An avowed gym rat, Crawford is famous for his year-round participation in pick-up games. Though he has a famously slick handle—his Twitter handle is @JCrossover—he has said he never did ball-handling drills and didn’t practice his shot much until 2012. A Seattle native, he is still living there with his family. A February trip with his 10-year-old son and nephew to a Shoot 360 gym in nearby Kirkland prompted him to become an investor in the company. Fellow NBA veterans Fred Jones and Rodney Stuckey already own and operate their own Shoot 360 gyms, which use shot-tracking technology and interactive video interfaces to engage fans in ball-handling and passing drills.

Jamal Crawford didn’t have a gym with interactive tools to help hone his basketball skills, but he wants his children – and others in the Seattle area – to have that advantage. Five years ago, the 19-year NBA veteran heard about Shoot 360, a gym concept employing technology to help improve basketball skills, from a friend while on a road trip. Crawford was tired and didn’t make the trip to check it out, but it stayed on his mind. “Fast-forward a few years, and I see everything they’ve been doing, and I see [former NBA player] Rodney Stuckey has one, so I took my son and nephew out there and didn’t tell him, and from the second I walked in, it was like basketball heaven,” he said.
