Deron Williams has not played very good basketball for the majority of his Brooklyn Nets’ first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks. In Games 2 and 3, Williams combined for just five points.
However, Williams bounced back in a big way to start Game 4. The Nets point guard poured in 13 points in the game’s first-half.
Two of those points were made possible from a ridiculous crossover Williams put on DeMarre Carroll with just over seven minutes left in the second quarter.
Take a look at Williams’ sick move below:

Yeah, that’s pretty nasty.
It’s hard not to think back to the days when Williams was viewed as one of the top point guards in the NBA after watching a play like that.
The Nets will certainly need more plays like this one from Williams if they want to even their series with the Hawks at two games apiece.
Williams averaged 13.0 points (38.7 percent shooting from the field, 36.7 percent shooting from beyond the arc), 6.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game in the regular season.
