I do like the points you made there about Jamal Crawford being a locker room presence and inspired a lot of young ballers in today’s era as of right now. Unfortunately, this is only talking about his game and his game on the basketball court and if his talent can lead to winning games and of course, a championship. Quite simply put, no, he just isn’t a capable franchise player. The stats in his career say it all. His game is without a doubt, aesthetically pleasing, but what good is all that if you can’t win games. As far as needing to be a lebron/jokic archetype, I in many ways agree but also disagree. Yes, there exists players who play multi-faceted practically like a LeBron James, Nikola Jokic, Giannis, etc, but there are also players who play 1-dimensionally such as those who can only score, rebound, pass, etc. Now if we are focusing on a particular player, if I had to choose a player who would give me the best chance of winning a championship, I’d take the multi-dimensional player 10 times out of 10. The 1-dimensional player on the other hand, they peak as a role piece for a potentially contending team.

[@kyoungt14]

As a someone who’s a Twolves fan, I remember when we signed him for the 17-18 season and I initially thought it was a decent cause he can used for scoring off the bench, but my god was it horrible to watch him scoring 10+ points of terrible efficiency and Thibs wouldn’t give 2 fucks whether this was beneficial for the team or not.

[@fortynights1513]

If you’ve got skill, you’ve got skill and that’s awesome. But it doesn’t mean you are the best player for helping a team win games, as other aspects of the game that typically don’t make highlights are important as well. Jamal Crawford was often inefficient, and not good defensively from the sounds of it. But he did display some solid skill when he executed from the looks of it. He’s overrated in that he shouldn’t be considered one of the single best sixth men in the history of the league, and is often considered such because of the three sixth man awards, but nevertheless he carved out a decent career for himself as a bench player I’d argue.

[@spliffsforbreakfast]

I’ve never heard someone say Jamal Crawford was overrated honestly. And saying he didn’t play up to expectations or he’s “not a winner” is BS. His teams were *BUNS* with or without him until he got to the Clippers. And we all know how that went down. If he’s such a bad presence for winning, how tf did he last 20 years in the league?

Funny how you skipped over the efficiency part. His value on a team was scoring. He was a subpar passer and defender, got worse in the playoffs and shot inefficiently.

That’s not true lol. If you can shoot the ball 10 times a game on 40% that doesn’t mean you can shoot it 20 times at 40%. If Jamal Crawford had AI’s shot volume he would shoot below 30% from the field. That’s the difference

I don't agree with using playoff stats for Crawford as a way of dismissing him from a 6th man conversation. His prime years was spent on bad teams in Chicago and New York, where he didn't even make the playoffs. He wasn't a constant 6th man until 2011 with Atl where he avg nearly 20 points off the bench in the playoffs, but they weren't a serious contender and they certainly didn't lose because Crawford didn't perform. Same with the clippers, Crawford fulfilled his role, they didn't lose because he didn't play well, he actually did a great part keeping them in games when CP was out Edit: the Knicks and the Bulls in the 2000s were dumpster fire franchises. Blaming Jamal Crawford for them being bad is a gross overstatement when the management of both teams were shit. Just looking at the Bulls in 2000 they traded the ROY for Tyson Chandler with the idea that Tyson would run SF, then drafted Eddy Curry with the Fourth overall pick. Next draft they traded Ron Artest for an old Jalen Rose. And none of this was because they had Jamal Crawford because he was barely on the team, he wasn't even a consistent starter at this point. Saying that teams were bad because they trusted someone to lead them who couldn't is a massive overstatement when talking about Jamal. If the Knicks trusted him as much as you say they did he would've been on a Max Contract or at least something close to one, he wasn't. He led them in scoring because he was the best scorer on the team once Marbury got suspended.

[@bstove24]

Seattle/Tacoma has had so many great basketball players come out of there. Jamal Crawford is a legend around here.

[@fortynights1513]

Saw him interviewed on a broadcast of a Mariners game last season.

[@dezzyschannel3078]

I don't really get the ranty vibes on this one after you frame it as Jamal unfollowed you because of your video? Like this comes across as you trying to even a score when framed with that story. Also intimidation? Really? Like Crawford has a million better things to do rusty, sorry.

More collabs w LKIAB plz

[@martianmurray]

Jamal is a Walmart Kyrie. Fun to watch on offense, poor defender, and doesn’t help a team win.

[@killapositionz2]

This video did need to be made. People act like CP3's lob city teams were good and Jamal Crawford was a big part of that. He shot so poorly in all their playoff losses.

[@HenryZhoupokemon]

They should just rename the 6 moty to decently efficient ~20 ppg off the bench but plays no defense award

That’s crazy that you’d make a video like this when ADs whole career is him being over valued and under achieving man’s literally still in the league too while Jamal is retired and on TNT

[@fortynights1513]

He’s made a number of videos where he’s said or implied that he thinks Anthony Davis is overrated. I’d say he’s had a pretty good career, but that’s just my opinion.

[@michaelyoung2978]

@@fortynights1513 Davis is going to Springfield when it’s set and done tho he did a lot those years on the pelicans statically and had a great year 1 on the lakers and a decent second year battling injuries after landing on the 2k cover the previous year as well.

Does anyone remember how obnoxious Stephen A Smith was by swearing up and down each time the Clippers lost that if they had played Jamal Crawford they would have won? 😶

Jamal was fun to watch but I don't see many people rate him that high. But I would take Ginobili over him all day long.

[@crashlight54]

Haven't watched yet but my thoughts exactly. Also I wonder how long this one's been cooking? Edit after watching: yeah, pretty much. Just a scorer, bad at all other aspects of the game, playoff underperformer, and the one thing he's good at he still did inefficiently

[@wesbesttreacts4515]

Jamal Crawford is a very rare type of player, his role was basically to take tough shots, man probably came off a screen for an open shot twice a season, he was the guy teams would pass the ball too when the play gets broken up and you have to throw up a prayer of a shot, I’ve noticed that nowadays players don’t even shoot the ball at the end of quarters to beat the buzzer because they don’t want to mess up their fg%, Crawford didn’t care about all that 😂, if he had the ball and there was time to shoot, he was shooting it. So while superstar franchise player might be a stretch, you are still talking about a 6’5 shooting guard with a handle second to none and a great shot, he definitely could’ve been utilized better but again all of his teams just expected him to take tough shots

[@Kyle-so6yk]

Jamal Crawford has an aesthetically pleasing game. He appeals to the people who just watch ankle breaker highlights and not actual NBA games.

[@MarcusHansen276]

Jamal Crawford is a great hooper off the bench. The problem is he was a street baller and not a basketball player. Manu is the best 6th man of all time. He could’ve started but didn’t because it was best for the team.

[@fortynights1513]

When Rusty did best sixth man of all time a couple years ago, he had Kevin McHale and John Havlicek over Manu.

[@MarcusHansen276]

@@fortynights1513 everyone’s got their opinions but Manu is #1. 4 rings. Starting on any other team. I’ll never understand the argument

Jamal Crawford was a great bench player. But people pretending he was a better 6th man than Lou Williams or Manu Ginobli is an absolute joke.

Never heard of ball dont stop So I went to check out some of his videos. Clearly he’s a relative of Jamal Crawford because that many videos about Jamall just aren’t unwarranted in life. Lol lol

[@tbucfromsoundcloud]

Jamal Crawford one of my favorite players and most exciting players ever but he fits into the mold of being a bad defensive player who relies solely on hitting shots on offense which wasn't always the case. When he was on he was really good but you couldn't count on that as often as you'd like. Still a great 6th man to me tho but probably the best of all time.

[@xrxez-mp5016]

Ouch, but the video needed to be done for us to understand why he got limited playing time.
