GSW’s Barbosa’s one-man fast break makes Stephen Curry salsa dance

The Warriors’ Leandro Barbosa reminded the NBA he still has the speed to break down defenses and be a one-man wrecking crew on the fastbreak against the Suns. While going coast-to-coast, Barbosa made Phoenix players look like cones as he knifed his way to the rim for the “and 1.” However, as if that tasty […]

Rockets’ Jones welcomes Carl Landry to his block party

Houston’s Terrence Jones recently threw a block party, but only one person was on the invite list and on the V.I.P. list… the Kings’ Carl Landry. But this was the kind of block party Carl probably wish he didn’t attend. In one defensive sequence (let me repeat in one sequence) Jones blocked Landry’s shot attempts […]

What kind of defense is Klay Thompson playing?

Hmmmm. Yeah, does the Warriors’ Klay Thompson know how to play defense? Against the Clippers, Klay was kind of stuck between a couple of L.A. players and apparently didn’t know what to do on defense. So like any other player, he just kind of scampered around the court, arms wide open just looking like he […]

TNT’s Kevin Harlan does his best Bane impression

Time to nerd it up here on Crossover. During last night’s Spurs-Heat tussle, big man Aron Baynes blocked a Dwayne Wade shot with authority leading to TNT’s TV announcer Kevin Harlan doing his best “Bane” impression. You know Bane! The DC character made famous by actor Tom Hardy in “The Dark Knight Rises” with his […]

This is the worst photo Thunder fans don’t want to see

Well this pretty much sums up OKC’s season. Thunder’s Kevin Durant is done for the season after having surgery on his foot, which means the chances of OKC having a deep postseason run (or even making the postseason) is slim. So to add more salt on the wound of OKC fans, here is an Instagram […]

Atlanta’s Korver was En Fuego

How did he not win the 2015 NBA Three-Point Shootout? The Hawks’ Kyle Korver put on a shooting display from deep versus the Bucks as he nailed four three-pointers in a row. That’s an instant 12 points in a row for the Hawks. Whether it was from straight on, from the corners, or with a […]

Andrew Wiggins really likes to posterize Utah’s Gobert

So Utah’s Rudy Gobert ego might be in shambles right now courtesy of Wolves’ Andrew Wiggins. As if getting posterized once was bad enough, Gobert got smashed on twice by Wiggins in the same game and the last dunk was simply filthy. Check out the big man getting abused by Wiggins.  

LOS ANGELES, CA – JANUARY 26: Matt Barnes #22 and Blake Griffin #32 of the Los Angeles Clippers celebrate during the fourth quarter against the Denver Nuggets at Staples Center on January 26, 2015 in Los Angeles, California.

Blake Griffin with the 180 degree… block?

Clippers’ Blake Griffin is know for dunking the ball and even breaking out the 180 degree block from time to time. But how about a 180 degree block from Blake! Well Griffin did just that versus Boston’s Jonas Jerebko as he was going up for a layup and though he was in the clear for an […]

Sauce Castillo’s legend grows with dunk over Ajinca

The Kings’ Sauce Castillo’s (formerly known as Nik Stauskas) legend grew ten-fold against the Pelicans as Sauce dipped the Pelicans’ Alexis Ajinça into some of his dunk sauce that sent a message to the rest of the NBA’s big men… YOU DON’T MESS WITH SAUCE! Check out Sauce dropping the hammer on Ajinca.

OKC’s Adams gets balled in the balls

As if getting shoved aside and falling on the court wasn’t bad enough, OKC’s Steven Adams received some injury on top of insult. Utah’s Rodney Hood was en route to the rim when Adams tried to defend him. Of course, Hood beats him off the dribble, makes contact with Adams, and falls right to the […]

Chris Paul puts on a dribbling clinic against 76ers

The Clippers’ Chris Paul is really good with the basketball. Paul and L.A. visited the lowly Sixers and CP3 decided he’d show the fans in the stands what dribbling is all about when he sliced up the Sixers’ defense and even did some trickery with the ball. Seriously, how did he do that last move […]

Blake Griffin does a great Austin Rivers impersonation

I guess being the head coach’s son doesn’t protect you from being the target of Blake Griffin. During a recent Clippers practice, Griffin was caught on film making fun of Austin Rivers, the son of head coach Doc Rivers. Griffin pulled out all the stops including the head jerking, Rivers’ dribbling style and even Austin’s […]

Mourning confirms Mutombo ‘Who wants to sex Mutombo’ story

Former NBA big man Dikembe Mutombo was a great shot-blocker and one hell of a pick up artist with his legendary pick-up line, “Who wants to sex Mutombo?” But is it true? Is it mere rumor or is it actually truth? His former teammate, Alonzo Mourning, came clean about that legendary line and confirmed is […]

Mozgov stars in epic TV commercial

What do you get when you combine low-budget graphics, the Cavs’ Timofey Movgov wearing a backwards Cavs jersey, and Timofey looking away from the TV camera? This! Why do I want more of these TV spots featuring Mozgov? Oh yeah, because they are epic!

DeRozan forgot Bulls’ Noah doesn’t play for Toronto

Hey DeMar, that guys, he’s not on your team. Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan found himself trapped defensively by two Bulls defenders. So what will he ever do? Obviously he needs to find an open RAPTORS TEAMMATE for himself, so who did he find? Oh just the Bulls’ Joakim Noah on the sidelines, in his shooting shirt, […]
