NBA Icon Allen Iverson Says Mavericks' Kyrie Irving Has Best Handles 'Ever'
Allen Iverson had one of the most iconic handles in NBA history, with a crossover dribble that even felled the GOAT, Michael Jordan.
But The Answer said on The Big Podcast with Shaquille O'Neal and Adam Lefkoe that Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving has the best handle "ever" (34:34 mark).
"Kyrie will have you beat and then bring it back," he noted. "And play with it. Like he toys with people. He can still just go, but if he feels like playing with you..."
Iverson also praised Stephen Curry's handle, though he noted that the ever-present threat of him splashing a jumper from basically anywhere in the halfcourt allows him to dribble past defenders who are afraid to give him too much space to get his shot up.
Shaq added that he felt like Jason "White Chocolate" Williams was his top choice.
It's a great debate, though getting the blessing of Iverson is certainly a feather in Irving's cap.
