The 1994 Seattle Supersonics. The 2012 Chicago Bulls. The 2007 Dallas Mavericks. These and other “winter champions” are not remembered for the best of reasons. Greatness over 82 games and greatness in an American spring are two very different things. The playoffs define professional basketball legacies and reputations.

We’ll focus on each of the eight first-round series in due time, but as the 2015 NBA Playoffs arrive — the brackets clean and all 16 teams starting at 0-0 — what broader themes emerge? The first thought that comes to mind is that another professional basketball postseason offers a fascinating mix of the old […]

When we watch NBA games sometimes we forget that these great players are just as human as we are. Toronto Raptors forward James Johnson posted this video to his instagram today and it is a good reminder that these guys aren’t just super heroes on TV but do a lot of the same stuff we […]

Hit that Follow button on Twitter @CrossoverNBA Probably the most underrated event in sports starts this weekend: the NBA playoffs. Folks decry the NBA’s style of play versus college which is “real basketball,” because they can act like bleeding shot clocks and high ball screens means they’re really smart, but the honest truth is that […]

Who are the Washington Wizards? Thanks to Paul Pierce questioning if John Wall and Bradley Beal “have what it takes”, it seems to be a rather topical question. Not that Pierce is the lone person to ever question the two players. Still, even despite the messenger having bashed a multitude of people which have made people […]

The New Orleans Pelicans did it. They managed to navigate the brutal Western Conference and earn the eight seed. While that likely means they will just be the first team to lose to Golden State in the playoffs, it is still an accomplishment for a team who is probably a bit ahead of schedule. Not to […]

We’re talking about practice, no, seriously, we are actually talking about practice. Golden State Warriors’ star Stephen Curry is not only deadly from deep in-game, but he’s just as deadly from 3-point land on the practice floor, too. Watch the video, preferably with your favorite bottle of wine, dim the lights and watch as the […]
