Though it may not be considered a part of the Iverson Crossover itself, Iverson would also oftentimes set up the move by making multiple fakes to stall the defender before attacking with the crossover - like going between the legs or behind the back to see if he could get the defender leaning. 12 year old twins Josh and Jordan Bell are lightning on a basketball court. This added some style, and also some extra hesitation, which often froze defenders and made it impossible to guard his then quick and low crossover dribble.
While any standard crossover move relies on getting the defender going in one direction and then crossing back the other way, Iverson would often take a larger, over-emphasized step and bring the ball out wider to tempt the defender. The narrator is Josh Bell, one of the teenage basketball crazy twins who play for the Wildcats, a Junior High School team. Most famously when he used the move on Michael Jordan in 1997 and then stuck a jumper in his face. The flashy Hall of Fame guard perfected his crossover by putting extra emphasis on the set up, which led to embarrassment for many defenders. Though Josh seldom adds more explanation to these rules, he implies at points that they come from Dad. No matter what happens, a person needs to always leave their heart in the court. Countless players have executed the crossover dribble effectively throughout the history of basketball, but perhaps none better than Allen Iverson.
