He's one of those players that when you think of great players he's not one you immediately think of, but honestly he's up there. 20 years with some great plays. Honestly I think he inspired more young people to play basketball than some other people
I literally tried to steal this man's whole dribble package, thank you Jamal Crawford for inspiring me so much and contributing to the world's best game.
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.
Jamal’s offensive game is very similar to Kevin Durants…tighter handles less height n explosion but very much a player who keeps his defender off balance
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 ✊
If you’re in the league that long you don’t need a second job. He just love the game. He could’ve retired years ago & lived off the pension. Vet minimum salary puts anyone in the top 1%
@@joshuabryant9845 honestly he’s above Manu it’s just the fact manu played in a much better system with a dynasty. That spurs dynasty was literally molded for each other, all the pieces fit perfectly.
@@kingks1325 Nah Manu actually passed the ball rather than force up bad shots...Jamal had a mad offensive game but he was a gunner with no conscience let's keep it real...bounced around on 9 different NBA teams for a reason.
One of my fave players of all time. Met him and it was like I met Jordan. Dude was SUPER humble. I was a 6’5 pg. and he legit the same height doing this. He a legend in my eyes 💯
Bro I feel u. He was my favorite player when I was younger. Him and T-Mac. When I met him nobody couldn't tell me NOTHING. I was on top of the world. Truly humble dude
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 🍻
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
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.
One of a handful of players those who you pay to watch would pay to watch...there's so much joy in his game...so much style and artistry...just a pure baller The game hasn't caught up with this guy yet...
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🤟🏽🔥
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.
J-Crossover balled so hard night in and night out. He was a magician on the court and made an amazing legacy for himself off the court as well. One of my favourite players ever and HOF caliber man.
@@rolandheinze7182 I think his impact on the game as a 6th man and the way he defined the 6th man role, as well as him having the most 4 point plays and his huge legacy off the court is what makes him a HOF caliber man

Thank you for the 20 years of highlights! Definitely made the 6th Man title more than just the 6th man off the bench. Always stayed ready when the call came. Mr. Crawsover did a lot of the teams he's on and for the community in Seattle.
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.
@@dd120398 Russ is a great player he just having a bad season but the Lakers definitely could have used him. His scoring might could have helped them in some of those close games they lost.
I first remember Crawford when he dropped 40 somethin on my Miami Heat while he was with the Hawks. This was like 08-09. I knew he was a great scorer but didn't see much of his earlier highlights. So the self passes off the backboard caught me by surprise.
Best ball handler ever in the history of the game, crowd silencer and Amazing shooter. What a fantastic and insane player. Im you your biggest fan from Italy jamal
As A Hawks fan, loved when Mally Mal was on the Hawks, definitely made the Highlight Factory go crazy back then, was so electrifying and was a pure bucket either off the bench or starting.
Crawford might not have the accolades like the other greats, but his handles were unmatched. So many under rated signature moves -- that snatch-back and cross again move, plus the behind the back gather, and more...and the crazy part was that they were just by-products of his insane handles (as opposed to deliberate "moves"). As an NBA fan he was definitely one of the most entertaining players to watch!
Jamal is one of the handful of players that I’ll go out of my way to search the highlights for.

Jamal is so good that even his own teammates will fall down in his incredible cross over moves though they aren't guarding him.
Lmao
Surprised he didnt drop a ref.

he got injured which is too bad because i`ve never seen a 40 year old move that fast and control the ball like that , like he did in Nets
Man's just loves the game
He liked to gamble...like Jordan so maybe that's his play money
Got 51 and played no defense
The behind the back into the hop step is one of the sweetest basketball moves I've ever seen...
One of my favorite ballhandlers in the NBA. I hope someone keeps some of his moves alive.
For what it's worth, they were born on blacktops. He found a way, along with other players back then, to fold them into the NBA game.
kyrie
@@Max-mj4bc yea. U right. But i wanna see double behind the back crossover. Kyrie is a God in his own right. Lol

because he jumps like a foot forward on his jumpshot.

The fact that Jamal Crawford been traded so many times is crazy to me. I’d want him on my team
One of those players I hope the younger generation doesn't forget about. An unbelievably skilled player and better person off.
I won't ever forget
Maannnn!!!! One of the best hesitation dribbles ever😢😢😢. Underrated!!
One of my favs
In 2k13 this man was unstoppable
Real ones remember
Fuckin broken lob city was instant dub
the realest ones remember 2k13 portland
They had to nerf his jumpshot iirc
Real ones played 2k11 everything after was garbage and I would dominate you with 2011 hawks jcraw, starvin Marvin, joe Johnson, Jsmoove, big al
His ball handling is a thing of beauty. Love watching him play
