Part One: The Top 7 NBA Crossover Artists Ever

For some strange reason, I really wanted to get a list compiled of the best crossoverdropping NBA players ever.

And, truthfully, I chose 7 because it’s my lucky number!

Now, before I unveil this freaking sick list to you, it is my duty to the Basketball Gods to say that being able to cross up a defender, make the crowd’s jaws drop and garner all the spotlight for yourself is only a small part of the game…gosh, who am I kidding!

Killer crossovers are legit!

Here is your list…

7. Chris Paul – CP3 is dirrrty. An MVP candidate every year, he’s not only a crossover fiend, but the best PG around.

6. Steve Francis – The “Franchise” has been through a lot in his career. Maybe he wasn’t ever a team player, or a winner…I guess I’ll keep that in mind next time a list of the “Top Winners is compiled. But, go back, check out YouTube or something, and go look at Stevie F. back in his heyday with the Rockets…yikes!

5. Deron Williams – Oh man, how under the radar is Deron Williams’ crossover? Maybe it’s because he plays in Utah, I don’t know, but his crossing ability is off the charts…when he goes left to right, it is over!

4. Stephon Marbruy – Yeah, yeah, he’s teetering on the “bum” borderline right now,but “Starbury” has, and always will have an unbelievable crossover..I mean, that thing is lethal.

3. Jamal Crawford – Ahh, my sleeper pick! This former Wolverine has been kicking up ankle-breaking dust forever. You do not want to be on your heels, getting back on D, when you see J.C. pushing the ball on a fast break because he may just make you look silly.

2. Allen Iverson – The man, the myth, the legend. Everyone knows about AI and his cross, from Tokyo to Toronto. This man is a hall-of-famer, an MVP and fear-inducing crossover artist. His stuff is borderline perfect…borderline, because if it was just perfect, he’d be number 1…which leads me to...

1. Tim Hardaway – My oh my oh my. “Timmy Two-Step” was the leader of Run TMC back in the day for the Golden State Warriors and cemented himself back then as the King. They even came up with a name for the atrocities he inflicted on helpless defenders: the “Killer Crossover”. Hardaway’s crossover was simply a thing of beauty, an unbelievable blend of speed, strength, and art that made fans go crazy and elevated the blood pressure of opposing coaches, all at the same time.

From one ball-handler to another, my hat goes off to you, Tim Hardaway. Bravo. (Haha, that was so geeky!)

Part 2: The Legendary Basketball Game That Wasn’t Covered on ESPN…But Should Have Been!

This Game Had People Talking For Weeks! (All 6 Of Us)

When you started reading this, did you think you’d hear about a game I played in
recently in a Adult Men’s League?

Did you think you’ would even want to hear about it as much as you
do now?

Well, my friends, here is what happened, I’ll start with final score:

105-18.

Oh, my bad, that’s a typo. Let me do that again.

105-8.

Were they that bad? Were we that good?

I’d like to think it was us who was that good. I hit 12 three-pointers personally,
and finished with 47 and 10 dimes. One of my teammates had 40+ too.

And you know what the worst part was?

They scored on the first possession of the game, on a bank three-pointer from 30
feet! Oh, what could have been.

Now, I already did the college basketball thing. I loved it, but I was ready to move
on to helping and teaching others.

So, I play in a couple competitive leagues now, like a good gym rat should.

Anyways, the outcome of this game brings up a good point I want to talk about
for a sec…

As competitors, where do we draw the line between being competitive and being
sensitive?

I’m sure you’ve heard people say when you’re in a position to win a game like
105-8, you should ease your foot off the gas and put it in cruise control.

And by easing your gas pedal, they mean:

...not trying hard
...not giving it your all
...not competing

I want to give you some very useful basketball advice now.

Ready? Come closer…

Here it is:

IGNORE THESE PEOPLE.

And more importantly, never not try your hardest and never not compete.

When two basketball teams enter a game, they both already know they already
in for a battle, until the dire end.

Let me give you a scenario where “taking your foot off the gas” would be a bad
decision…and really end up making you pay:

Let’s say you enter the Octagon in a MMA fight with George St. Pierre (at this
point, I wish you well, heh!)

Now, let’s take this from hypothetical to impossible and say you are winning the
fight big-time.

You hit him with wicked combination after wicked combination, the crowd is going
nuts and you are just dominating the battle.

But, at this point, you think,” Cool, I’m rocking GSP’s world. I think I am going
to take his feelings into account here and lay off for a little.”

Good decision…NOT!

Of course you don’t lay off at that point. You finish the battle like a champ.

Same thing in a basketball game. You play hard until the final buzzer rings.

That’s what true competition is all about. How do you think your opponent would
even feel if he/she knew you were taking it easy on him/her? Not good!

Besides, who else wants their own 105-8 story to tell?

Part 3: My Intense Battle With A Professional Superstar!

Now, I am not a big deal.

Sure, I can dribble the basketball pretty darn good now, and I can teach
people to do it even better.

But, there was a time where just full-court “token” pressure scared me.

Imagine that…I’m the team’s point guard, I’m supposed to be the guy who
instills confidence in everyone else, and I am totally supposed to have the
basketball on a string, like a yo-yo!

And, I did kinda have it on a yo-yo…in practice; games were a totally
different story…

So, I’d be in the game, trying to act calm and cool, but inside my stomach
was just churning, knowing that right after this defensive possession they
were going to be pressing us like mad dogs!

Just knowing that they were going to press made me crazy nervous! And I
was the POINT GUARD!!

So, when they would score, we’d inbound the ball to me, and now it’s my turn
to handle the ball against the pressure and make smart decisions and be a
playmaker, and at that point in my life, I just didn’t have it.

Oh man, I do not miss those days!

SO, THAT STORY SHOULD MAKE THIS ONE EVEN COOLER…

Player X will probably be angry about this because I didn’t clear it with him
first …but he’ll have to live with it.

Here’s the deal.

I was at the gym not too long ago, when a mutual friend of mine,
who also happens to be an internationally known, professional
superstar strolled in (we’ll just call him Player X).

X is known everywhere, he has won championships, he’s gone against all
the best players and he is also a point guard/ ball-handling whiz.

So, here he comes, strolling in the gym, with his entourage behind him.

And, of course, he sees me training a couple of my players and starts
running his mouth!

And I’, standing there, thinking to myself, “Come on man! I’m working
here!” (Haha, he’s such a jerk!)

But, instead, my pride takes over and I say something back to him.

So he says something else.

And that’s when I decided to put an end to it…I issued this challenge:

“LET’S PLAY H-O-R-S-E…BUT HANDLE H-O-R-S-E.”

He looked at me like “A-Mar (my totally cool nickname), what the heck
are you talking about?”…so I explained to him how the game went.

“One of us does some move or combination, something sick with the ball,
then the other person has to do it. If they can’t do it, they get a letter, just
like in H-O-R-S-E.”

He smirked and yelled, “Oh, it’s on.”

And we went to work.

I can’t tell you guys how much I wished I had recorded this
thing…because it was a BATTLE…one for the ages.

Blood was spilled, adrenaline was flowing and we were coming up with
dribbling combinations I don’t think anyone has ever seen before. I know
he was doing stuff I hadn’t ever seen.

So, as we neared the end, it was all tied up and we both were one letter
away from losing. It would be a fitting end to such a competition.

It was my turn, and I decided to pull out my old faithful: Stutterstep
-behind the back-behind the back-spin-spin, while sprinting at
full speed.

I nailed it, killed it, did it perfectly.

It was his turn to match.

He broke out into a sprint.

Then, came to a devastatingly quick stop…

Stutter.

Behind the back.

Behind the back.

Spin.

Miss!

Can you say EPIC FAIL? (Oh, I am so dead for this one, hah!)

We showed each other some love, said peace and that was that.

But not quite.

Because before I took off for the day, everybody in that gym, everyone
from X’s crew, all the other people there, they all came up to me and told
me how impressed they were with my skills and my competitiveness…

It made me feel awesome.

Imagine…just a few years back, I was afraid of some token pressure!

Now, I’m straight going at professional superstars in a battle of handles
and straight getting respect.

Part 4: Better Handles in 60 Seconds…All Based On A
Hunch?

Oh man, did I save the best for last.

Nowadays, it seems like everyone is searching for the magic potion, the quick fix.

Me? I guess I’m just more of an old-fashioned type.

I like working, I like sweating, I like grunting, and I “kinda” even love grinding!

At the same time though, I’m no weirdo; if there is something that is going to
make me better in less than a minute, and requires me to do nothing, I’m
probably going to take it.

So, let me ask you a question?

Have you ever gone to the gym, and your handle just didn’t feel right?

You know what I’m talking about.

You get to the gym, you’re with all your friends, you think you’re ready to ball.

But, for whatever reason, it just doesn’t feel right?

WHY IS THAT??

It might be for a lot of reasons.

Maybe you’ve just been playing too much lately (oh yeah, you can actually do
that).

Maybe you didn’t warm up right.

Maybe your head is somewhere else.

But, boy oh boy, have I got a tip for you.

THIS IS THE TYPE OF INSIDER KNOWLEDGE THAT WILL SEPARATE YOU
FROM THE REST OF THE PACK…AND CAN ULTIMATELY MAKE YOU
SUCCESSFUL WHILE OTHERS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE

But, listen. Up until now, everything in the ball-handling world has been status
quo, with everyone satisfied to spew the same stuff over and over.

But, today, the game is changing, all the time.

And, now that you are on the inside, you are at the forefront.

You’re reading this, you’re with me, you’re leading the pack.

So, as leaders, what are we going to do with this type of knowledge?

I say we take action with it and put it to use. I say we help others and spread the
word.

MAN, I AM GETTING CHILLS THINKING ABOUT THE CREWS OF CRAZY
BALL-HANDLERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE SPROUTING SPROUTING UP
EVERYWHERE, REAL SOON!

Ok, anyways, you wanted that awesome tip that so far has worked 100% of the
time, every time, right? 

By the way, this one just came to me one day. I had used something similar for
other reasons, and I was having a less-than-spectacular day at the gym, so I
thought, “What the heck? It’s worth a try.”

What’s funny is it’s worth way more than a “try”; it’s actually probably worth a
good $100. Oh well, no one ever said I was a good businessman!

WHAT YOU DO IS THIS:

When you get to the gym, before you play, get yourself to a sink. Bathrooms are
probably best.

Turn the water on as hot as it goes and let it wash over your hands and wrists for
12 seconds.

The, immediately turn it as cold as it goes and let it wash all over your hands and
wrists again for 8 seconds.

Repeat that two more times.

Then, walk back to the gym, find a basketball, give that bad boy a couple good
bounces and then see how amazing your handles feel.

Reading this now, it probably sounds crazy.

Don’t worry though, so did 105-8, and so did a ball-handling game of h-o-r-s-e.

But I have steered you wrong, yet?

When you fall in love with this little trick, and are just desperate for more, you’ll
thank me (I like chocolates or roses most, thanks! J).

BONUS Part 5: Mini Case-Study: The Only Ball-Handling
Program That Can Confidently Guarantee Better, Faster,
Stronger, More Effective Handles (and you can only get
your handles on it for one, 7-day period, EVER?)

So everyone already knows what the fabled and legendary The Effective Ball-

Handling Program is all about…

…guaranteed quicker and stronger handles just by following the program, stepby-step, the no B.S. workouts, the confidence, the effectiveness, the efficiency, the potency, all that good stuff.

I mean, that’s not nearly all, and frankly, this newsletter isn’t meant to be a sales
pitch at all (heck, you can barely get your hands on it, how is someone going to
sell it?).

That really wouldn’t even be necessary because when it was available, it sold
like the cure-all for ball-handling that it is.

Anyways, here’s the crazy news I saved for the end to drop on you:

It is coming back. For 7 days.

After that, it’s gone. Probably forever.

Why?

Simply because it is so potent, I don’t want just anyone to get their hands on
it.

I don’t want the people who will get it and then do nothing with it, to own it.

I don’t want the people who don’t take their game seriously to get their hands on
it either.

I only want the dreamers, the workers and the playmakers to get their
hands on it.

I just figured (I hope it actually works) that if I limited it to 7 days, that would be
enough to make sure only real ballers got their hands on this mythical
program.

If you’re interested in making sure you don’t miss out on those 7 days of
availability, I strongly urge you to get on my Priority Notification list immediately.

Doing so won’t obligate you to buy it, but it will get you ADVANCE notice of the
day The Effective Ball-Handling is finally available again…therefore increasing
your chances of actually getting it.              

Plus, I am also giving away the exact ball-handling program I used when I
started my dribbling journey, but only when you sign up for the Priority
Notification list.

When that list is available, we shall see…I guess you’ll just have to keep
your “ear to the ground”…

Wishing you awesome success,
