10 greatest signature moves in NBA history

#6 Allen Iverson's Crossover

Pound for pound, the greatest scorer in NBA history. His scoring average of 26.7 PPG ranks 6th all-time which is crazy for a guy who's just about 6 feet tall. What Iverson had going for him were his quickness and ball-handling abilities. He had plenty of offensive moves in his arsenal, like the stepback fadeaway but he is remembered for those amazing crossovers.

Iverson often used what's called the double crossover. It starts off like a normal crossover, but instead of for example faking left and then going right, he'd instead switch it back to his left at the end of the move, thereby leaving the defender completely flat-footed. If the NBA kept some statistic regarding ankle breakers Iverson might well be at the top of the list. The unfortunate part for defenders was that they knew it was coming but they couldn't do a thing about it.

Before we move on though, a shout out to Tim Hardaway, whose Killer Crossover didn't make the list. Tim was the original crossover specialist in the league. Like Hardaway is credited with making the Killer Crossover popular in the NBA, Iverson is credited with popularising the Double Crossover.
