The Crab Dribble

LeBron James called the move he made when going for a potential tying layup at the end of regulation on Sunday night a 'crab dribble', but the referees called the move a violation, and Washington was able to escape with a win over the Cavaliers.

According to the Washington Post, there has been much debate over whether James traveled on the play or if it was legal. Even after watching the replay several times James believes it was a bad call while on the flipside the Wizards think that justice prevailed.

Wizards' duo Caron Butler, who was guarding James on the play, and Antawn Jamison had some fun with the situation.

"Yeah, a crab dribble is when you travel," Butler said with a grin yesterday. "That's my boy, and that's the hottest thing on the market now, the crab dribble travel. . . . I couldn't do it in AAU, couldn't do it in college, and obviously, I can't do it now."

Before the call was even made, Jamison was rolling his arms asking for a traveling call. Does he know what a crab dribble is?

"I don't know, but I know what traveling is," Jamison said. "He said he's seen the play a couple of times and didn't think he traveled, but we all know what traveling is. They got tape to prove the history of that signature move that he has, but it was a travel, hands down. When he beats us on end-of-game situations or finds a way to get it done, we give him credit, but it didn't happen [Sunday] and the right call was called."

The refs must be atoning for the egregious way they bailed out the Cleveland LeBrons in the last game.

The funniest is how Wizards fans are calling them the Cleveland Crabaliers.

I don't know about the Crab Dribble, but I can do a mean Truffle Shuffle. I'm so glad that the golden boy finally got called for something. He could kill someone and David Stern would have his people hide the body.

QFT...and then Stern'd find a way to penalize the Celtics for it!
