Hedge our screen on Twitter @CrossoverNBA As much as a long intro to the column would be reader-friendly and what not, the heck with it, and let’s just get to the main course, shall we? 5. New York Knicks: I get it. You’ve clicked “off” of this column at this point. But I commend the […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA Often, we ask people who are famous to do stuff there’s no chance in hell we’d be able to do in the same situation. I always say about the Malice at the Palace to those who criticized Ron Artest for going into the stands: “I’ll come chuck a beer […]

Find us on Twitter @CrossoverNBA The NBA does a good job with free agency. In fact, the NBA has done a good job with off-season stuff being captivating enough to be the only other league aside from the NFL that gets any really notable run for any of its events nationally when not in-season. In […]

Follow us on Twitter @CrossoverNBA We all knew a few of them growing up. Odds are, you know a few of them now too. They’re the folks that crave some sort of drama, controversy, and say things like, “I try to avoid it, but it finds me.” It’s a mildly rough way to live, it’d […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA The 2015 NBA free agent pool was a little polluted or at worst, someone tinkled in the deep end and didn’t tell anyone. If it was missing one thing in particular, it was a host of “go get it” guys. The Indiana Pacers may have just scored the best […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA I was one of them. Probably one of you, which, I apologize even lumping you into such a group. It was after The Decision, and the end of the NBA was nigh. Sure, in the short term, the league would win … because the Miami Heat were now some […]

Tip us in on Twitter @CrossoverNBA Someone buy David West’s agent a round. He might need it here sometime before the end of the night. In a move that mostly went under the radar amidst more entertaining stuff like “WHO WILL MY TEAM DRAFT!?!?”, West opted out of his final contract year with the Indiana […]
This guy is one of the foremost reasons why it’s hard to be too critical of David Blatt’s work as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA “People that dry-hump stats to make a point probably prefer reading sheet music to hearing the song.” – Aqib Talib. If you’re the sheet music type, you probably didn’t care much for Matthew Dellavedova’s impact last night. The legendary Delly was a pretty crusty looking 3 of 10 from […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA I remember where I was the first time I realized I was a big fan of Matthew Dellavedova and his basketball skills. As for most of us Delly Dudes, it intersects at the roads of “the first time you saw him play” and “being a West Coast Conference junkie […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA Have you ever been a part of a panel job interview? And I’m not talking about being the sweating dude with a bunch of resumes on the other side of the desk. I’m talking about being the one asking the questions. Sometime after all of the candidates have been […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA If there were a list of the five most absurd sporting events, the NBA Draft Lottery would need to be up there. Players in suits, lately, people that have zero to do with the decision making process as representatives of teams, and no longer is it reserved for halftime […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA Chalk another one up to the stink of desperation. Desperation in all forms of life is an un-manufacturable (fake arse word) thing. It’s the fight or flight situation in real life, or in the case of sports, the thing that makes you play like your very soul is on […]

Hit up Crossover Chronicles on Twitter @CrossoverNBA Let’s do a public service and get all of the over-reaction points from Cavs-Bulls Game One out of the way before we get into the grown folks talk … 1. The Cavs can’t win without Kevin Love. 2. Lebron choked down the stretch 3. Jimmy Butler is the […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA People discount locker room chemistry, or at least the power of non-terrible locker room chemistry. You don’t need to like, be friends with, or align with everyone in a locker room … but when one guy is the lynchpin for bringing down the whole joint, it becomes fatal. Obviously, […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA As with anything, like searching for Bigfoot, summonsing the undead, walking through Wal-Mart at 11 p.m. on a Saturday, or post season sports, you never really know what you’re going to get until you get in there and start to see it form. That said, while the NBA for […]
