These are the best NBA Ankle-Breakers of all time by each year! 2000 to 2021. Clips used in a partnership with BBTV NBA Playmakers. Business Inquiries: mcosh3@gmail.com
I wish Philly would have given Allen Iverson more help. Dude carried that team on his back and took them to the finals with an ancient Mutombo and a bunch of AAU players!
I swear as much as I like everyone's crossover and old school ones like Tim Hardaway, that Joe Johnson over Paul 3:17 is the greatest one for me. It was like here is the ball can you grab it? It is like you are bouncing the ball right in front of a little kid who just can't grab it haha.
I agree and because of that, I never understood the hype about Tyron Lue falling down after Iverson shot. That was never because the crossover or because the shot. He stumbled on Iverson foot after the shot because he was looking the ball after shot.
@@viniciuscmaia I never thought that lue fall was because of the crossover but the fact that after the crossover he fell down and Iverson stepped over him is iconic.
@@Domilomi slips count as ankle breakers tbf, cp3 slipped as well. If you try to defend someone and slip cause you have to change direction then that’s fair play
@@joepbijlholt3315 changing direction and slipping is obviously ankle breaker. This guys was running for a closeout not even guarding him on some crossover or anything. But it’s fine everyone can have their own opinion
@@Domilomi going from going towards the basket to defend the drive, to slipping cause you gotta close out, is changing direction. an ankle breaker doesn't have to be from a crossover imo, but ye as you said everyone can have their own opinion.
@@joepbijlholt3315 that’s a slip he didn’t get fooled he just tripped trying to contest. For an ankle breaker to be an ankle breaker you have to actually cross someone, make them go the opposite way, yk, what an actual crossover is. U can’t just say u broke someone’s ankle cuz they slipped.
It was about 5 legit crossovers in this video. All before 2011. No push offs. Back in my day we didnt have to put our body on defenders because we dribble for real.
pretty sad you cant respect modern day ball handlers just because guys like harden and doncic push off for a living, and glorify the players "in my day", when players like jordan, wade, and mcgrady were masters of the pushoff move as well (and theres nothing wrong with that). stay salty brother.
I love when people push players so obviously and still call it an ankle breaker, like bro didn’t jus shove a player with momentum already going to that side 😂
Kyrie has the best handle in NBA history. Iverson has the best CROSSOVER in NBA history. Not handle overall. Iverson is easily the better player though!
@@guillermo8843 iverson also covers more distance on his crossovers.. Kyries handles might be a bit more complex but iversons are more effective covering more ground and shifting
Im familiar with ankle breaker but that shit AI pulled on Daniels was ankles breaker. Legend has it that both his ankles got destroyed beyond saving by surgery so they amputated both his legs at the knees 😂😂
I'm glad to see they put Allen Iverson up here for multiple years. He was probably the best handler in NBA history in my opinion. His signature crossover literally forced a rule change
@@viniciuscmaia Curry can f off. Lol. I'm an Iverson fan, and Kyrie has the best handles, but Iverson has the best crossover. Iverson is lethal with his crossover cause he's also the quickest player in NBA history so that makes him an insane scorer.
Rondo is a lot more savage than people give him credit for Also are we gonna not talk about the fact that Dwayne wade sent that dude to Narnia with that ankle breaker
The way D Rose does those crossovers going full speed is something special!
wasnt special for his knees tho
@@shanejman It's okay. We all know DRose is one of the goats tho. He won MVP in LeBrons Prime.
5:38 "They don't have that kind of crossover in Shanghai."
Not sure if that would be considered appropriate to say today 🤣
-1000000 social credit
lol
im in Shanghai and i felt it funny as well XD
@@meepo5223 vpn?
Still factually true, that was funny as hell tho
I wish Philly would have given Allen Iverson more help. Dude carried that team on his back and took them to the finals with an ancient Mutombo and a bunch of AAU players!
They had the DPOY and the 6 man of the year that year….
@@lik7953 but mc kie scored 6 ppg
Jesus Christ loves you and everyone
😂😂😂 ancient mutombo
@@lik7953 TF THEYRE ALL WASHED STFU mutumbos prime is gone
The Iso Joe on Pierce one is so damn good. Made him touch earth with them tippy-taps.
I swear as much as I like everyone's crossover and old school ones like Tim Hardaway, that Joe Johnson over Paul 3:17 is the greatest one for me. It was like here is the ball can you grab it? It is like you are bouncing the ball right in front of a little kid who just can't grab it haha.
It’s like balls on his chin but no grabbin.
Andre Iguodala literally ended Quincy Miller's career with that wicked crossover🤯🤯 🔥🔥
Warriors fan
@@jaxcrafts5027 hard not to be one when they are winning the most rn
@Oscar Wong lmao u think bandwagining is justified?
@@getgood2596 I don’t rlly know what that means, I’m pretty new. What does it mean?
WE GOT ANOTHER WARRIORS FAN
6:28 Steve Frances Was Just Playing With Buddy!🤣😂
Stevie franchise could’ve been so much more. Amazing talent in his short prime.
Facts
2:28 look at curry's reaction 😂😂😂
Ankle breakers don’t count if you/someone steps on someone’s foot
That’s why the jame harden one is beautiful
I agree and because of that, I never understood the hype about Tyron Lue falling down after Iverson shot. That was never because the crossover or because the shot. He stumbled on Iverson foot after the shot because he was looking the ball after shot.
@@viniciuscmaia because he fell and Iverson stepped over him in the Finals
If my move makes you step on my foot and fall, it’s an ankle breaker
@@viniciuscmaia I never thought that lue fall was because of the crossover but the fact that after the crossover he fell down and Iverson stepped over him is iconic.
@@YesYES-no8kf some people say that Chris Paul fell down because he stepped on Currys foot, well, he stepped on his foot because he got crossed.
Iverson’s 2006 crossover is my all time favorite.
Man 2018 is savage but the commentary made it that more awesome
Allen Iverson double cross that made dude touch earth 2 times in less than 2 seconds is the best move in NBA history, and tbh it isn't close.
Yeah, no. Lillard embarrassing those two defenders will always be a close second. AI takes it on historical value though
100%
No
ISO joe had Paul pierce crawling on all fours bro
@@gabrieldnchf2822 Allen Iverson had this dude playing twister
the 2004 clip killed me lmao that dude slid ALL the way outta bounds
5:18 Rumor says he's still falling to this day
Still took the dubs
The Andre Miller was cold asf. I remember watching that game. We dont really know him for his crossovers so it was amazing to it on live tv
“They don’t have that kind of crossover in Shanghai”
Dead asf 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Answer AI was different 💥💥
Lmao Bell literally went from the 3 point to base line between stumbling and sliding! D-Wade stop on a dime was always nasty!
D-wade broke the guy from the three point line to the basket
Pushed*
Iverson is undoubtedly the crossover King. He was a walking highlight reel.
Enjoyed the random order! Nice work
Iguodala's crossover made me put my hand to my chest and go "ohh" like an old lady.
Iso Jo was always so smooth and Drose literally destroy those ankles 😂
Does anyone see that sequence from kyrie in the rising stars game??? That has got to be the cleanest size up in the nba
The 2020 and 2019 clip both happened in November 2019, I was there for both games. Great vid regardless.
When rose crossed bro the commentator said “almost came out of his Nikes”😂im high as laughing every time somebody get crossed
“Someon call someon” quote 2022
That Kyrie move on Knight is still one of the dirtiest moves I’ve seen
Man slipped on the closeout lol.

Great video. Not sure why that Jason Tatum one was shown but besides that nice
Brandon knight: playing defense on kyrie
Gravity: *hello bozo*
So NO JAMAL CRAWFORD crossover at all 🤔
Frrrrrr
2021 should be pg on cp-3, THAT was a murder
ya
Fkn faxx 🤣🤣🤣
For sure
Indeed
Yeah but this channel seems to dislike the Clippers. All the Clippers in this vid are on the wrong side of the crossovers
1:09 Someone call someone LMAO
AI GOAT ankle breakers
This should’ve just been named “NBA Best Ankle-Breaker Against The Clippers Every Year! | Since 2000”
Tht first cross over by Mitchell reminded me of one of Allen Iverson's most iconic cross overs against Washington!
2:52 nasty asf. And it's an all star game too daamn
Man that Harden crossover on Wesley Johnson was cold blooded, the way he just stares him down waiting for him to get up…
These are hilarious
My friend in literally every basketball game:
Fr though in our basketball games he always breaks people and it is quite funny
It was about 5 legit crossovers in this video. All before 2011. No push offs. Back in my day we didnt have to put our body on defenders because we dribble for real.
pretty sad you cant respect modern day ball handlers just because guys like harden and doncic push off for a living, and glorify the players "in my day", when players like jordan, wade, and mcgrady were masters of the pushoff move as well (and theres nothing wrong with that). stay salty brother.
i think we can all agree hardens "ankle breakers" are just push offs where the defender fell over
The quality of the 2001 clip is surprisingly good.
"A WISE MAN ONCE SAID."
"BEST ANKLE BREAKER CORYXKENSHIN"
Franchise was a beast... 32 and 14 assist... Crazy
That 2019 Harden crossover was sick, but he extended his left leg on his three-ball to draw a foul.
Can we just appreciate how HD the quality of the years are..
"Damn..like a good neighbor Steph's crossover is there" 😂😂😂😂😂
4:39. "Hey it's that boxer guy!"
bro in 2020 , tatum stepped on pauls foot and he didnt had balance anymore
iverson is the king of ankle breakers. also, pay attention to how the game was different in the early 2000s compared to now.
Scary how similar Donovan Mitchell’s and Allen iversons were so similar (ais was in 2008
2006
every hooper knows that ai move by heart and if possible goes for it.
@@cemsen5460 yeah ik
czcams.com/video/6q4rhyDDi5g/video.html
We must accept that Allen iverson is the king of crossover, but prime Drose is still legendary
Hey! The "Franchise" Stevie Francis!🤘🤘
man that that joe johnson cross over pierce was nasty
0:38 Harden almost tore both of Beverley's ACLs with that lol
Joe Johnson is super underrated
That iguadola move was pure gold
love how half of these look like slippery floor action...
Steve "Skip to my Lou" Francis 🔥💯
What if I told you that 14 years later, D Will would be winning pay per view boxing matches?
Man Harden damn near tore Beverly ACL🤣🤣🤣
iverson is definitely the coolest basketball player ever
Before these guys, there was a Kenny Anderson! He was a real deal! Real baller!
Chris Morris to gotta mention. He was a something else.
4:50 Allen Iverson got Antonio Daniels playing twister on the floor
I love when people push players so obviously and still call it an ankle breaker, like bro didn’t jus shove a player with momentum already going to that side 😂
0:20 stepped on foot. 1:37 stepped on foot. 2:05 got foot stepped on. 4:08 stepped on foot. 4:50 stepped on foot. 5:05 stepped on foot.
that Tatum one gets a bonus for how clutch it was
paul george steps on his right foot, this really shouldnt be in this comp
@@STELLAR_QRU and tatum pushed off
The NBA is turning into an AND-1 film
Curry Shook Chris Paul into a Capoeira Fighter🤣
That DWade one is the best, bro sent him sliding about 20 feet
MVP Derrick Rose was an absolute beast. And Iverson has the best handles in nba history no doubt
Kyrie has the best handles but Iverson better player
Kyrie has the best handle in NBA history. Iverson has the best CROSSOVER in NBA history. Not handle overall. Iverson is easily the better player though!
@@GodOfDestructionVegeta27 In my opinion, Iverson's crossovers are smoothers than the kyrie's. Kyrie is faster but Iverson has more flow and agility
@@guillermo8843 iverson also covers more distance on his crossovers.. Kyries handles might be a bit more complex but iversons are more effective covering more ground and shifting
James harden on Murray was dope too
I swear Brandon Knight has been on some crazy highlights, just on the wrong end of it
He’s so great
Paul George went looking for John and Ringo.
Allen Iverson, Derrick rose James harden
For the record - Chris was going down well before he stepped on Steph's foot. Nasty move in tight space. Tough little jumper too. Cash
Wey have to appreciate how Bill Walton laughed...
Name of instrumental at the end? 🎧🎼👀
you could see the guys ankles folding for 2019
From basketball to Bowling: 5:19
After Bowling: 5:41
y'all missed Kemba walker on Mirotic. one of the cleanest crossovers in history, legit 0 contact and made him fall
Im familiar with ankle breaker but that shit AI pulled on Daniels was ankles breaker. Legend has it that both his ankles got destroyed beyond saving by surgery so they amputated both his legs at the knees 😂😂
I still can believe that Iso Joe is still playing in the 2021-2022 season.
Lance Stephenson cross over on Anthony Toliver should be here
Harden 2019 is just so nice with the 3 and 1 plus it’s on Beverly
Man Rockets Harden was something.
I'm glad to see they put Allen Iverson up here for multiple years. He was probably the best handler in NBA history in my opinion. His signature crossover literally forced a rule change
Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry are better handlers than Iverson. Even Iverson said that years ago. He said Curry and Irving are the next level.
@@viniciuscmaia Curry can f off. Lol. I'm an Iverson fan, and Kyrie has the best handles, but Iverson has the best crossover. Iverson is lethal with his crossover cause he's also the quickest player in NBA history so that makes him an insane scorer.
That Harden from ‘19 might not be the best but def the funniest 😂😂
That clippers player just got “clipped” 😂
That was pretty good defense on prime A.I. by Lou. He tripped after the ball was shot. Plus he got the ring.
Patrick beverly looked like a child on that and-one
That Ivo and Spida hella identical
5:33 The Great Wall has collapsed
Rondo is a lot more savage than people give him credit for
Also are we gonna not talk about the fact that Dwayne wade sent that dude to Narnia with that ankle breaker
Tatum legit shoved him lol
1:55 Joe Didn’t Cross Him He Stepped On His Toes
2 clips from 2001, none of 2002 but good video.
