Tips & Warnings
The crossover dribble is easier to pull off if you really act as if you're going to drive in the initial direction you're headed.
The faster you can go through these steps, the harder it is for the defender to keep up.
When all else fails, watch Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers. He probably has the best crossover move in the NBA.
