we're just glad to see it's gotten you so riled up.

Thanks for trolling!

I searched the web for the meaning of a crab dribble. I came up with this, but it describes nothing like what Crab Walk Baby does. What he does is, well, for lack of a better term, walk.
---------------
The most overlooked dribble maneuver is what is called a crab dribble. What is a crab dribble? It is when the dribbler has their back to a defender and dribbles the ball between their feet with step-slide footwork.
Why use a crab dribble?
1.To protect the ball by keeping the body between the defender and the ball. It is the most common dribble used by post players; the back-down move that is so common is a crab dribble. For perimeter players it is especially effective when the dribbler is bringing the ball up-court against an extremely quick, ball-hawking defender.
2.To set the pace at which the ball is brought up the floor. Often the coach will instruct the ball-handler to slow the pace of the game down, but if the dribbler is being pressured, the only way to relieve pressure is to attempt to go by the defender.
3.To change sides of the court when being pressured, without exposing the ball to the defender. This is usually done with a spin dribble but may also be done with a pop back move and then a change of hands dribble (crossover, behind back, between leg).
Technique:
1.Footwork
a.Point the lead toe in the direction you want to go.
b.Step with the lead foot, then push with the back foot and get airborne; it is extremely important for the ball-handler to cover ground (I always tell players to make a bad defensive slide).
2.Torso
a.Turn your torso at a 45-degree angle when you are moving up the floor.
b.Keep your body between the defender and the ball.
3.Head
a.Look over the shoulder corresponding to the lead foot.
b.Keep your eyes up and be aware of potential traps and run and jumps.
c.Use your peripheral vision to see defenders coming from behind you.
4.Dribble
a.The ball should be dribbled directly between your feet.
b.As the player dribbles the ball they should use an inside-out action, this will allow the dribbler to progress forward with the ball, but still keep it between the feet.
c.When the defender cuts the dribbler off, use a spin dribble to change directions.

Since this describes nothing that Crab Baby does, maybe this is where he got it from...

The funny thing is that no matter what excuses he tries to throw out there, by definition, a crab dribble must include a, you know, "dribble." If he had, in fact, dribbled the ball (hence the name), we wouldn't be having this discussion.

The link at the top of the page says that "LeBron's IQ is 125 - are you smarter than him?" Hmmm, I'm starting to question whether I can believe all of those things in the links on this page...... What is this world coming to?

So word is that Cleveland Coach Mike Brown got purposefully ejected because he was overbooked with things to do that day, and had to get on to his other committments:

He had to do the weather:

He had a gig:

and of course, he had to make millions of children very, very happy:

OK, back to making fun of LeCrab and the Traveliers.

LeBron is so frickin arrogant and pompous it makes my skin crawl. I don't think I've ever hated a player as much as I hate him.

I hope he never gets a ring. I hope he goes to the Knicks and never gets a ring with them either, so then Cleveland will hate him as much as we do in DC.

This is well deserved, after 3 or 4 (whatever) years of watching this dude repeatedy travel against us and not get called for it. It's just total BS. I only wish BTH was there to lay a couple hard fouls on him.

Randy Newman's contribution to descriptions of Le Crustacean's fair city:

There's a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's a red moon rising
ON the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's an oil barge winding
Down the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's an oil barge winding
Down the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

Cleveland city of light city of magic
Cleveland city of light you're calling me
Cleveland, even now I can remember
'Cause the Cuyahoga River
Goes smokin' through my dreams

Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on
Now the Lord can make you tumble
And the Lord can make you turn
And the Lord can make you overflow
But the Lord can't make you burn

Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on

Sneakers Force NBA Uniform Change

Weekend Edition Saturday, December 27, 2008 ยท The Washington Wizards were asked to wear different uniforms while playing Cleveland this week so that LeBron James could wear the color uniform that best matched his new sneakers.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/stor ... t=1&f=1055


maybe next time we can wear "baltimore claws" jerseys as throwbacks in honor of the crab dribble.

LMAO... The irony of this all is it's LeBronzes fault for opening his big mouth and not being able to accept a loss and count to 3! So Cavs' fans (or should i say "Crabs' fans") stop complaing and teach your golden boy to count... :lol:
