!! 🔥🏀
