Lebron James and The Crab Dribble
Hip 2 Da Game —
In the top video, Lebron tries to explain that he did a crab dribble and didn't walk against Washington the other night. Below, Jalen Rose explains what a crab dribble is and says that Lebron definitely walked. Is it just me or is Lebron James becoming somewhat annoying? I really can't stand him that much anymore even though he is a great player. He just seems to get under my skin somehow. I'm gonna officially call this play the "Crab Walk", 'cause Lebron clearly travelled on the play and from now on I'm gonna refer to him as Lebron "Crab Walker" James. Sorta goes with his crabby attitude when things don't go his ...
“Crab Dribble” will remain in Lebron’s game
Cleveland Cavaliers News —
“Crab Dribble” will remain in Lebron’s game Lebron James upset with referee The crab dribble has been a hot topic since referee Bill Spooner called James for traveling when he was driving for a potential tying basket. James insisted he had executed a legal hesitation move that he practices all summer with assistant coach Chris Jent. Coach Mike Brown said the move is usually used in the post or as a player gets into the paint and is about to execute a power move to the basket. James was stunned and disagreed with the call. “Bad call, we all make mistakes, and I think I got the wrong end of the bargain,” said James “I watched it 10 times after the game and it ...

Wednesday (Joel Przybilla’s grandmother, the crab dribble and the bacon weave) edition: Wha’ Happened?
Randball —
baconweave.jpg We will start with some news that might shock you: only two teams in the NBA are hotter than the Timberwolves right now. Yes, you heard that right. Minnesota won its third consecutive game last night — its first three-game winning streak in almost two years — and only Detroit (seven consecutive victories) and Denver (four) can claim to be on a greater roll than that. With OKC on the docket tonight — at 5-30, the Thunder have the league’s worst record — Minnesota is in position to dream of a fourth consecutive victory. Remember, we will be charting Brian Cardinal’s every move tonight. It will be so intense that a restraining order will be the only logical ...

LeBron James Inspires Me To Discover How Much I Don’t Know
MOUTHPIECE Blog // A Chicago-Addled Sports Blog —
The travel call against LeBron James near the end of the Cavaliers’ 80-77 loss to the Wizards on Sunday has developed into something of an ongoing story. If you haven’t seen the travel in question, you can watch it here. James took two steps to the basket. He then drank a cup of tea, filed his taxes, cleaned his gutters, watched some old Scorcese movie that his friends have been bugging him to watch, and took a third step to the net. Pretty obvious travel, right? LeBron still disagrees.
“I’ve done that move plenty of times and I believe it’s a good move,” he said after practice on Tuesday.
…”It’s easy ...

Here we see a host of analysts talk about the move, LeBron, Butler, and Jamison. They all have something to say, but only LeBron is 100% convinced that it was not a travel. What do I think? I think ...
Cavs Corner: Statement win for Cavaliers, LeBron over Celtics
Midwest Sports Fans —
There has been some push back of late in regards to the idea of LeBron James naming certain moves he makes on the basketball court. However, his display in Friday’s 98 - 83 win over Boston, is evidence of the fact that this is a necessary development.
For example, the words dunk, flush, slam or jam simply do not accuratly depict what Bron-Bron did to the rim when he received a feed from Daniel Gibson, on a back door cut, in the first quarter Friday - and we need a name for that. We also need a name for that thing he did to Ray Allen’s ‘transition’ lay up, as well as Kendrick Perkins’ ‘power move,’ because ...

NBA Traveling: Always Been a Tough Rule to Call
ESPN.com - TrueHoop —
When I first arrive in his office, Vice President of Referee Operations Joe Borgia shakes my hand, eyes locked on mine, and asks: "What color shoes am I wearing?" Without peeking, I can see his shirt, and guess it might be the kind of shirt you'd wear with black shoes. "Black," I say. He smiles, impishly. I look down at his shoes. Which are brown. His point: Referees look primarily for fouls. They're looking at bodies, elbows, heads, the ball, and everything else. The eyes are up -- there's just no way around it. Yet traveling happens with the feet -- so it's just about always called with peripheral vision, at a ...

Bullets Forever —
Yes, the Cavaliers are the best team in the NBA. Yes, the Cavaliers have the best player in the NBA. Yes, the Cavaliers won three straight opening round playoff series against the Wizards. In the annals of history, we'll be remembered as an annoying little speed bump on LeBron's ascension to epic, mega, superstardom.
I've come to grips with these facts this season. As they always say, history is written by the victors, and the pen is nott in our hand.
When it comes down to it, we just happened to be on the wrong side of history. It happens. But there's always one moment that we'll be able cherish from this heated series ...

It was pretty close RT@ Capitalskremlin Not only did the world not explode, but the DC sports stars failed to even align. Pretty close is over-selling it. I was imagining some rowdy photos, some ...
Exclusive Interview With ESPN’s Jalen Rose
Hoops Addict —
When the name Jalen Rose is mentioned to a basketball fan, there are very distinct images and on-the-court moments that come to mind. Michigan fans of Rose immediately think back to his Fab 5 days at the University of Michigan, where he was the skinny kid with large shorts and a larger game to match. Indianapolis fans will remember him as the versatile guard for the Indiana Pacers who gave Michael Jordan fits in the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals. Some Toronto residents hear Rose’s name, and they will remember that the was one of the many players who could not stop Kobe’s 81 point barrage.
But despite his retirement from the game of basketball in ...
