    Although Jamal Crawford is officially retired and currently employed as a member of TNT's NBA team, mainly as a color commentator, he's still got game. Crawford participated in the recent New York Knicks' alums and celebrity game. Although other athletes were on the court, Crawford stood out among some Knicks legends.

    Crawford played 299 games for the Knicks from 2004 to 2008. Although he spent more time with the Los Angeles Clippers, he averaged a career-high 17.6 points during his Knicks tenure. Even though he didn't play a single playoff game with the Knicks, he contributed dearly during an otherwise rough time in franchise history.

    Among New York legends like Latrell Sprewell and Allan Houston, other former players like Raymond Felton and Eddy Curry, Steve Novak joined a game with social media influencers.

    At 44, Crawford showcased why some fans say he deserves an NBA contract.

    On 1990s Knicks fan-favorite Houston, Crawford did a subtle between legs into a pull-up 3-point shot move. Known for elite ball-handling skills and microwave shot-making ability, it's no surprise Crawford has remnants of what he once was.

    Before Kyrie Irving, Crawford played like he had the ball on a yo-yo.

    Thankfully, the Knicks and their fan base have since recovered from the dark days of the mid-2000s. However, despite the unsuccessful era, Crawford provides years of entertainment for Knicks fans, instilling him as a franchise favorite 20 years later.

    Regarding Crawford making a run at another basketball season, maybe he's more comfortable on the sideline calling games.
