All-Star Weekend is a major event among celebrities, NBA players and the sport. The league showcases its best players and gets a lot of business done with sponsors — not to mention all those juicy trade rumors with the trade deadline typically less than a week away. Wouldn’t it be great if that lasted a […]

“Rumor has it that the NBA’s season-opening game on TNT will be San Antonio at Cleveland, the first home game for LeBron James in his return to Cleveland and the first game for the defending NBA champion Spurs. The NBA schedule is expected to be released next month” —Gary Washburn, The Boston Globe

Carmelo Anthony’s free agency was somewhat overshadowed by LeBron James. Well, everything in the NBA was. James’ mere presence on any team was going to shift the title conversation. That was the power of James’ decision. Anthony’s decision between staying in New York or possibly leaving for a team like Chicago had a little more […]
“That’s something me and Doc are both talking about. Something has to happen, and something needs to happen soon — sooner rather than later.
We’re all going to talk about it,” Paul said. “We’re all definitely going to talk about it. Doc, Blake [Griffin], DJ[DeAndre Jordan]. It’s unacceptable.”
–Clippers guard and NBPA President Chris Paul on the possibility of boycotting the Clippers to Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com.
Earlier this week, Clippers CEO Dick Parsons testified in open court that the legal limbo Donald Sterling has left the Clippers in has put a lot of the franchise’s on-court success in limbo. Parsons testified Doc Rivers had told him he would consider quitting if the Sterling issue is not resolved before the start of next season.

The Donald Sterling saga will not end. A few weeks ago, Sterling was in court fighting his estranged(?) wife for control of the trust which owns the Clippers. No decision was made as of yet and so Steve Ballmer and the Clippers are kept in limbo. This delay and questions about the Clippers’ future, as […]

In the lead up to LeBron James’ decision to return to Cleveland, it was chaos in his suburban neighborhood. As it became clearer that James was seriously considering a return to Cleveland, fans flocked to his house in Bath, Ohio, to wait out James (who was not there) and celebrate or burn his image in […]

Historically, it was the last contract he would sign in the NBA. The contract is up for auction by Heritage Auctions and here is […]

Professional sports cheerleaders are very much in the news these days as former Raiders cheerleaders and other professional sports team cheerleaders are suing their former employers for restrictive, and sometimes ludicrous, demands.
This American Life decided to delve into the life of a professional team cheerleader and find out just how much control the teams have over the lives of cheerleaders and dance teams.
It turns out a lot.
Former Lakers Girl and current This American Life producer Robyn Semien detailed exactly what went in to being a Lakers girl. Some of it is strange — like do not drink out of water bottles in public — and there is a fine line between family friendly and near-erotica that these dance teams have to . . . dance around.
It is an interesting look into a strange, strange world.

Jason Whitlock likes grabbing headlines. He says some really dumb, stupid things and we pay attention because they are dumb and stupid. His latest pointless diatribe was against Andrew Wiggins and his being from Canada. Whitlock’s latest baseless, and completely bigoted, claim is that Wiggins “struggled” at Kansas because players from Canada do not want […]

When the site is called Crossover Chronicles, how appropriate it is to have a video all about… crossovers! And seeing how the 2014 NBA Summer League is a wrap, it will be some time before NBA fans see any hardwood action. Unless you count the 2014 FIBA World Cup kicking off next month but I […]

And seeing how the 2014 NBA Summer League is a wrap, it will be some time before NBA fans see any hardwood action. Unless you count the 2014 FIBA World Cup kicking off next month but I digress.
Feast your eyes on some of the sickest crossovers the Summer league gave us.

The Lakers had such dreams for the offseason. Even with Kobe Bryant coming off a season where he played all of six games before injuries to his knee forced him out for the remainder of the season. He still signed a two-year extension worth $48.5 million. That will tie the Lakers cap up somewhat to […]
