Nobody in the NBA brings me more pure joy than Jamal Crawford. That clip is what every game looks like in basketball heaven. The sequence about at 1:35 is like pure heroin.
Obviously Durant is part of what makes that clip so perfect, but we’ve talked plenty about what makes Durant great, so let’s focus on Crawford for a minute. Endless impossible floaters, spin moves into fadeaway 20-footers, and rainbow 3s. There’s nothing better than watching a guy do the wrong thing, driving announcers and coaches insane … only having it work, so they can’t even get upset.
He does it all so consistently that announcers and coaches don’t even get mad anymore. They just watch him pull up off the dribble for a 26-foot 3 that arches 40 feet in the air, and … it doesn’t even matter if it goes in or not. Everybody just knows that’s Jamal Crawford’s game. We’ve all accepted it. That’s what you’re getting when you put him on the court. He’s got the best handle of anyone on the planet, he’s as quick as anyone on the floor, and he’ll take eight to 10 shots every game that make your head explode. And he’ll make half of them somehow.
We live in the analytics era of sports, with all kinds of advanced stats to explain what we’re watching and scold people for bad strategy, and that makes every night of Jamal Crawford glory twice as enjoyable. You know? [Censored] science, get the holy spirit in your life.
