PHOENIX — Cameron Cox recently caught up with one of the greatest sixth men in NBA history.
Former Phoenix Suns guard Jamal Crawford talked about his "shoot it" comments to Chris Paul in Game 1, playing next to a young Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges and Deandre Ayton back in 2019 and stealing a play from Monty Williams for his son’s team.
Crawford recently retired after a 20-year NBA career, finishing 19th in NBA history with 1,327 games and a 14.6 career scoring average.
In April 2019, the 42-year-old became the oldest player to score 50-points in a game when he scored 51 for the Suns.
The Suns take on the Pelicans in Game 2 of the NBA Playoffs on Tuesday night.
