current players only..
i know ‘handles’ can be perceived and defined differently, but i’m just curious who comes to mind?

It has to be Kyrie but CO3 and Jamal Crawford are not far behind.

But I’m a warriors fan so officially my answer is Stephen Curry

Kyrie arguably has the best handles of all time. I’ve never seen anyone come close to his level.
The way Steph is on another planet shooting from distance, Kyrie is the same way with handles.

James Harden
Kyrie. No contest.
This. It’s Kyrie and it’s not close. Best handles in NBA history.

Steph’s handles are on point... he’s underrated.

Kyrie, Steph. Kyrie has such amazing speed and control. Steph always kind of looks like he's about to lose control, but never actually does.

Kyrie unfortunately. Not mentioned here but still very good IMO are Conley and fox.

Kyrie unfortunately.
Dribbling circles around people is cute but Harden uses way less effort and gets the same result.

I dislike him but it's definitely Kyrie. I think he's top 3 all time, maybe even #2 with Ai at 1.

Just to echo the above - despite my love/hate relationship with Kyrie as a Clevelander, he's #1 by a mile. I'm assuming those saying Trae started watching basketball last year?

I think it's Kyrie. Not sure how to explain this the right way but it's not just his handle when the defender is in front of him. His ability to make moves on the fly is unreal. He's always completely in control and his finishes are crazy too. There's other guys that are also incredible, but to me Kyrie is the best.

He needs to bounce back hard next season

In NBA history:
1) God Shammgod ainec
.....
2) Kyrie, who I don't like.
3) Iverson
I think there was a poll of players asking this very question and Shammgod got like 60% of the vote.
But for anyone with a 'real' NBA career it's Kyrie.

Obviously kyrie. Jamal Crawford has some crazy handles but Kyrie has the beat handles in NBA history imo

After I finally started getting to watch Kyrie everyday on the Nets, it's Kyrie. He can get anywhere on the floor he wants and a decent shot up anytime he wants with his handle

Right now....TRAE YOUNG

Kyrie for flash that leads to nowhere and nothing, CP3 for getting it done through control

Yeah, I've watched him sit on the bench a lot injured, when he bothered to show up at all. I've watched him whine and say weird stuff. Killed a couple of teams and soon will wreck KD. He dribbles good. I'd still take 30 players in today's game over him. He'll be a footnote in basketball history. That one-shot guy that rode Lebron to a ring.
Guys like Luka and CP3 have ball control that makes a team better. Like Oscar Robertson and Bob Cousy and Magic Johnson did. If "handles" is measured like Harlem Globetrotters entertainment, yeah, give it to your boi. But I've never watched basketball, so I don't know.

I'd like to see your thoughts on Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis lol.

Literally none of that answers the OPs question :doh::doh:
Sounds like you're just a Kyrie hater :cry:
