killer crossover

Devastating court move

A killer crossover is a basketball move where the ball handler quickly switches the ball from one hand to the other, changing direction to shake a defender.

The move is "killer" when executed so sharply that it freezes or drops the defender: He broke his ankles with a killer crossover.

The term extends to any devastating crossover dribble that creates separation for a shot or drive.
