Best play of the year

That was sweet! I had to rewind and watch that play like 15 times last night.

Is it on youtube yet? I want to show some co-workers.

Great game, not much of a crossover

That move wasn’t that great, definitely not the “best play of the year”… He went through his legs a few times and Jason Terry stepped on his own foot. Then he bricked the jumper. Just because someone falls over doesn’t mean its a great move. The dude just got tangled up…

There is a reason this wasn’t on ESPN’s top 10 last night. I would take the time to rewind and watch some of those passes DWill made 15 times, not that weak ass cross-over.

Um

The whole purpose of the crossover is to get guys off balance and fall all over themselves. It was a bit diminished by not being able to finish, but the crossover was ridiculous. Ask Jason Terry if he thought it was a good crossover. He knew falling down that he had just been played. His prayers are why the jumper didn’t fall. He would have been all over highlights for weeks.

Uhh....

Do you know anything about basketball and the crossover?

You might want to watch a few games and study a little bit before making a comment like that.

This exact play is the definition of “breaking his ankles”. If D-Will makes the shot then he is going down in history with the greatest play. Don’t you remember when Allen Iverson crossed up Michael Jordan his rookie year? That play was all over the place and this one by D-Will made the defender fall on his ass. That by definition is “breaking his ankles”.

I know in Portland things are a little different, but stay with us.
