This is my first attempt at creating a legitimate and comprehensive crossword puzzle. I'd wanted to make one for quite a while, and for some reason I felt inspired to do so while watching basketball on tv. Thus, my pilot theme is sports, most notably the NBA. The sports related questions aren't all that hard, and the surrounding clues are even easier, so even if you don't know squat about professional basketball, I think you'll be able to cruise through this thing somewhat easily.

Criticisms, ideas, and accolades are equally welcomed. Thanks for playing.
