When I was younger, I used to always think making it to the NBA would be the coolest thing in the world. I’d dream about it every day.

I think when you’re starting you have more of a luxury. You know you’re going to play 33, 35, 37 minutes per game, so you can kind of feel the game out. When you come off the bench you have to be more in attack mode. You have to make something happen immediately. Jamal Crawford Read Quote
To me, the Northwest is the best. The air, it feels cleaner. The people are so nice and caring. Every time I fly in on a plane, I say, ‘I’m never leaving here.’ It’s just different. People who aren’t from here don’t get it. It just fits certain people. Jamal Crawford Read Quote
I used to sneak into the Forum to watch the Lake Show, when I lived in L.A. with my pop. I was born in Seattle, and for fourth, and fifth grade, I went to L.A., then I came back to Seattle and then back to L.A. for eighth, ninth, and 10th grade. But it was easy to sneak in the Forum, like really easy. Jamal Crawford Read Quote
I mean, the hardest thing to do, I think, in the NBA, is to put the ball in the hole. Jamal Crawford Read Quote
I have a T-shirt that says, ‘Ball is life.’ My wife says ‘That’s an understatement for you.’ Jamal Crawford Read Quote
