9 teams wandered + 3 times over six! Crawford s 19-year NBA career, played 80 games at his peak and scored 20.6 points!
On the 2000 draft night, when Stern announced that the Cavaliers selected Jamal Crawford with the No. 8 pick, Chicago Bulls general manager Klaus immediately called the phone - exchanged No. 7 pick Chris Meeme + 3 million cash for the thin defender. This seemingly ordinary deal kicked off the prelude to the most gorgeous wandering epic in NBA history.
Four years in Chicago, Crawford transformed from a rookie with 4.6 points per game to a 17.3-point lead scorer. The cross-step against the Wizards in 2003 knocked down Jordan, making the United Center sounded MVP calls for him for the first time. But the dismal record of missing the playoffs for four consecutive years led the management to make a decision in the summer of 2004 - after signing a 7-year, 56 million contract with him, immediately packed it to New York, in exchange for four players with expired contracts including Mutombo. This operation cleared the Bulls 46 million in salary space, but also gave up the best sixth man in the future.
, Crawford, wearing the Knicks' jersey, became a street art master at Madison Garden with an average of 17.7 points per game. In 2007, he scored 52 points in a single game against the Heat, including 16 consecutive shots in the fourth quarter, setting a record for the NBA's final quarter score (24 points). However, the team's peak record of 33 wins and Marbury's backcourt combination could not escape the curse of failure. In 2008, the Warriors only used Al Harrington to take him under his command - at this time, 28-year-old Crawford had already started Journey to the West with the "Data Brush" tag.
During the Warriors' bad season, he was pressed on the bench to witness the growth of young players until the Hawks rescued him with two supporting players. Atlanta became a turning point holy place - he turned to a substitute and won the first sixth man with 18 points and 3 assists, and finally entered the playoffs after ten years of hard work. When he joined the Clippers in 2012, the 34-year-old signed a four-year contract of 21.7 million, and won three more than six in this period, including 18.6 points in the 2013-14 season. When he hit the 37th "four points" against the Jazz in 2016, the figure was 15 more than the second in history.
was sued after being sent back to the Hawks by the Clippers at the age of 37. The Timberwolves used 8.9 million to gamble for the last light - in 2018, the substitute against the Suns scored 28 points, and the key drop-offs were locked in the playoff spot. In 2019, he scored 51 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the Suns' jersey, setting a record of 50+ years old that Jordan held at the age of 39 and 20 days. Although the redemption opportunity given by the Nets in 2020 is short, it makes him the only Miracle Mr. in history to win 50+ in the four teams.
Looking at his 19-year career, the chips paid by each team to get him are a cost-effective miracle:
Bulls: No. 7 Mime + 3 million cash (2000)
Knicks: Mutombo and others expired contracts (2004)
Warriors: Al Harrington (2008)
Hawks: Asi Law + Clarkston (2009)
Clippers: Free signing (2012)
Timberwolves: 8.9 million in 2 years (2017)
Suns: 2.4 million in 1 year (2018)
When he announced his retirement in 2022, the paradox of his wingspan of 2.08 meters but never being selected as an All-Star is a wonderful metaphor for his career - this bench poet who wrote 4 times of 50+, 3 super six trophys, and 1,274 three-pointers in 19 years has always danced the most gorgeous solo dance between superstars and character players. As he wrote in his autobiography Crossover: "I never had a home court, but every away court became my stage. "
