[longrange3ball]

Kobe's pump fake (x 2 or 3 in some cases), and then jump shot

 

[JD617]

Best pull up from three: Steve Nash
Either him or Chauncey.

Best up-fake: Either Pierce or Kobe. They're both vicious at it.

I think it's hard to top Manu's Euro step, but that's just me.

Crawford has some good crossovers as well, but he's too risky, Deron is more precise.

I'd say the rest aren't really debatable.

I don't know if you'd call it a signature move, but Kobe's off-balance is $.

sorry, but Andre Miller has the best up-fake in the NBA

I don't know if this is a signature move, but I'll take Melo getting to the rim over anybody

 

[rillo561]

I think Kobe got a nice Fade away.


Stole it from Mike, but whatever.

Ahhh forgot about Chauncey's.

Melo got the best jab step.

Whats wrong with "stealing" it? Man, if it worked, I'd try to duplicate it too. Mike didn't own the fade away anyway... it's just a typeof bball shot.

 

[ezflash26]

Best hesitation step: Derrick Rose
LeBron & D-Rose is 1a-1b with it.

You notice its the go-to move out of damn near every guard who come out the midwest.

i dont have any nominations...
but...

Best 'Change of Speed':
Best Hands (defensivly) :

[jdb1523]

Pull-up midrange jumper and fadeaway: Kobe
baby hook - Tim Duncan

And I've been on NT too much lately bc the first thing that came to my mind was LeBron - crab dribble.

 

[gescobe]

Dream Shake: Hakeem Olajuwon.

 

[outacontrol music]

(waits for a traveling reference...)

Change of speed goes to Chris Paul.One second he's slowing down the next second he's slashing to the basket for a lay up.

 

[xblker47]

just my opinion but most clutch shooter is Steve Nash and Ray Allen

 

[guerrilla warfare]

Best floater: Tony Parker
Best fade away: kobe
Best step back shot: D.wade
Best pull up from three: Steve Nash/Jason Terry
Best crossover: Iverson
Best between the legs step back: Chris Paul
Best hesitation step: Derrick Rose
Best Euro step: Dwyane Wade

 

[shabooyah1124]

Not saying that he does have the best hands defensively, but Melo has great ability in stripping and slapping the ball away. CP3 got that IMO

 

[man listen]

Ray Allen has a mean leaner.

 

[j671]

kobe -best fadeaway
lechump-best travel
