On March 6th, 2017, the heavens and lords of basketball brought the city of New Orleans a gift by the name of Jordan Crawford.
The Grand Rapids throwaway was everything the city was and has been. Celebrated when called upon, but a largely forgotten relic. At 28 years of age, many including Crawford himself believed his window to be closing. But in five short games on New Orleans, his play earns himself a contract and a new home.
The 6’5″ 195 pound “irrational confidence guy” has given the Pelicans more than 14.2 ppg. Those points come on 51 percent shooting and 52 percent from behind the arc.
