    It wasn't even that great! Wall was still pretty close to him trying to stuff him on his way back.

    One play doesn't matter. If internet existed that one time Matt Maloney crossed over Michael Jordan, you'd all wanna Saddam Hussein Michael Jordan's statue in front of the United Center.

    If you wanna crown him, then crown his ass!

    But Rivers was who we thought he was! And we let him off the hook!

    Even though Rivers plays more SG than point, for the sake of comparison here are the two at the same age of 17...

    John Wall (summer 2008)

    I've seen quite a bit of Rivers this summer. He's looked really good in some of the AAU tourneys. He's a UK target, but they don't think he's going to come to Kentucky.

    Seems like a very good player though... definitely has helped his stock since school ended.

    no one is hating on wall. it was just a nice cross over and he happened to pick wall clean on the next play after.

    some of you have sand in your vagina or wall's dong in your mouth.

    It's not obvious because it wasn't a double dribble at all. It's a carry if anything.

    Really, guys?

    One or two possessions, and Austin Rivers > John Wall?

    Come on.

    Nobody's saying that. What people is saying is the steal and crossover were impressive. And they were. Wall has like 3 years of experience on him and Rivers made some good plays.

    One thing I'm wondering though, isn't Austin too white to be Doc Rivers' son? :confused: I had Doc Rivers pegged as an african american, but Austin looks caucasian?

    Doc is married to a white woman...

    Austin has a white mom...

    Austin looks white because his mom is white...

    Has and1 mixtapes really turned the metric of of a good cross over into embarrassing your defender?

    He absolutely burned him for an easy basket, if he fell over of wobbled it would have resulted in the same end.

    Title is a bit...dumb (no offense).
    I mean everybody gets crossed up.
    AI crossed up MJ.
    My friend crossed up Terrence Morris.
