When his NBA prospects dried up, Jordan Crawford went to China. The man they call "Steezus" was always an explosive streak scorer, but was best known for putting up points on bad teams. For whatever reason, teams failed to think he was worth keeping around. Given the kind of scoring issues some teams have, his latest performance in China is probably worth taking note.
In the video below, there's no rim protection. No one can challenge Crawford on the perimeter, not even for a second. He's recklessly, unconscionably gunning. Who cares?
The man scored 72 points in a game. Even in the lesser CBA, that's some awesome gunning. Behold, the Steezus Cometh:
Look, I get team concepts and defense, chemistry and commitment to winning principles, all of that. However, any dude who can put up 72, even in the CBA, deserves a look from the worst offensive teams in the league. The Sixers, Grizzlies, and Nets need to think about bringing Crawford over when the CBA season ends in March. Good grief.
