Best Handles in NBA History

NBA legends discuss which player had the best handles of all time.

[ShawnC.T.]

Nick Van Exel was more known for his scoring ability, but he had some sick handles too, that allowed him to be a proficient scorer...

[nikokwho]

I'm not discrediting any other players but J Will was a man lol

[boxer]

in the nba, no doubt, as far as handles, Jason Williams. hands down. no one pulled off so many "playground" moves, that worked in the nba! amazing stuff against elite defenders! JWill

[denisvasiliev]

Jason Williams for sure. Not only did he handle the ball well but he also used that mobility to create openings for the entire team.

[jjosephBlack]

CWebb is the only guy on the panel who was an actual teammate in the NBA with both those guys... His opinion holds the most weight in this debate.

[KenDonMusicYT]

Gary Payton stopped playing defense just to say

[jban]

Pete Maravich drove a car while dribbling a ball. GOAT

[chinu]

Best handles ever:
1. Shaq
2. Wilt Chamberlain
3. Javale Mcgee
4. Dwight Howard
5. Yao Ming

[davidjin]

The OG's Bob Cousy and Pistol Pete Maravich started such a beautiful thing in Basketball.

[stephencarrig]

I wish Kenny had a time limit for comments, he dominates every convo and is the dumbest every time.

[detever]

I remember that game in 97 when Shamgod crossed Arizona But Kenny said we grew up call that the Shamgod. Kenny was grown in 97. Lol It was a dope crossover.

[Ebongknoll]

Rod Strickland. Never lost the ball and led a season in assists and unfortunately never made an all Star. Also one of the best finishers ever.

[ADAJKINGANGEL]

Deron Williams & Chris Paul may have the most underrated handles in the league because they are more textbook than flashy.

[trackcoachmac]

Here’s something to keep in mind, the rules for ballhandling have changed over the years. That’s why so many old people cry about carrying and traveling today. Back when Cousy was playing the hand can only be on the top third of the ball or something like that. So to me, when you consider Maravich and the rules he played in, he has to be on the Mount Rushmore.

[saintconnnor]

shammgod could come out and pick j-will himself, and kenny would argue with him.

[sethhall]

Pete Maravich puts every one of them to shame. I'm not kidding in the slightest.

[fatdan_]

You know you're good if you make the Glove slip up on D.

[tab]

Pete Maravich taught everybody that came after him and all of these guys came after him.

[nomibe]

Pistol Pete was a wizard and I would pick Jason Williams over Shammgod. Tim Hardaway had one of the best crossovers of all times.
