The once unbeatable Super Six won't be on the NBA stage. March 20, Beijing time is the birthday of former NBA star Crawford, who announced his official retirement tonight, that is, March 21, US time. Crawford has won numerous honors and achievements in the NBA for so long, he is the best sixth man in the three-time NBA, and although he has rarely played as a starter in his career, he has shown amazing scoring ability. He was the first player in the NBA to score 50 points on four different teams and the oldest player in NBA history to score 50 points. He surpassed the famous Michael Jordan.
In addition, Crawford was the NBA's most played 3+1 player before Harden came out. He was the second player to score 1,000 three-pointers as a substitute after Dell Curry. We have so many memories of Crawford and so much to say. There won't be a player like him in the NBA in the future. Crawford has a very special temperament, we can say that self-confidence can also be said to be arrogant. He has solid basketball offensive skills, his footsteps break through the rhythm of the shooting feel is impeccable, and there is a kind of street ball bells and whistles and freeness.
Crawford was an out-and-out creator, such as his signature back-pulling basket that many people imitated. His signature dry-pull shot is even more enviable by many people, and once Crawford gets into the form of defense, it is simply impossible. His shots are already high, and he can't get in to see how he feels. In fact, with Crawford's strength, there is no problem in starting in a weak team.
Crawford was also a killer, and in the final moments of the game the team always put him on the field, he hit a lot of key goals. He met with the Blood Seal Marquis without wasting any chance. Crawford averaged nearly 21 points per game for a career high, averaging no less than 19 points per game for four consecutive seasons. Later in his career, Crawford chose to play as a substitute, first to cater to the team and second to help the team win. Crawford, the player's shortcomings are obvious, he plays point guard without strong organization, playing point guard without better defense. He also had to share the ball with the core players of the team to start. Therefore, playing as a substitute maximizes his power. He was more efficient and in shape after switching to the bench, performing well with both the Hawks and Clippers. At the end of his career, he was still able to contribute to the bench.
The last game of Crawford's career is worth remembering, when Crawford played for the Suns at the age of 39, but he broke out unexpectedly. Crawford scored 51 points on 18-of-30 shooting in the game losing to the Lone Rangers, becoming the oldest player in NBA history to score 50 points. Crawford never appeared in the NBA again after that game, and perhaps scoring a 50-point mark was the best result of his career.
Crawford didn't make an All-Star or a championship in his career, but his career was an absolute success. His playing style has been learned and imitated by many people, and his strength has been recognized by many people. Even a sixth man he is great. A player with excellent personal ability and flamboyant style is unattainable, and Crawford is such a type. Gram 6 is far away from us, and future fans will probably only have to gather highlights to understand him. Dear readers, what do you think of Crawford's announcement of his retirement?
