Whose crossover does Kemba Walker want? Kyrie Irving's, of course

Share

Kemba Walker has one the NBA's most lethal crossovers. But there's a certain Boston Celtics point guard who's unparalleled in that category.

Walker was asked an interesting hypothetical Saturday at NBA All-Star Weekend in Charlotte: If you could take one skill each from any NBA player, whose skills would you choose?

Kemba's answer for a crossover: Kyrie Irving.

The Hornets guard then said he'd take Stephen Curry's jump shot and Nikola Jokic's passing ability.

"That'd be a good combination right there," Walker said.

That's an understatement.

Both Walker and Irving have dropped their fair share of defenders with killer crossovers, but even Kemba knows Kyrie's handles are in a league of their own.

The two talented guards are starting on opposite teams in the 2019 NBA All-Star Game, and Irving may be out for some revenge after Walker dropped 43 points on the Celtics in a November win. Better tighten up those ankle braces.
