Answers to the September 1 NBA Crossover Grid
The answers to Cells 1-3 are here.
Victor Oladipo might be the popular choice for Cell 4. The injured guard once played for the Orlando Magic and OKC Thunder. Shawn Kemp is also an excellent option. He played for the Thunder when it was still known as the Seattle SuperSonics and later played for the Magic.
Russell Westbrook has to be the top choice for Cell 5. “Brodie” won his MVP award with the Thunder and then had two nightmare seasons with the Lakers. Carmelo Anthony, Westbrook’s former teammate in Oklahoma, also played with LeBron James in LA. He’s a superb choice here as well.
Hamidou Diallo won the 2019 NBA Slam Dunk contest as a rookie with the OKC Thunder, making him a popular choice for Cell 6. Desmond Mason is another great option. He was also in his first year in the NBA when he accomplished the same feat. He was with the Seattle SuperSonics when he ruled the said contest.
Ben Wallace played for the Orlando Magic for one season before winning the 2004 championship with the Detroit Pistons. He fits well in Cell 7 of the NBA Crossover Grid. Shaquille O’Neal is another popular choice. He also began his career in Orlando before winning multiple championships with the LA Lakers.
The LA Lakers are tied with the Boston Celtics with 17 NBA championships. Many of their players have won at least 1 Larry O’Brien Trophy. Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kobe Bryant are obvious answers for Cell 8. Bud Grant is a gem of an answer here. He won a title with the Minneapolis Lakers during the 1949-50 season.
Aaron Gordon of the defending champions Denver Nuggets is considered by many to be one of the best Slam Dunk participants. Although he didn’t win the contest, many thought he was robbed of a title. He’s an excellent answer for Cell 9.
Michael Jordan and Brent Barry also won an NBA title and a Slam Dunk crown. They’re options here as well.
