Creativity is one way to explain what Crawford did as soon as he got the ball in his hands. With Griffin trailing him, Crawford didn’t even take a dribble as he lofted the ball up with his right hand, brought it between his legs in midair before leaving it perfectly placed in front of the rim for Griffin. “I honestly didn’t know what I was going to do,” Crawford said. “We had a whole open court and the best jumper in the world right there and you might as well get creative. That’s something I’ve always wanted to do in a game or if I ever made the All-Star Game.” ESPN.com

“I honestly had no idea what he was going to do,” Griffin said, sounding similar to Crawford when describing the play. “I thought he was going to throw it off the backboard. Normally in situation like that you’re looking at each other like, ‘What are you going to do?’ But he didn’t even look back and I was just kind of stuck out there. And I saw him do his little between the legs and I’ve seen that before in practice so I just tried to finish.” ESPN.com

For leading Sixth Man of the Year candidate Jamal Crawford, it’s a no-brainer for the Clippers to stand pat. “No, we don’t want to make a trade,” said Crawford, averaging 17.1 points per game. “We are family and it would be like trading a family member.” HoopsHype

Of course in the NBA there is little room for sentimentality, although Crawford said he isn’t allowing emotion to cloud his opinion. “We don’t think there is one thing we need that is missing,” he said. “We have everything.” HoopsHype

The Clippers are making a push for reserve guard Jamal Crawford to make the Western Conference All-Star team as a reserve. The team has emailed information to the other 29 NBA coaches about Crawford's body of work this season. He is averaging 16.6 points per game this season, tied for second-best on the Clippers. Crawford also ranks in the top five in the NBA in plus-minus, top five in points scored in the fourth quarter and leads NBA reserves in games he has scored 20-plus points off the bench, according to the team. Crawford probably will get competition at the guard position from Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook, Houston's James Harden, Golden State's Stephen Curry and San Antonio's Tony Parker. Each of them starts for his team. Los Angeles Times
