I would consider Hardaway the pioneer of the killer crossover other players did a variation mainly a change of direction dribble to keep defenders off balance. Timmy made sure you knew what he just did to you, embarassed you with a setup move that was the smoothest (non-carrying) cross I have ever witnessed.

Now B-Diddy could do more than cross you he could jay you up, post you, posterize you or drop dime. I feel like he was more versatile of the two plus he has a bigger frame than Timmy. I have seen him make people fall with his cross and than dunk on them. He even played at the Rucker and was making defenders look silly. His handle was and still is elite.

My vote has to go for Baron, even though Timmy should get a pass to the final four because he was the crossover pioneer. If I was on the schoolyard and I had to pick b/t Tim and Baron all signs point to B.

Baron has the sick handles, too..but because of his size is more of a post up point…he never really needed to create as much space as timmy and can sort of body his way into the lane. He’s probably more explosive, but nowhere near as quick -and that’s what determines how effectively you can pull the cross up
