Not asking who was better, just if you can imagine a logically sound argument for Crawford in this.
I don't.

there is no intelligent pro-Crawford argument at all, no.

It'd be impossible to make it sound intelligent.

Crawford was way worse but more durable, so at least your (lower) expectations would had less of a chance to be crushed by an untimely injury... maybe? I guess...?
Speaking seriously, no.

Crawford is better if you're the 2015 Sixers

using the Kobe standard of points scored in your last NBA game, this is Crawford by a mile. Or would have been had he not played 6 minutes for Brooklyn the next year..... My lasting memory of him will always be that sheepish look on his face when he almost ruined Dirk's last home game by dropping 50 for the Suns in a meaningless game.
That and of course, this guy just loved basketball the way fans always claim to want guys to love it. This is a guy who I seriously believe would have played if you paid him $40k. And I expect well into his 60's he's still going to be giving guys buckets wherever he can find a game.
He's no Manu of course, but this guy was a joy. And doesn't he hold the record for most 4 point plays by like a mile?

He also has a great reputation as a human being, so if you made this ginobili vs crawford comparision on who was the nicer guy off court it would be an actual close debate

You could if it is two novice fans who love basketball but don't get or haven't been exposed to the nuances of the games. Once you reach a certain level of knowledge no.

You know it is Manu but I want to give some love to Crawford here, the guy played 19 years. He found a niche as a scorer off the bench. Was he efficient, heck no… but he was always in shape, a great teammate everywhere he went. I remember the whole talk of Jay Williams being better than him but honestly I doubt he would have been better than Crawford with the one season that he showed with the Bulls. If Crawford was in his prime, someone would want to throw 100 million to him for the simple fact that he can get buckets.

This is 30-0, now.
I knew this was the wrong place, but I started this because of what Arenas said a few weeks ago.
