From the moment Jae Crowder put on a Celtics uniform, you just knew that the guy was going to play with absolutely everything he's got. Since coming to Boston last year, Crowder has been the most improved player on the team and one of the most important guys in the rotation. He's starting to garner a lot of attention around the league for being a hard-nosed "do anything it takes to win" guy.
Former NBA player and champion Shane Battier, who throughout his career was known as the ultimate defender and glue guy, had some high praise for Crowder, calling him one of the elite glue guys in the league.
