Crawford officially announced his retirement...
Yes, Crawford has not been in the NBA for a while, but has not officially retired.
Crawford was selected by the Cavaliers with the 8th pick in the first round in 2000, and his career was long enough.
Yesterday, Crawford just finished his 42nd birthday, and it is estimated that his birthday is over, and he feels that it is time to retire.
Other people's retired official propaganda articles are at least a few hundred words of various lyrical long articles, and Crawford wrote 2 sentences.
“ Goodbye to the game, all the spoils the adrenaline rush.”
(Goodbye to the field, goodbye to all the honors and that adrenaline rush.) ）
Thank you basketball, I owe you everything …..
(Thank you basketball, it was you who gave me everything.) ）
This official announcement of retirement is very much in line with his entire style, and it is simply not long-winded.
Looking at the 2000 draft now, it's really a bit of a century apart.
Crawford was the last to announce retirement in the 2000 draft, and if Motomiya remembers correctly, the last to announce retirement in this year was Mike Miller, which was already in 2018.
Kenjan Martin announced his retirement in 2015...
Not to mention the 2000 draft, the rookies of 2001 have all retired from the NBA, and there is no one left in the class of 2002.
However, Jamal Crawford, many people even think he can play another game this summer, even the Lakers and Nets lack guard that will, the first thing that comes to mind is Crawford.
This big brother career is really legendary and great enough!
Crawford has won three best 6th man in his career, in 2010, 2014 and 2016.
His total scores on the bench ranked No. 2 in NBA history, starting with another legendary bench player, Louis Williams.
At the same time, Crawford is also the only 8 players in the NBA's long history who can play in the NBA for 20 seasons. The remaining 7 are Skyhook, Robert Parrish, Kevin Willis, Moses Malone, Garnett, Kobe and Carter.
Many people think that Crawford actually has the ability to play the starting line, but this guy has been very happy to stay on the bench. If others feel that they are particularly capable and then put on the bench, they are somewhat uncomfortable, but Crawford does not, and he likes to play on the bench very much.
Key Crawford did not start as a substitute, and he was also a full-fledged starter in his career. So adapting to the replacement status so smoothly is really admirable.
At the peak of Crawford's career, he started in the Knicks (2007-08), and averaged 20.6 points, 2.5 boards and 5 assists per game, and the 20 points of that era were not the 20 points of today.
As a result, after 2 years, Crawford became a complete substitute in the Eagles in 2009-2010, and averaged 18 points and 2.5 assists and 3 boards per game.
This year, the Lakers did not toss less on the question of whether Wei Shao was playing a substitute. It's because players with a little bit of ability are reluctant to play as a substitute, let alone stars.
It's really not easy for a player to go from starting to coming off the bench and then coming off the bench.
The question is, who do you think the greatest sixth man in NBA history is?
