Dan Le Batard 0:43
You heard the sound Stugatz made when I said earlier this guy was coming on with us. It was just extraordinary enthusiasm. Yes, it was a bit lecherous, a little uncomfortable. I love this guy. Yeah, I know, but just sort of wanting because you were happy that he was coming on with us again. One of the greatest six men in the history of the league. He's a lead game analyst for NBC Sports. Coverage begins in October 2025 across NBC and Peacock. And the NBA play-in tournament starts tonight on TNT. I am mad at him. I have not told him this. There is a yeah, there's a war brewing between athletes and journalists in the media. And he went on with Lou Williams on the underground lounge and he gave up the goods to a teammate and friend and and colleague and didn't give us the story of the time that he lost a car gambling in Chicago. He knows that that's the story that I want. Right. He knows this and he goes with Lou Williams and he gives him the great story instead of us.

And look, he's nodding and he's like, yes, you're right to be furious at me. And hi, it's nice to see you again.
Jamal Crawford 1:48
Nice to see you as well, Dan. Thanks for the introduction. I appreciate it.
Dan Le Batard 1:52
I want to hear this story because it's such a good story, Jamal. The idea of getting to the league and losing a car gambling because things escalate and you don't know what you're doing, it's a funny way for a rookie to lose a car.
Jamal Crawford 2:08
Funny way and a way that you never expect, right? But for me, I got in over my head. I was like betting air money, shooting dice. And I'm thinking it's like, okay, it's a friendly competition. These numbers are getting so high. He doesn't really want this money, does he? Oh, he wanted the money. So I said, you know what? Instead of me getting that money as a rookie and not making much at that time, Would you take the car? He's like, yeah, I'll take the car. I'm like, oh, here, you can have it. Just let me take my basketball out of it. That's what I learned, not to gamble outside of actual casinos.
Dan Le Batard 2:39
But how does that happen? It seems to me your entire career that you've seemed savvy.
Jamal Crawford 2:46
Yeah. No, but you know what? You can't have a testimony without being tested. So I had to go through it. I wasn't always this savvy, Dan. I had to learn, and that was a school of hard knocks of learning for sure. But coming in the league, 19, 20 years old, you know, you're around all this. It's new to you. You think you can kind of hang and hang around and do things you were doing as a kid. Well, these are grown men, and you're still a kid, and you have to start thinking. uh like a more mature young man instead and i learned that day and never did it again so now it's a lesson you know i tell young players coming to the league but he made sure he got the basketball dan because he's a professional scorer that's right it is such it's such a good touch to make sure can i just have the ball

in in the east uh it's i think the only interesting series maybe i have this wrong is nick's pistons but it seems like all the scary stuff the fun stuff the drama stuff is going to be all out west we're about to all be very tired with what happens in the nhl and nba playoffs because uh the the games the games out west which is the one that you're most interested in who
Jamal Crawford 3:54
I think I like the Lakers Minnesota series. Just from a standpoint, we know what LeBron and Luka bring to the table, but they've never been down this road together with each other. You know, so there'll be moments in the game where I'm sure they're both used to taking it over. It may be moments that kind of overlap. They'll have to figure that stuff out. They're playing well right now. And J.J. Reddick's done an unbelievable job. Austin Reed's been balling. I think he gives balance to their team as well. But Minnesota is just so fearless and he's such a competitor. And we know what they were doing last year at this time. So for me, I think, you know, sorry about that. That was good work. That was good hands. I got quick hands.
