OFFICIAL DTB ANNOUNCEMENT: At age 37, Jamal Crawford is officially enough of a scrub to be on my channel. Realistically, he hasn’t been anywhere near star-level for a few years now, but there’s sometimes a year or two-year lag in me revising my criteria (see: Dirk Nowitzki). I have intermittenly made Crawford videos since my channel’s inception, but never with any consistency, only when I felt like it (which was rarely).
To be honest, I’ve never been a Crawford fan. The concept of having a sixth-man who comes off the bench and chucks horrible shots is overrated. No championship team in recent memory has relied on a Jamal Crawford or Monta Ellis type player to score significant amounts of the team’s points. It is my personal belief that those 50-win Clippers teams succeeded in spite of Crawford, not because of him. So that might explain why I have been reluctant to make Crawford a consistent part of my channel’s lineup. Also, for a while, GD’s highlights was making Crawford videos, like, very first thing after he would have a good game, so there was no point.
