Wherever I go, I have a basketball with me. I used to dribble a basketball down the street to the movie theater, to the mall.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I think my brand is just being authentic and being me. Everybody goes right, I go left.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I've been scoring a lot longer than I haven't been in my life, so I can deal with the ups and downs of it.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I'm not the person that when he has an off shooting game is going to make excuses.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
When you are a rookie you are going through everything for the first time, your first DNP, your first not seeing eye to eye with a coach, first understanding trades happen, guys making more money play more. I was overwhelmed. I had a lot of maturing to do.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
Career wise, consistency is one of the keys to longevity. When you are consistent people know what they are going to get, and that's the foundation for having a long career.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
Obviously you want to play hard all the time, but at different moments of the game you step it up even more.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I've never made an All-Star Game, but I've always had my peers' and coaches' respect around the league.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I think my style of play, not drinking, I think I'm a product of clean living. I don't drink, don't smoke.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I have to pray before I play, and I gotta eat right before I go out there. For a while when I was younger, I would always eat chicken tenders and fries no matter what.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
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.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
Back when I was a freshman-sophomore in high school, I was saying that I was going to Michigan once I saw the Fab Five come through - I was just mesmerized.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
When you're in high school and you win the state championship, there's no better feeling.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I used to collect trading cards. I could tell you about any player, because I collected cards.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
A prodigy to me is someone that is enormously gifted at a young age - to the point that people can't deny it. I think when you are a young kid and you are a prodigy, other parents, when their child is on your team, they aren't even mad that their kid isn't getting the shine because that other kid is special.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I was born to play basketball. There's no question about it. That's it. And I'm saying this in my humblest opinion, I do feel that I was born to play this game. I breathe it, I live it.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I remember when I was 8 years old when I first started playing organized basketball, and the coaches had the kids in single file doing two-line layups and they were struggling to get the ball up there. Me, I'm doing reverse cradle layups with the backhand spins on it, like, jump from the right side and lay it up on the left side backwards.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
Obviously, having your peers' respect is everything. I learned that a long time ago: that some people see you one way, some people see you another way, but having your peers' respect is what's really important.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I like the fact that when I check in the game, the other players start getting nervous. The other team gets nervous. I like that.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
When you bring one of your top scorers, your top players off the bench, it really gives your team balance.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
As I've grown in the league and in life, having my kids around and seeing their growth and development is special and it's something I wouldn't trade for all the jobs in the world.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
It's always special when my kids come to my games. It changes everything. You know they're there watching and you know how excited they are to see you on the court.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
If you put it in perspective, I loved basketball before I loved everything else, you know what I mean? Before I had a girlfriend or even childhood friends, I had my basketball. So it's my first love.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I think being a championship-contending team, you have to have a championship-level coach to take you over the top.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I'm always entrenched in the community. I'm always working with the high schoolers, no matter what school they're at. I'm always in my community.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
The Knicks were one of my favorite places to play - just the energy of the New York fans in general is amazing.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I mean, a guy can get 20 points a game. But if you are not winning, who's really paying attention? It's like, 'yeah, his game is nice. But I need to see him do it when it counts, when it really matters and something is on the line.'
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I feel like part of the reason I play basketball so much is it just feels good. In the summer I play every single day.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I have a T-shirt that says, 'Ball is life.' My wife says 'That's an understatement for you.'
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
It doesn't matter if it's one person in the gym or 10,000, I've always played to win.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
You look at my career, when the fit was right, I contributed on the court.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
You know when you put two great players together, you're going to have to work through some things.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
Like, I don't do drills at all. I think that's why a lot of people who handle the basketball, I think mine looks different. You know, 'cause I've never done a drill. I've never done 'get to a chair and go through your legs,' or 'get to a spot and a cone and go through your legs or behind your back.'
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
When I was in college going through the draft process my dad was like, 'Hey Michael Jordan loves your game,' I'm like dad? This is before social media; this is before any of that so I'm like, 'Dad, get out of here, there's no way you can know that Michael Jordan likes my game.'
