Jamal Crawford – who has gotten buckets for eight teams across 19 seasons during 1,313 career games – has so many moves he forgets them sometimes. That’s why he watches his own highlights: not for self-confidence, not for hubris, not for vanity. He simply forgets.



“(That’s) the way my mind works, for whatever reason,” Crawford says. “I’ll do a certain pattern of moves over a time period, so I’ll just go back and look at what I was doing in (another) time period, and why I was doing it, and try to steal from myself and incorporate it today.”



This means Crawford goes way back, back to Chicago, the team that drafted him decades ago, or New York, where he averaged nearly 18 points per game in his mid-20s. “I hate watching the mixes or the moves that everybody puts out recently,” he says. “I’ll go back to archive stuff.”
