Jamal Crawford is always a solid choice to talk to because he’s been around the game for so long. It’s safe to say he knows a thing or two after 19-years in the league and he’s showing no signs of slowing down any time soon. He’s the veteran guy mentoring not only the young players but also other veteran players like Jimmer Fredette.
“Go shoot,” Crawford tells Jimmer. “Go 0-10. Go 0-8. I’d rather him do that than go 0-1. He’s the guy, he’s a torch. He can get going. That’s energy for your team so I told him not to lose that no matter what.
