The NFL has been mocked for years as the “No Fun League” because of Commissioner Roger Goodell’s clamp down on celebrations and other various shenanigans that would be both entertaining for the fans and enjoyable for the players. Now the NBA seems to be adapting the same outlook. The league is now limiting post-introduction celebrations, […]

Gerald Green has moved around a lot during his professional career. He entered the league in 2005, one of the last players to come straight out of high school, and he is now with his sixth NBA team, not to mention the two years he spent overseas. Green’s most notable accomplishment was winning the Slam […]

Under the rules of the new CBA, rookie scale contract extensions are going to become a lot more rare. They are going to be reserved for only the players most valued by their teams because it has now become such a big financial commitment. The players drafted in 2009 have until October 31 to sign extensions […]

Tristan Thompson’s first season in the NBA was overshadowed by Kyrie Irving. That is what happens when you play with the rookie of the year, but as a fellow top-5 pick, Thompson is obviously expected to contribute as well. Most rookie seasons are full of inconsistency and Thompson was no exception, but it is pretty […]

JaVale McGee, affectionately dubbed by the Crossover Chronicle writers as “JaVale the Fail Whale,” has moved away from the circus act that is the Washington Wizards. Last season he was traded to the Denver Nuggets for a chance to reinvent himself as a player and move past his series of hilariously epic failures (definitely watch […]

It is the end of an era. After 15 seasons, Tracy McGrady is ready to move on from the NBA and take his talents overseas. McGrady has agreed to a one-year deal to play in China with the Qingdao Eagles. McGrady will surely have a few fans over there already because of his superstar status […]

Derrick Williams’ first year in the NBA was marked with inconsistency. The rookie out of Arizona appeared in every game last season for the Minnesota Timberwolves, but if you made a graph of the minutes he played, it would look like a mountain range. Williams had some brilliant performances, including a 27-point game against the […]

If we were to have an NBA Strongman competition, it is probably safe to say that Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant would finish near the bottom. The three-time reigning NBA scoring champ has been criticized his whole career for his lanky arms and lack of strength. Obviously, Durant makes up for it in other […]

Andray Blatche’s history of poor decisions is well documented. During his seven-year NBA career, he has come off as more focused on strippers and breaking the law than improving his game. For a guy that came into the league with a ton of talent and promise, he has to go down as one of the […]

Joe Johnson is about to step into a whole new world. He has left Atlanta for the bright lights of Brooklyn. He is part of a huge movement by a franchise that has been stuck in the cellar for a long time. Now they have a new place to play, a new look to the […]

The Washington Wizards are having to bounce back after some tough personnel calls that left them dealing with the immaturity of guys like Andray Blatche and JaVale McGee. They have moved past those guys now though, and could be a team on the rise with a lot of young talent, and some solid veterans as […]

The Brooklyn Nets clearly want everything to be new and flashy as they make their debut under the bright lights of the Big Apple, and that includes the entertainment. The Nets’ dancers, the “Brooklynettes,” unveiled their new uniforms for the upcoming season, and they are definitely going to make a splash. “This isn’t palm trees […]

As a former Phoenix Suns fans, I feel qualified to write a post on the end of an era. I say “former” because only a few years ago they were my favorite team. I loved watching the Steve Nash to Amar’e Stoudemire pick and roll. The rest of the NBA saw Raja Bell as a […]

It would be hard to find a Los Angeles Laker fan who is not claiming the 2013 NBA title before the season even starts. There is no denying that adding Dwight Howard and Steve Nash to the team make them an immensely better team, but just how good? One of the greatest Lakers of all […]

When Mikhail Prokhorov bought the Brooklyn (formerly New Jersey) Nets back in 2010, he promised an NBA Championship within five years. It is two years later and during that time the Nets went 46-102, not coming anywhere near the playoffs. However, after keeping Deron Williams and Brook Lopez and adding Joe Johnson this offseason, the […]
