Jamal Crawford: Legendary Ballhandler & Playmaker
Спорт
Jamal Crawford’s NBA journey appears to have come to an end. The 20-year NBA veteran played for 9 teams and 20 coaches during his career.
A three-time winner of the Sixth Man of the Year award and the 2018-19 Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year, Crawford would retire with 19,419 points to rank 61st all-time in NBA history.
In his last game with Phoenix Suns during the 2018-19 season, he scored 51 points to become the oldest player in NBA history to reach that mark in a single game.

Bro gotta be in several top ten categories. Handles, closer, 6th man, underrated…..etc 🔥
That "6th man" role robbed us of a great one. He stayed mostly healthy, scored 50+ a good amount. I think he has the most 4 pt plays in NBA history. Good size ar 6'5 but played a little before the era he would've truly thrived in.

Man literally scored 51 points in his 2nd to the last game and never got to play again in the NBA. He's one of the players that plays an entire season in the NBA and then plays another league or two in the offseason just to earn for his family. One of the most entertaining and clutchest players I know along with Kobe and Vince. Hats off to the one and only JCrossover ✊

He's ridiculous great with handles
One of the games best journeymen. Rarely started and didn't complain about it. Instead he just came to play every night and is the definition of taking advantage of the moments you've been given. There may never be another J.Crossover.
The highlight package was only 11 minutes.. they could have gone on for an hour or more. The guy was a beautiful player and an absolute master of hoops, elite ball control, just poetic on the hardwood.. the only thing missing from his catalog is a chip. He is a hall of fame player and deserves all the accolades for his exceptional talent and not only was he magnicent at ball he is an even better person. Salute to J. Crossover and thank you, it was a pleasuring watching you hoop for all these years.
He was one of the best shows in NBA history!
Watched him when he was with LAC. Became a fan. True legend without the help of fanfare, hype,&publicity. A genuine representation of genius and greatness.
Jamal is my favorite player ever period. In my opinion there isn’t a single player that is more entertaining/enjoyable to watch. Absolute mastery
The fact I’ve never looked up his highlights before is baffling to me. One of the best ball handlers and heat check scorers I’ve watched.
I honestly still think he can play at a high level but his age teams are not calling. He was one of my favorite players and he's a legend. Hopefully one day he can get in the hall of fame.

Jamals impact on the game isn't spoken on enough, he was the leader of the mixtape era which is what a lot of young hoopers in the league today grew up watching. Legend in my eyes, and he really shoulda never been out the league but that's a different subject. Cheers to an amazing career JC🤟🏽🔥
5:15 He just hit a scoop lay-up, that he had to wrap around his defender, from a good 12 feet away from the goal. And he did so with the exact, perfect angle off of the backboard too. Enjoy the well-deserved retirement, Jamal. Thanks for the highlights! 20 years.... damn
One of my all time favorite players. Clippers fan here, so I have a lot of great memories watching him during the lob city era.
Those clutch shots, buzzer beaters, ball handling, ankle breakers, street ball passing, and 4-point plays are the best! As I've said ever since, Jamal is an underrated NBA player Much love and respect for 20 years in the league Cheers 🍻
