Jamal Crawford's Handles Broken Down to a Science

Jamal "Crossover" is arguably the most fitting nickname in the league today. Crawford, a three-time 6th Man of the Year winner, is a truly unique talent, especially in terms of ball handling. One of the pioneers in a new generation of handles, Crawford has some very interesting techniques in his arsenal. We break them all down above.

[@AtodaZ23]

Man, this has to be the most underrated basketball channel out there. You deserve at least ten times the amount of subscribers you have now.

[@mubbasherniaz8082]

Jay Jay shhhh the fewer the viewers the more the broke ankles. Lol nah you seriously deserve so many more subs and viewers tho. The efforts you put into each of the videos is insane and I appreciate ut

[@mike5861]

200th like

[@gabrielgarcia437]

U took the words right out of my mouth bro.

[@dariusjones179]

I swear I say this on all his videos as long as he keeps making it for us I won’t complain hoopers want to get better he’s breaking it done I’m front of your faces and I’m a college athlete saying this I play ball

[@Chandasouk]

Always liked the soulful instrumentals. Sounds like some 9th Wonder stuff.

[@ByAnyMeansBasketball]

Chandasouk agreed!

[@adami8114]

Could we get a video on Paul George or Jimmy Butler?

[@ThaDreamMerchant]

Boy whatchu know about 9th Wonderful?

[@Chandasouk]

The Dream Merchant Only what he produced for Little brother lol

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodvue]

Most underrated ball-handler, I always got him first as the greatest ball-handler

[@ah00dii85]

His ball handling skill set is mad scary, smooth, crafty, and elusive. Ik defenders get mad nervous to guard him 😂. Good video, I felt like the music matched his video 2.

[@seroyal1089]

I appreciate these videos. Idc who it is, I just love the breakdowns

[@dracoking819]

SE Royal your welcome

[@Soosss]

nigga u didnt make this draco king

[@pinpointaccuracy1]

Came here for Jamal Crawford but stayed because of the fire instrumental!🔥🔥🔥👋🏿👋🏿🏀🏀

[@raymondrose3640]

Me 2 dude

[@oakleyklj]

Man, I don't watch all of your videos, which is probably my loss. But every time I decide to they are always so enjoyable. The music, the editing, the work you put it. Stuff is great.

[@wwspd7105]

Jamal is so underrated as only iverson is known as the father of the crossover,Jamal is almost not even mentioned that much when someone talk about handles.They only talk about curry and iverson

[@lahkooky504westside3]

and Kyrie

[@ericskeldon9169]

He's my all time favorite player

[@cloutt_y6181]

no one says curry fool

[@thetruth3454]

@@cloutt_y6181 yeah they do a lot actually

[@davidmitchell1134]

Tim Hardaway is the father of the crossover. The UTEP Two Step!

[@LifelsGreat]

Dude, your channel is fantastic! Thank you so much for all the great content.

[@haroldthornton8624]

this is one of few channels I look forward to just wish we could have content more frequent

[@zislec]

Coldest player in the game. No candy coated moves, strictly effectiveness. BTW great channel! 😎👏👏👏

[@MiroTheHero7]

Hey I don't know if you've taken Kinesiology or Excercise Science in college/university but your videos are great with so much detail, everything is explained perfectly and it all makes sense. Just wanted to say keep up the great work.

[@MixTape2k]

How was he never a all star?? He handles are up there with the best ball handlers all time and when he’s hot, he can get a bucket any time. Great scorer with all time handles and a good playmaker.

[@geoabraham9744]

Yeah someone please care to explain, he had the ability to score on will..

[@letoiaselemo4980]

you have got yourself a new subscriber! Great video!

[@samuelito4721]

lol I used to just watch these casually but now I try pause and read the descriptions to learn the moves

[@bilal1878]

keep it up man crawford also one of my fav player

[@tradz1793]

wow only 52000 subscribers for a channel like this ? this channel deserves more. great editing, detailed infomation and great song choice. keep it up !

[@samd5922]

One of the few channels I disable adblock for.

[@omgness1234]

Such an undervalued player, he has never come up in convos across the years but he's still so raw, inconsistent but raw when he's feeling, plus he puts up all the summer league highlights

[@0ldMatty2]

Thank you for this video it is one of my all time favorites, Crawford is one of my sports heroes and the music is great too

[@MadMax-tt4sw]

I had to watch this as soon as u posted

[@ssj_primal]

Didn't even view the vid yet and I liked it ...thank you for uploading been waiting for a vid on j cross ever since you made this channel

[@joeseyed2589]

thanks for the great content especially on one of my favorite players!

[@bektur34]

Great work as usual! It would be cool if you could break down Jokic's game. Considering his lack of athleticism I think there are many things people can learn from that breakdown

[@kalebwendler5348]

BEST WEEK EVER. YOU POSTED AND BALLISLIFE POSTED ANKLEBREAKERS VOL4

[@danieletoroma2170]

Thank you for doing this one on Jamal Crawford

[@drodriguez1724]

I unsubscribed just to get to press that subscribe button again lol Crawford is deadly, one of my favorite players.

[@Joseph-zh7fm]

Nice! Really appreciate what you doin here brother. Keep it up. We'll spread the news of your greatness

[@michealblackson9070]

Finally🙏🏾💯thank you for doing this video

[@davidmitchell1134]

Crawford has by far my favorite handles all time

[@rjextreme6225]

Daamn you too good! I'm subscribing!

[@bm1623]

Going to ball out in the bubble 🔥

[@christiananton6655]

you should do a video on the art of passing. Like situational stuff and tips.

[@RahulPresentsKobe]

It's cool that you broke down the hop here. I was just studying Kobe's tendency to hop to push off the back foot recently., and now I see that Jcray has been doing the same move. No surprise though, Kobe has/had the best footwork and Jamal still has one of the best hesitations in the game.

[@gloedup150]

I fuck with your videos can you break down Dwyane wades how Wade been getting injured threw his career kinda like the Rose and Kobe videos

[@swpneelhoque6114]

GLO • ENT thing is D Wade probably an all star candidate most years

[@gloedup150]

Swpneel Hoque still had alot of setbacks injury wise

[@ahdoote]

This series of videos are phenomenal, I love watching each and every one of them. Thank you and please keep them coming!

[@swagking2674]

Best basketball channel on KZbin hands down

[@Juanbebogaming23]

Really loved this video. Full of knowledge. Appreciate what you are doing. Would love to train. God bless you guys.

[@SuperRealSkillz]

he got the nastiest handle in the League right nowwwwwww

[@ughronnie3537]

Paul Roan and 2k gives him gold ankle breaker instead of hall of fame.

[@tyler8447]

Paul Roan *Ever

[@samfogel5390]

So are you suggesting that part of why Crawford is so effective is because of his body type, and in that case do different people have unique ways to be effective in their ball handling, based on their body type?

[@ByAnyMeansBasketball]

Sam Fogel exactly

[@sunnysani6995]

Yup, he plays like iverson but had the body type of kevin durant. So thus the ball handling are quite different.

[@geoabraham9744]

Young Kobe used to dribble the ball a lot like Crawford, I think it has a lot to do with the body type..

[@maximillianschauer1439]

great video but u didnt explain the famous behind the back hop he did to kitk, deron wiliams , faried, and many others

[@hemonga]

maximillian schauer This is his signature, the shake-and-bake. He explains it him self in one interview in the clippers facility

[@reganchambers9684]

this really helped me a lot at basketball. thanks

[@jakemclaughlin7277]

[@arikhayes3992]

I must say that this type of attention to detail is impressive to any real fan of the game. This is the type of guy that you would enjoy watching a game with

[@duggaf7419]

nice vid man the music was perfect

[@1bigskeez]

that instrumental is dope

[@Streetballress]

@byanymeansbasketball I know you stick to NBA but a special edition of an elite ball handler like Bone collector or professor, perhaps Hot sauce should be a delight. Please let me know if you do. Thanks. On the other end, maybe a few College and High school Elite guys also.

[@Ghosttec-od8ri]

attention to detail : lamarcus aldridge

[@furkandenizozdemir8457]

great job!

[@aarongropp4775]

Good music in the background

[@Underdog_Basketball]

The Professor, please. #respect

[@valentrix]

Jamal Crawford a.k.a biggest all star snub of all time

[@teeghee34]

[@TheLoc0]

😂😂

[@maximillianschauer1439]

jamaal is my favorite player. thats a baller

[@leeminjun2809]

Good music ! Love it and the video 👌

[@itsme-lele1810]

[@jayreddy6038]

love j crossover but widening your hips into the cross stance with front/back feet ain't unique to him lol. great video though man, love the content. dropped a sub.

[@SuperColddd]

I need this instrumental. Name please!

[@ronnyv5871]

atenntion to detail tracy mcgrady, stephon marbury,brandon roy, steve francis, paul peirce, monta ellis, paul george, kawii leonard, nate robinson , sam cassel, chauncey billups some suggestions to add toyour list love the channel by the way very exquisite

[@robyfischer4501]

sorry buddies i know im late but this guy is such a underrated genius. 3's and handles (and 6"5' with that), what else do you want in bball ? non-titled player but who enjoy the game and do us enjoy it even more than with robot-cyborg like LeBron... He just perfectly transmit us his passion

[@whobitmyname]

Man, I really wish this has included a breakdown of that signature hop step of his.

[@jordangreen5198]

Instrumental?

[@joedurkk5524]

@By Any Means Basketball can you make a video on how to drive by defenders

[@oxfordbambooshootify]

this dude could make a breakdown of zaza and make him look good

[@DOGB14]

I'm sure you have a million players lined up but if you could do a Ricky Rubio breakdown one day Thad be awesome

[@JohnRedTV]

Can you do an attention to detail: Isolation moves

[@ayyeejoey6673]

Wow learned a lot thanks def subed

[@andizmazter8345]

Dope video. Subscribed.

[@PyroInferno110]

finally thank you

[@riley1160]

Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler or Paul George please! Great video by the way. I also think nujabes might be a good choice of music for your next videos

[@illuminatigbeats1397]

i think Lamelo should make a call to j crossover and ask him to show him some stuff to add to his game. they have a similar freestyle crossover and drive game.

[@danielferreira-gl6yk]

keep up the good work man, can you try and do a breakdown on paul george please
