Jamal Crawford was easily one of the most liked and adored players when he was in the NBA. While he wasn't a superstar, he was a walking bucket and many felt like he was severely underappreciated during his time in the league. His last game in the league took place back in 2020 as he was playing for the Nets, and since that time, he has been chilling at home, waiting on his next move.
Well, yesterday, Crawford celebrated his 42nd birthday, and soon after the celebrations died down, he decided to take to Twitter with a message for his fans. Essentially, Crawford is officially done with the game of basketball, and now, he will spend the rest of his time with his family.
