If and when the NBA season resumes, there will be a lot to figure out in regards to how much of the regular season will be played and how the playoff format will be adjusted. For teams in search of help, one notable veteran remains unsigned and is eager to help.
Jamal Crawford has made it known he wants to resume playing and continues to stay prepared with that goal in mind, as he told ESPN’s Kenny Mayne on SportsCenter on Friday.
“I’ve been training as if I’m playing…Hopefully, I’ll get another chance to get back out there,” Crawford said, repeating his statement from November in which he was “baffled.”
Crawford, 40, spent last season in an uneven role with the Suns, averaging 7.9 PPG in 64 games, his lowest average since his rookie campaign. However, he did score 51 points in the season’s final game. The three-time Sixth Man of the Year had spent five of the prior six campaigns as a reliable bench weapon for the Clippers.
In his career, Crawford has also suited up for the Bulls, Knicks, Warriors, Hawks and Blazers.
If there is anyone who could play well into their 40’s it’s him.
He doesn’t look 40 at all
He plays defense like he is 80,
His problem is that all he can do is shoot, but everyone in the league can shoot, so with his skill set I think he is done, happy retirement!
I bet he’s still got handles. In his prime one of the best handles I ever seen
