NBA Legends Explain Why Jamal Crawford Was underrated 

I'm LOVING how McGrady wasn't having Nichols downplay how good Crawford STILL is!

Jamal Crawford is so underrated. He’s been doing this his entire career. I’d vote him the NBAs greatest 6th man and best handles.

I love Jamal Crawford. His game is so fun to watch. Poetry in motion. His shooting mechanics are aesthetically pleasing.

Jamal Crawford was nicer than most guys that was on the starting five of the team's that he played for and as the sixth man he would cook the majority of the guys that he played with that was starting five with no problem if he wanted somebody's spot he could have took it if he was that type of person he would have been able to do that but he was a sportsman in all the greatest meaning of the word he conducted himself professionally all the time and showed what true sportsmanship was at all times and that goes without saying because he chose himself to be that six man to play his position you know he could have been a starter if he chose to I believe on any team he could have been part of the starting five he could have went to work on cats at practice and and show everyone on the team and the coach that he deserve two be in the starting five easily Jamal Crawford could have been like hey give me that starting position but being a good teammate he played his position and at the end of the day even though he was never on a championship team I guarantee you he does not have to sit around long waiting for a Hall of Fame entry because it goes without saying he's definitely going in the Hall of Fame first shot because the man was six man of the year more than one time just like Bobby Jones from the 76ers back in the days guys like that you can't deny a Hall of Fame position three times Crawford was 6th man of the year and he dropped 50 in one the last games he played at like 39 years old I luv these two guys because they show you the true meaning of bailing out every time they get on the court Jamal Crawford always give you a highlight so to me they should always put some respect on Jamal Crawford's name he that guy when he gets that ball in his hand ain't nobody standing in front of him and stopping him if he want to get the job done get to his spot and if he wanted to make you look simple stupid or dumb while doing it trust me he could I know it you know it and everyone knows it the person that's playing defense on him is hoping and praying in his mind that Jamal Crawford doesn't make him look stupid lmdao God bless J. Lord Crawford

Jamal's handles were pure streetball... and he brought it to the NBA. Plus, he could hit dagger 3 point shots, and one... more than anyone else.

Shoutout to Tracy for standin up for Jamal 💯💯💯

And he's still dropping 40 easy at 42!!

I remember his draft night. He had the frame and handle I wanted. A 6'5 combo guard but I also wanted Larry Hughes def and athletic ability

Jamal Crawford has been my favorite player since Michigan 💯

He was an incredible scorer could kill you with the handle. Man was cold as ice. And he is still balling to this day.

I hope he makes into the half of fame

I’m literally crying watching this💙 he’s the reason I played ball how I did. I wore number 11 my whole career and even dropped to 10 in college cause I knew I’d always be 1 under that man.

I think Jamal got sent to alot of bum teams to hide his talents. Star driven teams with ego who needed his abilities in the playoffs did not sign him because of envy of his game that is why he had to come off the bench. You can't tell me lebron couldn't have had a easier time with golden state with Jamal instead of j.r. Smith at that time.

J Craw is a str8 hooper guaranteed to get buckets period point blank 🏀📽️

Crawford been a monster. He just ain’t get his just due outside of good support/ six man type of shit and it’s crazy because he’s also one of the most clutch players too. This new era of NBA is becoming more like the music industry… less about talent/skill and more about reputation and who rocks w/ you… that’s why a lot of great players don’t make the allstars or move up from being a sixth man.

let's send this channel to number 1. SD deserves it. Love your content brother

It’s insane that Crawford had more moves than rings. Dude was awesome.

It would be a dishonor if he didn't make the hall of fame. Because he could have started anywhere. This is 1 of those times where the back seat driver(6th man)should be driving. Love this channel.

I like how Open Court loved to talk shit. When Steve Smith was talking they had in caption "played on 14 teams in 7 seasons"...had me dying 😂🤣😂

He may not have started many games but he sure was on the court to finish the game. Plus he's all time leader in 4 point plays. Most definitely a hall of fame player...

Jamal Crawford had a beautiful behind the back handle and was very perfect with it on the break, but I do remember and Isiah Thomas had to have seen or heard about Author Swivels in Chicago. Not sure if I spelled it right. But Author would actually run a fast break bouncing the ball back and forth will running😂😂😂 That shit was so respected he would set up his offense bouncing the ball back side to side behind his back. And if a defender dare challenge he would blow by them. I don't think he went beyond highschool but he was the first and the best I ever seen doing that handle.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why the Knicks traded him… he was mos def underrated!

Offensively he was a killer, defensively, he was a killer to YOUR team!

Best 6man ever is Ginobili and that's not a debate. Jamal was AMAZING though. I never understood why he retired so silently

i appreciate your take on jamal bro. as a fellow old-schooler who dislikes much about the current nba, jamal was special. i love the love you gave him. thumbs up sean!

Sean D. ….. You are the best nba content creator on YT in my opinion, when it comes to information, recollections, feeling/inspirational moments from the past, and in-depth looks at classic matchups, games and duels, from the greatest times in sports history. Love your channel. Love the content. God Bless You for your work. You make it sunny on the cloudiest of days. Love ya buddy. 👏

One of my favorite all time guards. Jamal Crawford was a walking bucket. And a nightmare to guard. Top 5 best handle all time. Very underrated because he played on alot of bum teams. And kept balling with age.

J Crossover is the 🐐 in these Seattle streets 💯

SO UNDERRATED. Also, it really breaks my heart he didn’t get a ring. I’m a clippers fan. But Jamal Crawford is my old time player. And I’d do anything to watch him play again.

He needs to be in the NBA

I don’t know why this channel doesn’t Have a million subs, always on point

J Crossover been dogging defenders ankles for years! He’s a walking bucket I mean LITERALLY

He was underrated but I believe God hides those of true value….

One of my favorites for sure

Definitely a Legend 🎖

Me & my homeboy had this convo 2days ago. Dude was ridiculous.

Jamal Crawford Ray Allen & CP3 favorite All time 🤯💯💯

Great channel brother 🖖🏼

He was so underrated.

The love for Manu in the comments 6th man 🐐

People be sleeping on my man. Can't stand it. Thanks for the video 📹

Best 6th man ever. He deserved to be an all- star

My favorite player played 2 year in high school 1 year college walking bucket knicks 4 life

Don't like how we couldn't say goodbye to a legend

Legend

My idol forever

One of my best of all time

Been saying this too 5 favorite player

I always thought of Crawford as the Mariano Rivera of the NBA in a roundabout way.

He was really like a taller Allen Iverson but a sixth man

💯💯

J. Craw whoo man that a baller.

As an Ankle Breaker he's a top 5 all time player. I remember owning the Ankle Breakers volume one and two video series, and it was before Jamal's time but he would have had a whole chapter on himself if there was an Ankle Breakers volume 3.

Jamal Crawford was a great 6th man because that was his peak, Manu Ginobili is the greatest 6th man because he chose to be it.

I agree experience doesn't get the press it's supposed to get. J Crossover is a Legend

One of the best combo guards ever in the game of basketball should be first time ballot Hall of Fame one of these movies basketball games I've ever seen and I mean complete basketball talents one of my top five guards ever

Cool stuff

Not just play l love him character to

🎯🎯🎯

Jamal a super great player period

Extremely underrated

It would be nice to see him in Nuggets jersey this season.

Jamal Crawford can play in the NBA now not as a six-man but as a starter can you imagine how much Jay crossover would kill teams with his penetration I believe that older players can beat younger players in the NBA

Crawford was a beast truly a rare talent. I’d only rank Genobli w/him or ver as the best 6th man is modern times. I’m talking the last 30 years.

Jamal Crawford was and is still like that

I'd take Manu over Jamal 100 percent of the time. Sorry. He was just amazing. Electric. Beast mode. God mode 24/7

Amazingly, most of his move are legal, even by old school standards. Not all of them, but most of them. One of the best ball handlers of all time.

JAMAL C. IS KOOL. ✔️

Can still play RN!

J was a badddd asss dude. So much to be said about greatness but add his name when you kicking it about fame cause this brother had a magical game....

I think the reason everybody is saying he’s the greatest 6th man is because his career more so embodied what we think of as a 6 man. Manu was really a starter that didn’t start. An integral part of the Spurs big 3. We usually think of 6th men as somewhat journeyman, high level role players. Manu doesn’t really fit that mold

One word to describe Jamal Crawford-Special

Lou Williams vid next week? Keep that old school content coming...

I call the behind the back the bang bang.

My Top 10 Of N. B. A. Of all-time

He was nice

Jamal crawford..and white chocolate best handles of all time

Jamal Crawford is probably your favorite players favorite player

JC is a beast! Broke a lot of hips! Peace

🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥 7

A team needs to sign him now

Jamal Crawford should be playing in the NBA rite dude still can ball bucket getter all day Miami or Brooklyn can use him

Jamal should be on the Grizzlies. Shown those young men how to be good and a baller, but be humble.

Best player just like Tracy McGrady 💯

no doubt about it, jamal crawford is a journeyman 6th man best ever in the history of the nba. others should come in second. off the bench he is the best among the rest. it could be a unanimous choice by active and retired nba players and fans as well

omfg thats was lethal 3:02 daaaaaaamn

Jamal Crawford wasnt some one that ppl were afraid off..he had good handles but that's about it. make a video on ralphen Alston next..maybe ray allen his first 3 years playing for the sonics...

Crawford was the truth

Crawford got stuck in a transitional time where the NBA went from a defensive focus to an offensive one. It took many years for it to fully transition, but if he were drafted today, he would be a surefire starter. No way this guy would come off the bench or should of honestly when he played. I always was at a loss why he never became that guy anywhere for any team. He was a talent you should of been building around. Personal opinion if course

He was smart long career.

Mfs used to clown me for saying Jamal is my favorite player all time but son is basketball all the good basketball is is Jamal Crawfords game

1. MANU 2. Bobby Jones 76ers 3 Jamal Crawford & The Microwave- Vinny Johnson

J Crossover 🔥

Hall of Fame for one of the best 6th Men ever! Him and Lemon Pepper Lou.

An he still ballin

Anyone who can play a young MJ in a MJ commercial & look exactly like him has to be a boss

One of the coldest

The Big Three proves that there are some players that still belong in the NBA

One if my favorites all time him Vince and wade are my top 3 favorites add kobe and bosh to complete my top 5

Wish I could watch the clips without seeing this man and hearing him. First time watching this channel I don’t see how people can tolerate him
