Jamal Crawford is an American professional basketball player who played last for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
His NBA debut in 2000 was for the Chicago Bulls, who had acquired him from the Cavaliers on draft day. He would later suit up for the Knicks and Warriors, Hawks and Blazers, Clippers, Timberwolves, and Suns. Having earned NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2010, in 2014, and again in 2016, Crawford was the first three-time winner of the award. He is regarded as among the best ball handlers in NBA history. Jamal Crawford remains the NBA all-time leader in four-point plays, with 55 or 60 counting in the playoffs. As recently as April 9, 2019, Crawford (39 years, 20 days) became the oldest player to score 50+ points in a game, as well as the first to do so with four different franchises. Further, the 51-point tally reached the most points ever scored by a player not in the starting lineup. In NBA history, he ranks 21st with four 50+ point games accrued (tied with 9 others among George Mikan and Larry Bird) and 8th in career three-point field goals made (2,220). Crawford is the second player in NBA history to have scored 10,000+ career points off the bench.
