Contest: Win a Meister x B. Jennings Watch

Our friends at Meister Watches recently teamed with Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks to make this fresh black/Bucks themed version of Meister’s Prodigy series. They sent one to SLAM to give away to a lucky reader. Since Jennings is one of the fastest cats in the league and has been known to break ankles here and there, tell us your favorite ankle breaking moment in the comments section below. Our editors in the SLAM Dome will deliberate tirelessly in picking the winner next Tuesday. For more details on the watch, click here.

*UPDATE: Congrats to burnt_chicken for winning this fly watch!

    My favorite jennings crossover has to come from his days in high school. Back then he was just SO much faster and talented than everyone that he good just do anything he wanted and left defenders just dumbfounded. There are too many memorable ones to just pick one. Suffice it to say no high school players had a chance at stopping him when he decided he wanted to break their ankles. Look at any high school highlight tape of his and you’ll be sure to see him cross some helpless defender to the pavement, spin off a man and fly by, or just straight confuse someone with a behind the back or between the legs dribble that leaves them motionless. Jennings has had some memorable ones in the L but his best ones came during high school, particularly in the all star games like the Elite 24 game at Rucker, or the Jordan classic.

    My favorite Brandon Jennings crossover was when he was getting scouted by Carolina coming out of High School and he broke off 3 guys at mid court. It was nice and I got to see live because I live near Chapel Hill and was there. It also got on youtube because some guy near me recorded it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aRp9bcPxoc&feature=related

    One of favorites would have to be when AI crossed Nash back in ’96 when they were both rookies. AI pulls his patent crossover and gets steve nash to bite and jump to the other side. Iverson takes another dribble and pulls up for a J that goes right through the nylon. It’s one of my favorites because it was a prelude of a great rivalry between two great players that has been so exciting and flashy over the years. These two players have gave us numerous amount of highlight reel plays and ‘Whoa!’ moments, and just two know this was the first of many, it kind of makes it iconic in a way.

    Twas the moment before Tip-Off, when all through the house not a clock was ticking not even a Meist. The nets were hung on the rim with care, In hopes that B-Jennings soon would be there.
    The spectators were nestled all snug in their seats, while visions of Cross-overs danced in their head almost like beats.
    When out on the court there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my seat to see what was the matter. Away down the court the Yung Buck flew, leaving his opponent not knowing what to do. With a quick jerk and spree, Jennings left the defender with a broken knee.
    He spoke not a word, but went straight to work, and filled all the rims with buckets, then turned with a jerk.
    With Jennings hands in the air, as he walks out of sight. I heard him exclaim “Happy Crossmas to all, and to all a good night!”

    Yeah, Iverson on Mike was nice because of who they were, but the crossover that really sticks in my mind happened on my unprofessional ankles, courtesy of a guy I had CLEARLY underestimated.
    I was on a roll, destroying my check on offense, feeling good and got a bit fancy with the ball handling as we all do sometimes…
    Then out of absolutely nowhere, the guy (a portly spot-up shooter, who must’ve taken all of 10 dribbles the entire game), breaks out this deceptively quick crossover that DROPS me.
    Yes, it was embarrassing and yes, I guess I deserved it haha

    My favourite ankle breaker would have to be Allen Iverson on Tyronne Lue in the 2001 NBA Finals. It’s just the way that he stepped over him with no respect. It wasn;t that he showed lack of respect to Lue, it’s that he showed lack of respect to the Lakers. It was his way of telling everyone that he doesn’t care who he’s playing or what there history is, he is just gonna go out there and play as the underdog and show no respect to the big boys of the NBA.

    My favorite ankle breaker was when Allen Iverson crossed over Kobe 2 times and kobe fell like hard.

  • Adam Wyville

    How about when Rajon Rondo crossed up Morris Peterson until he fell, then drained a three right above him! Classic!

  • Rakim Watson

    Im sure what every1 says is great but HANDS DOWN, the best crossover has to be the one where Jamal Crawford made Ray Allen fall. He hit him with the 3-piece move, (crossover,through legs, and behind back) right by the benches, and Ray Allen just FELL!! Ray Allen is the man and all but I know it was shocking when that game was live. Shoutout to my fave player Jamal Crawford!(by the way)

  • vA

    MJ (Wizzards) sets up the pick, drives hard right, steps back for the jumper and Vince Carter goes down.

  • Stefan

    This is one of my favorites. Tony Parker vs. Barbosa. Awesome!

    One of my favourite anklebreaker/crossover was by Chris Paul in the 07-08 season against Denver. It was amazing to watch as Chris Paul broke down the Denver defense. It’s not a really famous one, but it was a good and effective one.

    One of my fav ankle breakers, was recently when d-rose pulled a sweet crossover on tyreke who even did a little spin while falling!!!

    My fav ankle breaking movement hands down is D.Wade on O.J. Mayo it was 2 seasons ago. D.Wade drove in hard and quickly stepped back and O.J. stuttered backwards and dropped. He dropped so bad he took down his own teammate Greg Buckner. D.Wade stops looks at O.J. on the floor and makes the mid range J. Classic Wade.

  • FROGGA

    Stephon Marbury crossing over Yao and sending him crashing to the floor in his debut season… he didn’t just break his ankles, he broke every joint in his body with that move.

  • mario boatwright

    The Brandon Jennings crossover on stephen curry was the best ankle break since iverson took jordan off the dribble a decade ago taking over supreme crossover status Jennings easily is the next true point guard to reach elite status and this crossover seals that fate.

  • Ahmed

    I thought you’d never ask! Derrick Rose on Andre Miller while he was playing for the Sixers. It was towards the end of the 2nd Q, D.Rose broke Andre off quick. He faked right,crossed over, and went up for the lay up. Andre Miller looked like Bambi on ice. He watched D.Rose go up for the lay up sitting crossed legged at the dotted line. Although D.Rose got blocked by Dalembert, it was still up there as one of the nastiest ankle breakers I seen.

  • Andre

    Best crossover is Dwyane Wade on Eric Snow in 04 when Snow was on the Cavaliers. As Wade went right he did the infamous Jordan under the legs, make your man look like he’s on ice skates, stop on a dime crossover and brought the ball left. Eric Snow’s ankles were broken as he went from the three point line all the way to the free throw line. If you watch it D. Wade did not push with his left arm if he did his arm would be traveling towards Snow but you see his arm on the left side of his body as he quickly brings the ball back left. D. Wade even had time to look at E. Snow before driving to the rim Wade single handedly stop play for that brief few seconds as all looked with awe. Eric Snow should have just retired then.

    So the most sick crossup of all time is Ray-Ray Felton on “hoe”Jose Calderon”What is Caler- wrong with you”. He hit a in-out-in-out game winner. That is when you can be compared to a Cough,Cough A.I.

    jennings breaking stephen curry’s ankles was phenomenal. It actuly looked like he came out his shoes.THen he drove into the paint missed the floater but got his own rebound and got fouled and went to the foul line to shoot two free throws which i know he made. Stephen curry will remeber that for the rest of his life
