Nash, "Not athletic by any means", but Nash, "So fast, quick, and able to change directions so quickly he was one of the most evasive point guards in history, and amazing hand/eye coordination." Sounds like the definition of athletic to me...

"Pistol" Pete Marovich was doing all these moves we see now 40 plus years ago. He was a true magician with the basketball and was a pure shooter as well. This list is good for the modern era or the past 20 years, but not all time.

Marques Haynes of the Globetrotters exceeds them all - especially those from the 1980's onward who carry the ball, palm the ball, and execute similar cross-over actions which, in all levels of basketball in prior years, would have been called violations in the travelling category.

Kyrie is hands down the best ever! His left hand is so dangerous it’s illegal in 47 states! The English he puts on the ball to make it kiss, or stop on the glass is unmatched! He threw a left handed lob for a dunk to Jordan the other night, that blew my mind! It was effortless and without thinking! He really is ambidextrous! Nash the only person I seen who could make that play! His dribble packages, are unmatched, and a lot of them have never been seen b4! His handle so cold, Lebron, Tatum & KD have implemented some of his dribble moves into their game! It’s like u can’t play with him, and not get better dribbling! It’s just different! Strickland and Kemba should have been on the list, or at least honorable mention!

Two major grips with this list:
1. No Pistol Pete is intolerable disrespect
2. Calling Harden "one of the best offensive players ever"....C'MON SON! Maybe, MAYBE with a few added caveats like off the dribble, or shot creator, then you MIGHT have am argument. But strictly offense with no qualifications? No way is he top 5.
I enjoyed the video though. Props on he content.

I'm a UM fan and I remember when they recruited Crawford. The Scouting report out of H.S. was that he could break anyone down off the dribble. You hear that crap out of H.S. and don't put a ton of Stock in it but Wow were they right. He wasn't near the player at UM that he turned in to. I thought he'd be a bust. I was clearly wrong 😂

If it's flashiest then I completely agree with this list. I'd also say God Shamgod (true he didn't last in the league, BUT he's LEGENDARY) Rafer Alston and Pistol Pete. If it's just best I'd throw in Johnny Stockton, I don't ever recall seeing him losing the ball. Not even close to flashy but dude could take care of it.

You guys need to stop saying players aren't athletic just because they don't have a 40+" leap. You say Nash wasn't athletic by any means, then contradict yourself by describing his speed and dexterity. Dude played ice hockey as a youth and basketball, soccer and rugby in high school.

You neglected to mention Pete Maravich, Earl Monroe, Tiny Archibald and there were many more. There should be am "era" system! Before the rules were changed that allows players today to palm the ball and literally walk to the basket with no opposition! Back when there were real ballplayer that drove to the basket and made the shot, that was an achievement! I miss the old school players! Their accomplishments were truly an achievement, they were hand checked, pushed pulled and held and then the many hall of centers of that time would manhandled anyone that would dare drive down the middle, it was truly something to see!

I thought this list was about " ball handlers" not shooters? Prime Rondo ( 2008- 2014) was fun to watch, true point guard who commanded the floor and team, wanted to get assists over points, but if need be could go get 40 in the playoffs, long arms, strong and smart. Even helped the Lakers win last year in 2020 and now hopefully helps the clippers over the hump.

Yes it's different.
But based on history achievements of those two:
1. iverson breaks the ankle of jordan and kobe. Iverson also breaks defender's ankle that caused them to drop and slides away from him.
2. Kyrie made a bet to kobe "you can't guard me" but kobe wins.

I agree with the list but Zeke has to be up higher. There would be no Hardaway, AI, Kyrie, CP, Steph without that man. His handles back in the day were ridiculous. And like the video said, he did all that in the era of hand-checking. He was second to only Magic in that era of play at the point guard position. And he gave it to Magic when they met in the finals both times. Kyrie is definitely #1, AI definitely is top 3, but Zeke needs to be top 5.

Pistol Pete should be #9 or #10 (check out his behind the back, half-court pass to a cutter in between two players). AI had the crossover, but not much else so I would put him lower. Thomas should be higher even though he was dirty. Rafer Alston should be here, so maybe take Harden off since he travels like 1/3 of the time :)

Difficult list, because it really depends on the situation. Most players know Kyrie is intrinsically a natural ball handler and offensive style. But what about the others? I’ve seen Steph with such extreme ball handling sometimes in some scenarios. Whereas Durant can do a crossover unexpectedly and shock me. Considering he’s 7 foot with insane wingspan and handles well. KD difficult to guard, according to 19 votes (NBA players). Also he’s either top 10 or top 5 in shooting so that’s a cherry on top. Also Derrick or CP3 or Harden also have noticeably good handles with the ball. Sometimes Harden go crazy with the crossovers.
The one that stands out athletically is Curry and Kyrie, so fast. Especially when Curry mixes Kyrie handles and shooting. Best point guard in my opinion.

The thing is the criteria for this list seems ambiguous. For example you list Harden very high for step backs and Euro steps which are moves where you pick up the dribble and not keep controlling the ball as part of the offense. The same with a couple of other options in that list that would be more adept in a list of Top ten Moves.
Ball handlers would include players like Tony Parker who was able to penetrate between tight defenses and multiple opponents without breaking the dribble, or even slip and lose balance and still keep the dribble alive, get up, and continue the play. And like him, others.

Steph Curry gotta be arguably the best, his highlights are him at 6'2 creating his own shot and splashing the ball, but he gets those highlights not from his vert and shooting over guys but from his dripple and handle. Sure, he scores a hell of a lot from off ball movement but as for someing creating their own shot just with their handle...its him or Kyrie

Some y'all are complaining about AI not being #1. Listen, just cause AI had the nastiest crossover, doesn't make him the best ball handler. Most of that had to do with quickness. I wouldn't even have him #2, cause for one he's not as fluid at driving to his left as some of the other ball handlers on the list. That's why his crossover was from left to right. Alot of his dribble patterns are set up for him to drive to his strong side. The best ever ball handlers are suppose to be fluid at driving either left or right, like Kyrie, Steph, CP3, are.

No Kenny Anderson? No Skip or Shammgod? No Stevie Franchise? No Maravich or Bob Cousy? The dudes listed are all legit, but I see too much recency bias here. That's my 2 cents.

This is a list we will never truly know. They didn't allow you to carry the ball back in the day. They are literally allowed to carry the ball in todays NBA so we will never know. That's why we see so many more ankle breakin crossovers today. It also allows the offensive player to easily create separation to shoot the jumper. To hard to defend when you're literally allowed to carry the ball. Today's NBA does not have better ball handlers. If carrying was allowed back in the 90's and 80's this list would be completely different

This list is all about today, but if it were inclusive, Pete Maravich would be at the top. Pistol Pete was famous for both his shooting and his ball handling. Young people today never saw him. If they did, they wouldn't be able to shut up about how great he was. He never played for a great team until the final year of his career when he went to the Celtics. His talents were wasted, even in Boston. I would sit in the stands at Boston Garden and chant under my breath "Put Maravich in. Put Maravich in. Come on, put Maravich in."

Damn they dubbed Rafer and Steve Francis. But Kyrie handle is the greatest. Second to him I would put Jason Williams. No particular order, Top 3 ball handlers for me: Michael Jordan, Kyrie Irving, Jason Williams. Honorable mention: Steph Curry. They literally get to any position they want on the floor.

This guy is obviously a sprout, nothing but new era players that have no defense played against them and much easier dribbling rules. 1: Pistol Pete 2: Isaiah Thomas 3: Mark Price 4: Allen Iverson 5: John Stockton 6: Tim Hardaway 7: Steve Nash 8: Bob Cousy 9:Chris Paul 10: Magic Johnson 11: Kyrie Irving 12: Jason Williams
In the days of Cousy and Pete you couldn't palm the ball, the ball had to touch the bottom of the hand while in the downward position hit the floor and back to the hand in the downward position. That is much more difficult and with hard fouling defenses to boot. To me the most impressive ball handler in history is someone who the ball looks as if it's on a yo yo and can dribble into traffic and dribble out if no options open up, control the dribble the whole time and have controlled dribble at fast sprinting speeds. Not many are in this category but Mark price is the quintessential dribbler in my eye.

Good video but that comment on LeBron’s right leg at the end was unnecessary and inaccurate. He can dunk off his right foot with the left hand as he is ambidextrous too. It’s just that he’s naturally a one legged jumper so that’s how he gets highest in the air, however that doesn’t mean he can’t jump off two feet. In fact I’m pretty sure he’s lobbed it to himself off the backboard and dunked it off two
