Who was the best ball handler as a Point guard for Kentucky.
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
Agreed. In my lifetime, I can't think of anyone better than Ulis. It was like the ball was an extension of his body.
What a surprise: another @smooth as butter thread. But, yeah, it's Ulis. JMO.
I will go old school and say Larry Johnson, Macy was pretty good as well.
Ulis from what Ive seen. Dude has all the dribble techiniques you ever need
I always liked watching Ed Davender handle the ball. Probably the New York thing. Dicky Beal was pretty smooth too.
Wayne Turner comes to mind.
I'm not sure we've ever had a guy who I would point to as an all-time great ballhandler. Maybe some of the older guys could chime in.

Larry Johnson was very good as was Beal. The athletes of today are just at another level than they were even 20 years ago,so we are talking apples and oranges in the days of Johnson.
How can you all forget the best ball handiler we've ever had?
He wasn't in Ulis' league as a handler, but do any of you older fans remember Sam Bowie bringing the ball up the floor during a full court press?
Roger Harden had great handles to throw out an older guy.
Love me some Cliff Hawkins but Ulis was better, IMO.
I am not sure, Johnson was not an offensive juggernaut but I watched him play and for at the time a large point guard was about as good a ball handler as I have ever seen. I really don't see that much difference when it comes to handling the ball. You can be fast but not a great ball handler, I played with a guy in high school that was a wiz with a ball. You could put him out on the court with 5 other guys and they could not take the ball from him without fouling.
Michael was a solid point guard for Kentucky. Tubby held him back from being a star..
He should have been held back from some other things.
The 3 pointer has changed college ball so I will go pre-3 and current. Kyle Macy pre and Ulis current

Rondo is on another level and it's largely because of his freakish sized arms and hands. He can do things with the ball Ullis can't. LIke his patented behind the entrie back dribble where he doesn't change direction, just goes behind the back and continues all the way to the front completely f's with your mind. His fake behind the back passes are stupid. He can just do so many things, and his creativity/vision helps with that too.
We're talking best handles....not best players or best athletes. Rondo is a better player in some regards but did not & does not have better handles.
Seriously...does this ever end? It's like he's going for a record for number of threads started and number of replies. Of course his topics are designed to get a lot of activity...nothing wrong with that. But how many different questions like this are we going to get?
