The 76ers traded Speights, who they originally drafted, to the Grizzlies a few years back. The Florida product certainly got his revenge for that by scoring a career-high 32 points on Monday. When players face their old teams, especially teams that have traded them in the past, emotions are certain to be felt when said […]

When Denver lost Andre Iguodala after their disappointing first round exit, everyone expected them to take a minor step back. The careful balance George Karl struck without any star players on his roster equalled unparalleled regular season success for Denver but a Playoff exit and eventually his ouster. Things have changed a bit under Brian […]

When the Pelicans introduce their new-look mascot, Pierre, "frightening" was the best word to describe it. Seriously, it looked like something out of a horror flick.  Don't believe me? See for yourself the horror. OK now that it is over and your soul has been ripped from you out of sheer fright, the Pelicans saw […]

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Kate Upton is always likely to turn heads wherever she goes. I mean she is KATE UPTON. When she goes out in public, like say to an NBA game with her boyfriend (sorry, fellas) Justin Verlander, she still has guys ogling at her. But dragons? Giant green dragons? How could Kate […]

On Saturday night, waves were sent through the college basketball and sports world when Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart shoved a fan following a hard foul underneath the basket late in Oklahoma State's game at Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. {youtube}DayqHorjd8c{/youtube} The shockwaves were certainly felt in the NBA — although its effect will not […]

Heat's LeBron James continues to tease fans when it comes to ever participating in the NBA Dunk Contest. Countless times, fans and even some media have urged James to enter the contest but time and time again, he desides not to participate. It just leaves fans wondering, what if? Well after a recent Miami practice, […]

Of Detroit's top players (Greg Monroe, Andre Drummond, Brandon Jennings, and Josh Smith), Monroe (above) is the longest-tenured and most likely to be dealt It is pretty fair to say the Detroit Pistons have had about as eventful a week as a NBA team can have. It started with back-to-back losses against the Florida teams […]

It's been a while since we here at Crossover showcased Clippers' Blake Griffin and his talent of rocking the rim. It is well established he is one of the best dunkers in the league but last night versus the 76ers, he reminded us just how awesome he is. While on a fast break in the […]

Perhaps lost in this NBA season has been Hawks' Kyle Korver's streak of 3-pointers made in an NBA game. Korver nailed his 118th CONSECUTIVE games played where he has nailed a 3-pointer last night versus the Grizzlies in the first quarter. Again that's 118 games in a row where's he made a 3-pointer. Check out […]

He may be 40-years old and over the hill for NBA standards but Lakers' Steve Nash showed he still has game versus the Sixers. While on offense, Nash was matched up with young buck Evan Turner and made him look silly with one sick crossover which left Evan with some broken ankles. http://youtube.com/watch?v=HuPKycBMD4c

The Magic have only 15 wins on the season after Friday night. The wins are fe wand far between and need to be cherished when they happen. A 103-102 win against the 40-win Thunder is one that should be celebrated in the halls of Amway Center. Then again, you never know when a game will […]

Pitchers and catchers will report in a few short weeks for baseball teams around the country. For those that simply do not like basketball — a) I do not understand you — this is the beginning of spring and one of the more look forwarded days of the year. It will have a distinctly NBA […]

Ahh Gregg Popovich. The mercurial San Antonio Spurs head coach was at it again with the media in last night's Spurs-Nets game. {youtube}6zN_uTl7t8c{/youtube} TNT's David Aldridge has the "pleasure" of interviewing Pop at the end of the first quarter and in true Pop fashion, game a less-than-thrilled interview which included short answers and sarcastic parting […]
