Maxx Crosby’s football season may be over, but his basketball season is just getting started.
The Raiders defensive end Crosby showed up to a pickup basketball run in Las Vegas this week and wreaked havoc. In a video that went viral (posted by Instagram user “blumevisualz”), Crosby was getting smooth contested buckets over defenders and even took the ball coast-to-coast for a rim-rocking dunk in traffic. Check out the clip.
Crosby’s Raiders teammate Foster Moreau also participated in the run. But it was Crosby who single-handedly stole the show. Here is a video of Crosby throwing down a few more earth-shaking dunks (including a 360).
Maxx Crosby (@CrosbyMaxx) didn’t stop at 1 dunk, he put together a highlight reel on the court the other night in Vegas. Raiders teammate Foster Moreau (@fhmoreau) got in on the action as well. #vegas #raiders #raidernation 🎥 blumevisualz IG https://t.co/8QUVEd5OMN pic.twitter.com/acQOwWmfkB

The two-time NFL Pro Bowler Crosby showed off some pretty nifty footwork there as well as an explosive first step (which you would expect from an edge rusher). He is also 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds, which would probably make Crosby a really big 2 guard in the NBA.
Though Crosby had a strong year individually, the 6-11 Raiders were a major disappointment, and he even had to apologize to the fans at one point. Now it appears Crosby is letting off some steam on the pickup basketball court.
