Jamal Crawford is widely regarded as the NBA’s most creative ball handler, and rightfully so. His game is built upon the foundation of his one-on-one moves, many of which are entirely his own. Crawford has one signature move in particular — the “Shake ‘N Bake” — that is completely unprecedented as far as uniquity and degree of difficulty. What it is is basically a behind-the-back crossover dribble countered by a jumpstop/wrap-around move, but it really has to be seen (multiple times, in slow motion) to understood. Here are a few examples…
So… how exactly does an unbelievable move like this come to be? By accident, apparently.
