The crossover. Tim Hardaway popularized it during the early years of his career, his move was so devastating that TV analysts dubbed it the 'UTEP 2 Step' after the university that Hardaway attended. but, for the modern generation of basketball fans Allen Iverson is credited with taking it to another level. Watch any highlights of Iverson and more often than not they include a defender laying on his back, ankles broken watching as A.I. drops another deuce on them. Of course the crossover in his rookie season on Michael Jordan serves as one of the iconic memories of the diminutive point guard.
Lately Dwyane Wade has also been known to possess a killer handle as part of his repertoire so the New York Times newspaper got together... |

| The Dallas Mavericks are the 2010-11 Westen Conference Champions after dispatching the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games yesterday. It took another comeback from the veteran laden team, they were down 8 points with six minutes left on the clock but rallied to win 100-96. A go-ahead three-pointer by their German superstar gave them a lead they didn't relinquish. Dirk Nowitzki, who was maligned for apparently fading during the 2006 Finals loss, stepped up his play once again for the Mavs... |

| Although the Oklahoma City Thunder were eliminated yesterday by the Dallas Mavericks it is just the beginning of what should be many deep runs into the Western Conference playoffs for many years to come. A loss is still a loss nonetheless and no matter how hard you try to focus on the positives sometimes the emotion of the moment gets the better of you. During yesterday's press conference Kevin Durant (wearing his now customary backpack) was asked (foolishly) if he was happy that Dirk... |

Teams that are down 3-1 in playoff series rarely come back to win. As Stuart Scott of ESPN likes to remind us all ad-nauseum, only eight teams have achieved such a feat. The Oklahoma City Thunder understand the magnitude of the task in front of them but have not lost hope, at least publicly. Head coach Scott Brooks said yesterday that the squad was taking their predicament just one game at a time. Win Game 5 and have an opportunity to force a Game 7 by winning at home.

| LeBron James association with rap mogul Jay Z is well documented but it is another rapper who inspires him prior to lacing up the boots and hitting the hardwood. Drake sent James a message before yesterday's Game 4 in Miami ( a game the rapper also attended ) simply stating, “Tonight is your night.” The words motivated the former MVP as he helped send Chicago to the brink of elimination with a 35 point, 6 rebound and 6 assist night. Later Drake revealed that he regularly... |

| Kevin Durant started yesterday's game against the Dallas Mavericks perfectly, 5-5 from the field to be exact. The way he ended it was less than perfect however. Durant was scoreless for the final five minutes of regulation and the whole overtime period. In that time the Mavericks erased a 15 point deficit, a sequence which included the scoring champ having his game winning three-point attempt blocked at the buzzer by Shawn Marion. Durant later admitted he didn't think he had any... |
