Lore & Background
Crawford is the second player in NBA history to have scored 10,000+ career points off the bench. He was once the NBA’s all-time leader in career four-point plays. On April 9, 2019, he became not only the oldest player to score 50+ points in an NBA game, but also the first player to have 50-point outings with four franchises. The 51-point tally also reached the most points ever scored by a reserve. In NBA history, Crawford ranks 30th with four 50+ point games accrued (tied with 11 others, including George Mikan and Larry Bird) and 13th all-time in career three-point field goals made (2,221).
