Why Dragic? Why? Why you gotta make Bulls big man Taj Gibson look silly? The Suns’ Goran Dragic found himself being defended by Gibson and decided to show Taj a thing or two about trying to defend a player with sick basketball handles. Check out Goran putting Gibson on skates with some sick moves.

He may not be in the 2015 NBA All-Star Dunk Contest, but the Kings’ Rudy Gay showed off some impressive hops versus the Cavs. While on the break, Gay got the ball in transition and decided to defy gravity with a dunk that had him spinning and twisting in midair. Hmmmm. Is it too late […]

TNT’s great NBA announcer Kevin Harlan was doing his thing, announcing the game as only he can with that recognizable voice as the Lakers faced off against the Bulls. During the game, a ball went flying out of bounds and it smacked Harlan right in the face. Hey Brent Barry! You owe him one dude. […]

The Western Conference All-Star reserves were announced this week and Damian Lillard was not featured on that list. It was almost certain Lillard would be replacing the spot of injured Kobe Bryant, but once again Lillard and the rest of the NBA world was surprised when DeMarcus Cousins got the nod to take the roll. […]

So how awesome was Denver’s Kenneth Faried’s monster dunk? Not only did it get fans in New Orleans to react loudly, it also caused the Denver TV announcer to break wind on live TV. No, I am not kidding. Don’t believe me? Take a listen! You might want to check your underpants, sir.

The All-Star reserves, as chosen by the coaches, were supposed to be announced on TNT Thursday night, but of course Adrian Wojnarowski and others couldn’t let it go down that way. They just had to break the news because they’re too good to wait. Either way, we know who will be in New York for […]

Less than a week ago, LaMarcus Aldridge announced he was having surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb. This would have meant the soon-to-be All-Star forward would miss somewhere between 6 to 8 weeks — or about 24 games — something that could have dropped Portland way down in the standings and […]

Just in time for the Super Bowl. In case you been living under a rock, there’s been much to do about the accusation that the Patriots were deflating footballs in their conference game versus the Seahawks. Well it didn’t take too long for the Bucks’ mascot – Bango – to poke fun at the whole […]

Well so much for team chemistry. D-League’s Iowa Energy teammates Jarnell Stokes and Kalin Lucas got into a scrap during the team’s game versus the Vipers. It escalated so fast they had to be separated and ultimately were tossed from the game. Come on fellas! This doesn’t help at all when it comes to trying to make […]

It must be “Big Baby” week here at Crossover because the Clippers’ Glen Davis is back at it with some more randomness. Look, they don’t call Davis “Big Baby” for nothing. I mean just look at how huge he is. Well it seems he couldn’t get food out of his mind because according to teammate […]

It seems someone has to go back to basketball fundamentals 101. OKC’s Dion Waiters was on the fastbreak, with no one to stop him from scoring an easy bucket, when he suddenly has a brain-fart and forgets what dribbling the ball is all about. To make matters worse, he blows the layup too!

The Golden State Warriors are innovators not only when it comes to their offense, but also when it comes to what they’re wearing. The team announced that they will don a new kind of jersey to celebrate the Chinese New Year in February.

Lakers shooting guard Nick Young can definitely stuff the stat sheet with offensive numbers to make your eyes pop, but defensively, well… let’s just say he may not know the meaning of the word “defense.” Against the Rockets, Young apparently decided it would be best to basically just leave his man, walk into the paint, […]
