I tell kids to be as passionate about your education as you are about anything else in life.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I always say in my tweets, don't do something for credit. Do it because it's the right thing to do.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I don't take time off. If you've been out of a house for six months and then you come back in and you turn the light on, it might explode. It isn't used to be used. I keep my energy going. It's not a shock to the body when I start playing again. I don't have to 'get in shape.'
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I'm not a fan of analytics. When I was a kid, I couldn't tell you what percentage Allen Iverson shot, or Michael Jordan.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I would get mad if Kobe was like, 'I'm not going to shoot that much tonight.' No, no, no, that's your gift. The people want to see you do what you're going to do.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
Whenever I retire, I'll still be playing the game, whether that's at an L.A. Fitness or somewhere else.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
It's weird watching games and being apart from it but seeing teams that could use you in certain situations. You see where you could help different clubs in different ways.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
The love of playing trumps all of that, to be honest with you. Even the day I retire, I'll still be playing somewhere.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I think if you're in love, you're willing to do anything that comes with it.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
As long as you can worry about the stuff you can control, that's always best for you.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
Playing shooting guard is different. On defense you have to chase guys around more. On the point I'm just guarding guys on top.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I'm not talking about any one team but everyone knows how I feel about New York. I really enjoyed my time there.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
When you're in love with it you're willing to do whatever it takes, whether be it cold tubs, or massages, acupuncture, whatever it might be. I think when you love the game purely all those things you're willing to do is sacrifice.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
Shooters shoot. The worst thing a shooter can do is think. That's the best defense out there.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I think there's a role for everybody. Even a guy who's not known as a scorer, like a DeAndre Jordan - he sets the best screens, he blocks the most shots, he gets the most rebounds, he's great for your team, he helps you win games. Like, he helps you win big.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I don't have to play just against NBA guys. No, I'll play anywhere, anytime.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I mean, the hardest thing to do, I think, in the NBA, is to put the ball in the hole.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I don't want people to receive me because I scored 20 points. I want it to be because I made an impression on them that lasts forever.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
Honestly, I want to be known as a great ball player, but it's more important for me to be known as a good person. Like seriously, the greatest gift you have as a person is to give something to somebody else.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
To me, the Northwest is the best. The air, it feels cleaner. The people are so nice and caring. Every time I fly in on a plane, I say, 'I'm never leaving here.' It's just different. People who aren't from here don't get it. It just fits certain people.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I've always loved coach Brett Brown. I've been on record. I've been a fan of his for years.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I've been blessed enough where all the rules that come with age don't apply to me. People were saying I was old at 32.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I don't want to go to a team that's only won a few amount of games, but it doesn't have to be a contender.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
You know, my first nine years I only played for two teams, Chicago and New York. And the only reason I got traded from New York was the 2010 free agency period, when they had a chance to sign LeBron and D-Wade and that whole class, and I understood that. But from there it's kind of been a roller coaster.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
The goal is to win a championship, but when you win and you play pretty well, and you start hearing 'All-Star' and 'Sixth Man.' That's really unbelievable.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
When you have a guy like Chris Paul, who's the best point guard in the world, saying I should be an All-Star, and other coaches and players coming up to me and saying I should be an All-Star, it's an unbelievable compliment.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I'm into people, especially kids and making sure they have a fair shake and making sure they reach their potential. So that's important to me.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
The NBA makes you become a bigger version of what you already were. If you were somebody who was not so nice and you came into a lot of money and fame, then you're probably going to abuse that in the wrong way. But if you come into those things and you were doing the right things, then chances are you're going to do more of the right things.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I was always a giver by nature. I wanted to make sure the person next to me or maybe even the person I don't know didn't go without if I could help it. That's always been in me.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
When I was younger, I used to always think making it to the NBA would be the coolest thing in the world. I'd dream about it every day. But as you progress and you attain that goal, then you realize the coolest thing is the effect you can have on people, and kids especially.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
No matter what the trends are in the NBA - teams going big, going small, getting more efficient with analytics - the ability for a player to create his own shot, then convert tough shots, will always be a weapon, particularly when you get to the playoffs.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
One of my big influences as a young player was Allen Iverson. All I wanted to do was the left-to-right crossover, because that's the one he was doing most.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
There are basically five ways to score in the half court. Layups, mid-range, three-pointers, free throws - and then what I call 'tough shots.' Tough shots come anywhere on the floor, under difficult circumstances. The ability to create that shot is a special skill in the NBA.
Quote by -Jamal Crawford
I feel like I can get any shot I want. That's not to sound cocky or conceited. It's because I've played basketball basically every day of my life. So at some point, I've taken just about every shot there is. I've figured out the angles, almost like a pool shark. I know where to use the glass, which dribble I need and which spot I want to reach.
