Inside the NBA decided to show the full version of Kevin Hart’s skit where he plays each character for the promos.

In honor of Jamal Crawford – a man with one of the sickest crossovers in the league – we decided to throw this crossover mix at you. Shout out to the Ball Is Life crew for putting it together.

Young Phenom of the Night

Hard to believe Mike Miles is only in fifth grade, but the young man out of Texas is just carving up the competition.

Jamal Crawford definitely earned his second Sixth Man of the Year award for the season he turned in for the Clippers in 2013-14. Beyond the 18.6 PPG, Crawford fulfilled any role head coach Doc Rivers asked, as the 14-year veteran played minutes at both backcourt positions while the Clippers endured injuries.

Tweet of the Night

Pau Gasol is class personified, so it should come as no surprise that he would draw attention to the 276 kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls.

Cheerleaders of the Night

Great to see a couple lovely Celtics dancers joining Devin Alexander (former cheerleader) that also happens to be a cancer survivor in ringing the end of the cancer treatment bell at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Oh, just Chuck doing “Chuck” things. We think he’s demonstrating how to eat churros.

Good to see the Pacers back looking closer to form. Welcome back, Roy Hibbert?
