Duke Basketball: Kyrie Irving’s style epitomizes former NBA Hall of Famer

NBA legend and Hall of Fame guard Allen Iverson epitomized the crossover.

That’s not a fictitious statement. It’s a reason why everyone classified him as “The Answer”.

Iverson’s pervasive nickname was known across the country; he even put Michael Jordan on a crossover portrait. A kodak moment everyone remembers.

But Iverson wasn’t the only point guard, who had kodak moments of breaking ankles.

Truthfully, the crossover extends back much farther than Iverson. I’m speaking in reference to former NBA legend and point guard Tim Hardaway. Hardaway was a crossover “messiah”, during his career with Golden State, Miami, Dallas, Denver, and Indiana.
