Joe Crawford wants to be the most well known ref in the history of the NBA. He's on his way there, but not for the reason he thinks.

He's a troll, I have no problem with calling a game tight if you think is getting out of hand, but the ejections were unnecessary. Just call CP3 for a loose ball foul. That ish was bush league but not worth ejecting. Game was done anyways. No idea what Z-Bo did to get tossed...but it just seemed like selfish power move.

He's been a major complaint from every fanbase for multiple years. No one understand how he still has a job.

Must be some union thing, or something.

Any time you know a referee's name it's guaranteed that he is either very bad or controversial. Off the top of my head I can only name one ref in NBA and that is Joey Crawford.

Mike Breen is insufferable when talking about the refs. First he says that Crawford is one of the best refs in the league, and then goes on to defend Crawfords T's against Duncan. Even more amazing is his justification for the foul call against Oberto at the end. He is such a shill for the league.

Yeah i'm not sure why he's remained in the league for so long...

I remember this one. And in the playoffs, which is just ridiculous.

Whenever I start a game and I see that he's officiating, I instantly give up all hope of the game being a fun watch. You just know Joey's gonna make his mark eventually-- and he usually does.

And thanks to his ridiculous calls, people are going to continue wondering about referee gambling/conspiracies. I have no idea how the league thinks it's okay to keep him employed. He's bad for the league in every way.

Joey Crawford loves the attention like all trolls do.

That looked like a dirty play from Chris Paul to be honest. Him and Gasol have been getting into it all season, I think he intentionally did that. What other reason did he have to run straight into Gasol?

I like Joey Crawford.

He makes the game interesting to watch in a league where referees have no personality.

That makes you a fan of drama and not of basketball, which is fine but soap operas have their own network. There is never a case were the ref should even be noticed.
