Allen Iverson Crossover Mix Volume 5 - Signature AI Pt. 2 - "Classic Crossover" (some rare clips!) Video Clips. Duration : 7.23 Mins.
5th and final volume in AI video series highlighting Iverson's crossover and other best moves. This is AI's bread and butter and most famous move. Learned from a walk-on teammate (who AI admits did it way better than him) when he was still in Georgetown, Iverson's crossover quickly became a staple of his early career.

And like seemingly everything surrounding Allen, his crossover became popular and controversial. Everyone from announcers to the millions of basketball fans started to identify the move with Iverson's game, but coaches complained and refs started calling it a palming violation. Year after year AI started to use it less and less as if it was so devastating the league had to ban it. Although it became rare for him to use, I think the fact that he used the crossover so sparingly made it even more memorable and amazing when he did. More and more players came into league utilizing the crossover like Steve Francis, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford and almost every guard nowadays has some variation of it in their arsenal. Of course AI, while not the inventor of the crossover, certainly had a huge influence in making the crossover and anklebreaking a popular part of the game today. And the crossover is ...

And yet, just as Jordan has done throughout his career, he is the best group effort ruined the Knicks, won a remarkable collection of 44 points as the Bulls, 90-89. "I thought we had tremendous effort," Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy said. "We were beaten by a championship-caliber team, probably the greatest player of all time. We had our chances." The victory was not assured until Chris Childs missed a 3-pointer just before the buzzer as the Knicksrefused to call a timeout to play a final. "I would have gone inside, but I do not think I would get the call," said Childs. "I thought I took the shot was good. It does not just go to this time."

The first game in the new year between Milwaukee (14-15) and Chicago (2-10) was one of those "fun games" with a lot of mass-pleasing moments. Michael Jordan and Glenn "Big Dawg" Robinson was on fire for the whole game, both scored 44 points apiece (Jordan 15-22, 18-30 Robinson plays from the field) and made a lot of great. Jordan was particularly phenomenal. He brought his game vintage - fadeaways, alley-oops, reverse layups, coast to coast plays - you name it. He had the fans on their feetAll game long with his spectacular play, just a month before his 35th Birthday. His teammates were also great, especially Longley and Rodman. Luc had almost had a triple double (24 points, 9 RBS, 8 AST) Rodman during the show in the final minutes. Not with his rebound or defend, even though he had 21 rebounds in this game. "The Menace" went on the 3-pointer crazy. "Taco-Dennis met" a couple threes, rolled the score up to 114 to 100 and so did the cheering crowd a round of free tacos.
