Jamal Crawford: If LeBron is still Lakers' best player, I'd look at trading Anthony Davis

How did you and Austin Reaves form your bromance? D’Angelo Russell: I think we both honestly were caught in the pickle of how to play next to these guys. You have LeBron, Anthony Davis, and this Lakers whirlwind kind of haunting you always, good or bad, because you’ll be trending for something. When I got here, he was that fresh fruit that was kind of that golden child. I remember being that and going through the ups and downs. I always tried to take pride in preparing him for what was about to come next if I could and help him see what he was going through. We became fans of each other. I said, “You’re going to be here a long time, bro. You might as well take all this in.” I was preparing his mind for all of that. He had a heck of a summer and came in ready to continue to dominate the game. -via HoopsHype / March 28, 2024

What are your thoughts on Anthony Davis’ play this season and the injury-prone label he’s had? D’Angelo Russell: I think that’s a huge misconception. It does nothing but motivate him. I’ve never seen him take a game off defensively. He might not win the matchup, but he’s always there. There’s no night off defensively for him. That’s his bread and butter. I’ve seen him rise in the playoffs, where it’s a different level, and he dominates. I’ve always got his back in that sense. -via HoopsHype / March 28, 2024

Jamal Crawford to Stephon Marbury: “I’ve never said this publicly, but you’re the most talented player I’ve ever played with… you mean so much to so many people around the world, and we just love you to death. You’re one of those dudes who will live on forever, who you are as a person, obviously, but your game matches who you are as a person, and that is beyond anything.” -via YouTube / March 13, 2024

Jamal Crawford: Being in the gym over these last few months in national games- watching, listening, talking to, hearing.. There is alot wrong with AAU. BUT the PARENTS are near the top of the list. It’s sickening. The delusion that exist is crazy. If we’re always making excuse’s for our children’s behavior where it has to be someone else’s fault, and we’re not teaching them accountability, we’re setting them up to fail. If we’re always criticizing a coach or program who is given their own time to benefit YOUR child’s development and well being, and that’s not enough, you should coach them to give them all you want them to have. As parents we have to be better. Looking back when I played AAU, the thing I take the most pride in, is my mom or dad NEVER complained to one coach I ever played for from 8 years old on. They said “you want all the things you say you want, figure it out and go get better looking back, I wear that with pride.. -via Twitter @JCrossover / March 5, 2024
