Utah Jazz 2014-15 Record: 38-44 (13th, West) Draft Picks: 12 (First Round), 42 (Second Round) 54 (Second Round – from Cleveland) Team Strengths: The second half of the 2014-15 NBA season saw the Jazz experience a French Revolution of sorts, as “The Stifle Tower,” Rudy Gobert, developed into the league’s most feared shot blocker. The […]

Before I started contributing to Crossover Chronicles I had no idea how ridiculously good the NBA’s Youtube Channel is. They are cranking out consistently good and fun content. Other leagues should take note. Here’s a look at the best plays of 2014-2015 as we head into the playoffs…

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.

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 […]

So Utah’s Rudy Gobert ego might be in shambles right now courtesy of Wolves’ Andrew Wiggins. As if getting posterized once was bad enough, Gobert got smashed on twice by Wiggins in the same game and the last dunk was simply filthy. Check out the big man getting abused by Wiggins.

There is nothing I love more than a good villain, because without them, the world would be pretty boring. With that said, when Enes Kanter kinda-sorta force his way out of Utah at the NBA Trade Deadline this year, one might not expect the Salt Lake City faithful to welcome back the former Kentucky Wildcat […]

I guess the Warriors’ Andrew Bogut didn’t learn the meaning of sharing when he was growing up in Australia. During the Warriors-Jazz recent game, Utah’s Rudy Gobert was soaking in sweat and needed some help from Bogut. Seeing him grab himself a towel to dry off, Rudy decided to see if Bogut would be a […]

How do you know you are having one heck of an NBA season? When you’re the Warriors’ Stephen Curry versus the Jazz and somehow manage to make a bucket as you are falling to the court, surrounded by Jazz defenders, flip the ball up in the air and somehow the ball finds the bottom of the […]
CHICAGO, IL – APRIL 20: Nene #42 of the Washington Wizards moves against Joakim Noah #13 of the Chicago Bulls in Game One of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals during the 2014 NBA Playoffs at the United Center on April 20, 2014 in Chicago, Illinois.

Yeah this is going to sting a bit for Utah’s Rudy Gobert. Against the Wizards, Gobert was on the wrong end of a powerful, ego-crushing dunk courtesy of Nene. Check out Nene making Gobert look silly and the Wizards’ bench jumping out of their seats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnGbcS6SeuQ

The NBA is full of fantastic mini-barometers used to measure just how closely one person is following along or not. Unlike following a popular TV show, where “I’m not caught up yet” is a permissible excuse for abbreviating any discussion (i.e. every dinner/coffee/party conversation in my proximity that ventures near Breaking Bad), sports fans are expected to […]

The busiest day in the NBA has come to a close as the 3:00 pm EST trade deadline expired on Thursday. Thursday’s deadline didn’t fail to deliver some great trades and also some questionable ones. In the 11th hour there were a few huge trades that went down and listed below are the exact trades that […]

Enes Kanter and the Utah Jazz were pretty chummy for a long time, but things started deteriorating this off season when Kanter and the Jazz decided not extend his contract. The team already gave Derrick Favors an extension so they decided to see how Kanter panned out as a full-time starter. Well, it seems we […]

According to USA Today’s Jeff Zillgitt, the Magic are looking to unload forward Maurice Harkless. A player the Magic are willing to deal for mininmal return, I’m told, is forward Moe Harkless, whose minutes have dropped each season w/ORL. — Jeff Zillgitt (@JeffZillgitt)

Getting blocked might rank high on an NBA player’s list of humiliating things to happen to them on the court. It’s demoralizing and gets into your head if you are trying to get back to the rim knowing the big man is ready to pack the shot. But if your Houston’s Josh Smith, you just […]

Utah Jazz forward Trevor Booker is only averaging 7.6 points this season, but he might have had the coolest and craziest two points of the year already. Just see how creative he gets with 0.2 seconds left on the clock. Yup. That’s worth watching a few times. Congrats, Trevor Booker. You will forever be remembered […]
