Check the in-and-out to the baseline reverse finish by Houston’s Myron “The Show” Allen. The defender acts as if it was a mandatory switch but I don’t think he called it. Is the move as good as NY’s Antawn “The Teacher” Dobie a.k.a. “King of the In-and-Out,” presently earning liras with the Casa Ted […]

Congratulations to 2008 D-League MVP Kasib Powell. Sib produced big, dominating for the Sioux City Sky Force averaging 22.3 points and 5.8 rebound per game.

At the end of a career high of 31 point and 5 assists game against the Lakers, Rafer Alston decided to top it off with a little playground ball handling against Sasha Vujacic. Skip went “compulsory skate” on him with a basic reverse-pivot-one-hand-between-the-legs into a quick 3 dribbles between the legs for a real light […]
