Iverson Crossover

When you hear the word “CROSSOVER” who do you think of in your head?  There are lots of great crossovers from Tim Hardaway, Kyrie Irving, Jamal Crawford, Chris Paul, Kemba Walker, and list goes on.  But probably most of the people think of Allen Iverson first.  Crossover was his iconic move and his finish move, he even crossed MJ for big time.  Tim Hardaway made crossover popular and usable in the game, but Allen Iverson is the very player who changed the game and guard players to use a lot of crossover.  He also showed that small player can be the best in the league.

Crossover is one of the most used movement during the 1 on 1 as well as post move.  And actually crossing the opponent and dunk(if possible) is the coolest and hyped play.  Please imagine in your head that you break opponent’s ankle and finish at the rim.  It’s so easy to see that crowd standing and getting hyped.  The video below will show you how to make it true.

One thing that he was pointing was the body movement.  He was not really talking about the handling or speed itself.  In crossover, the speed and handling is important, but those are not the most important things because crossover is about how to fake your defender.  It is more important to have better steps and eye movement.  If you can control your body movement, you can cross anyone like Iverson.
