Jamal Crawford Threw a Between-the-Legs Alley-Oop to Blake Griffin [Video]

All, NBA Kyle Koster March 7th. 2013, 10:38am

Just a couple of guys practicing fundamentals, trying to collaborate on the dunk of the year, and possibly succeeding. It would be difficult to pull off a more elaborate in-game jam. Then again, who among us wants to doubt Blake Griffin?

Griffin also added this putback dunk as part of his 23 point, 11 rebound, 11 assist night.

For hotdogging? There’s is – it’s an “accidental” elbow to the eye-socket.

After that last post I wasn’t sure how well Koster would fit in with the staff here. I’m no longer concerned.

Oh come on. They were on a clear break and were having fun. I see nothing wrong with this. Don’t wanna see that? Get back on D or don’t turn it over.

My problem is always with the way the bench reacts – like a bunch of idiots.
In baseball, somebody goes yard when up big at the end of the game, player goes into a slow trot, and the bench starts acting like a bunch of high school kids who just saw a dunk for the first time…next guy is getting heat in the direction of his chin.

Serious question – does basketball have unwritten rules like baseball? Cultures seem to be hugely different to me.
In the times I played hoops, if a guy could show off like that, the expectation was “don’t let him do it again. Get back on D, or undercut him on his next flight to the rim”.

Exactly. Every sport has a way of evening the score, so to speak. Baseball happens to have cowards (in the AL) who know they won’t be the one getting hit.

YES. This is the best part. It’s the move Shaq perfected in All-star games where you stumble off the bench holding everyone back in pure wonder mixed with disgust.

In direct contrast to MLB, NBA fans actually enjoy athleticism and excitement.

Well then some do a better job of enforcing their rules.
Those AL guys have it tough, too, unless they’re just total dicks. I know they don’t bat, but imagine you throw at somebody, then have a guy retaliate against your teammate, he gets hit in the wrist, and breaks it. It’s more of a detente in the AL, for that reason…I think.

the whole baseball culture regarding unwritten rules and payback and sissy fighting makes my ass tweeeetch
why, i’ll point my bat at you and slowly advance giving time for umps and others to step between us!
there have been exceptions, with guys sprinting to the pitcher, but even then it’s to tackle. as i’ve said many times….baseball fighting should be like hockey fighting. batter and pitcher (or whoever) and if anyone intervenes, they are suspended. when guys go to ground, fight over
otherwise, silly posturing

Not a dunk. Because Crawford walked, you see. And dammit, we keep getting these new guys. Has Ronny been axed? Terrible decision. I’m blaming Hernia

I think the fines and suspensions have something to do with that whole punching deal.
Best/funniest fight I saw happened when a guy on our team decided to fight the right fielder. Right fielder slowly jogging out to his position in between innings, dude comes charging out of the first base dugout after him.

Not only did Crawford travel, whoever threw him the outlet pass jumped up in the air, then landed, then threw the ball. A first-grader would know that was traveling. That’s why the NBA is just barely a step above pro wrestling when it comes to credibility.

I think the White Sox-Tigers brawl from 2000 still holds the record for most suspensions, the league had to stagger them just so that the clubs didn’t have to gut minor leagur rosters to fill 25 slots…go Sox!

I’ve always been partial to Armando Benitez going up against almost the entire Yankees team.

Maybe.
What cracked me up was how the Padres had what, three or four different times trying to hit Pascual Perez in retaliation for an earlier beanball. But, in every AB Perez kept jumping out of the way, like a cat on a hot tin roof.
