These are the players in the NBA with the best ball handling ability, they are the players that can keep the ball alive and create there own shots because of the dribbling ability. And it is kind of surprising that there are not that many players with a good handle, but almost ever one of these players are great, see a connection!!!?
1)Allen Iverson: Yeah he is quick but he can get by any player because of his handle, very creative with the ball and is the quickest cross-over in the NBA, can do it all from jab steps to behind the back, easily the best ball handler.
2)Mike Bibby: He is a very clutch player, but his best attruibute might be his dribbling, not that athletic but he can get in the line at any time, and doesn't turn it over that ofter either, seems to always be in control.
3)Kobe Bryant: Unlike most people think, I believe the most important part about Kobe's game is his handle, very good handle for his size, could easily be a tall PG if he was not that good at scoring, very quick with the ball like Allen but is not always as creative like Allen is.
4)John Stockton: Yeah he is old but he is the best at keeping his dribble alive in the NBA, very good and going around defenders and not losing his dribble, not a great cross-over but it is very hard to steal a ball from John Stockton even if he is just about 40 something.
5)Jason Kidd: Maybe should be higher but I think he is more fast with the ball than having a good handle, if this was speed with the ball he would be #1 but it is not, still is a great dribbler though, combined with his speed he is unstopable going to the hole.
6)Jamaal Tinsley: Great handle, very very creative, seems like he has the ball on a string, dribbles low to the ground and players can't get steals off of him easily, once again, not a great athlete but his handle makes up for it in the game.
7)Gary Payton: Kind of nasty with the ball, very aggressive dribbling in traffic, not afraid to go in down low, not a super cross-over or juke move but he still gets it done with penetration.
8)Tracy McGrady: Not a great handle but being that he is 6-8 and fare from the ground he is easily the best dribbler of any player taller than 6-7, but the best part about Tracy even though he has a very good handle, that is not his best attruibute, his athletic ability is, he to is very strong with the ball.
9)Anfernee Hardaway: Even though he is nothing he once was, he will stay around because he has a very good handle, good at penetrating and creating off his dribble, and is not to bad turn over wise, would have been higher if he still played like he once did.
