There are plenty of people on this green earth who coach and play sports. For these men and women, the DNA of athletic success is so deeply coded into the human organism that it’s a sin against nature to view any loss as “good.” Thus begins a counterintuitive examination of the most successful “bad season” […]

Follow on Twitter @CrossoverNBA I was having a discussion with someone earlier this week. This person was going on about what a great President Hillary Clinton would make and couldn’t wait to vote for her. Never wanting to get into a political conversation with anyone for the most part, I just nodded, asked this person […]

The Bucks are in the postseason and they are celebrating by releasing a brand new logo which in my opinion, it is totally awesome! The Buck looks more fierce and the alternate logo of the state of Milwaukee is a nice touch. Notice the “M” below the Buck’s chin. See it? Well done Milwaukee! Well […]

As the great and wise Yoda once said, “Size matters not! Judge me by my side do you?” And that’s exactly what Utah’s Bryce Cotton proved versus the Mavs as he defied gravity and slammed down an alley-oop like a boss! Wow! Just wow! Right on the Mavs’ bigs.

Brace yourself for perhaps the more random thing you’ll see today. What do you get when you cross 80s hair band with Spurs’ Matt Bonner, Kawhi Leonard, Patty Mills, Aron Baynes and mascot the Coyote? Well “Spuran Spuran” of course! Check out the release of the music video which included Baynes in KISS makeup, Bonner […]

If the Indiana Pacers get into the playoffs, they’ll defeat the Atlanta Hawks. Book it, paste it, favorite it, or Instaface it. It’s going down. The kicker to that statement is the “if” portion, as wild a juxtaposition from one year to the next in the NBA as you’ll ever see. This time last season, […]

One of the first particularly memorable moments of a fascinating NBA regular season occurred on Nov. 8, when I was covering college football for Bloguin’s college sports site, The Student Section. The New Orleans Pelicans traveled to San Antonio to take on the newly-crowned NBA champions. The business of the regular season had begun, but […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are all the rage these days. New logos have presented themselves to the public; a youthful roster; and a lock to make the NBA Playoffs under Jason Kidd. What else can an organization ask for? Well, a lot, actually. There are more things to be won in the postseason other than just […]

In the 162-game baseball season or the 16-game NFL season, an improvement of just over 10 games cannot be compared. Such an improvement is titanic in the NFL, comparatively modest in baseball. In hockey, 10 more wins in a regular season could mean something hugely significant, but with overtime and shootout losses counting for a […]

Rick Pitino, John Calipari and a slew of others have failed in some way or another while attempting to jump from the college coaching ranks to the NBA. Whether it has been organizations giving them too much power, the coaches not being readily equipped to handle the daily grind, or some other factor, it seems […]

This season, something important was restored in Charlotte. Decades ago, the NBA came to a college basketball-loving part of the United States, accompanied by a genuine buzz. The Hornets showed that there was more than enough basketball for a fan’s entertainment dollar in the Carolinas. That identity — the one carried by the likes of […]

Does Celtics’ Isaiah Thomas scoff at gravity? Against the Cavs, Thomas penetrated the lane and got surrounded by Cavs’ defenders but laughing in the face of the laws of gravity, Thomas faked out a defender then hung in the air for some twisty, turning in midair assist to Jonas Jerebko for the three pointer.

Yesterday afternoon New York Daily News New York Knicks beat writer Frank Isola aired out “maybe the worst kept secret in the NBA”, after Isola wrote the following about Detroit Pistons’ forward Greg Monroe’s possible summer plans when Monroe becomes an unrestricted free agent: “Maybe the worst kept secret in the NBA is that Phil Jackson plans […]

There are three scheduled days left of the NBA regular season and there isn’t much that is set in stone. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will determine if teams such as the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference and in the Western Conference, the duel for […]

It just wasn’t his day from the field. Raptors’ Jonas Valanciunas didn’t have his shooting stroke with him recently as the big man missed point blank two shot attempts with this mouth piece at a paper cup. Yeah, that’s right, Jonas missed the rim of a cup (which was right in his face) as he […]
