Jamal Crawford tricked defender with a sweet fake behind-the-back crossover
Jamal Crawford went crazy at the Seattle Pro-Am again. The 36-year-old NBA vet sent one defender flying to the floor, and he made another angry as he shook him with a fake behind-the-back crossover. Ballislife shared clips of the two slick moves.
Here's the behind-the-back fake. It appears that the guy on defense was convinced Crawford carried the ball over or did something illegal. It looked fine to me -- in fact, it looked awesome. They don't call him J. Crossover for nothing.
Here's the stop and fake that sent a defender sliding. Notice how Crawford looks back at the man on the floor, pulls up for a jumper, then gets the and-one. It's too easy.
If you still want to see more highlights, you're in luck. Ball Don't Stop cut a three-minute reel. Enjoy.
