When Lou Williams won the Sixth Man of the Year award this year, he tied Crawford's record for the same honor. Jamal is an ageless wonder that continues to be a walking-talking bucket maker for 19 seasons now.

Amongst all active players, he is sixth in minutes played with a whopping 38,988 to his name as he averages 14.6 ppg coming off the bench throughout his career. This past season, Crawford saw his scoring numbers drop to a career-low of 7.9 points as he clocked just above 18 minutes per contest. However, his 3.6 assists per game were the highest in 10 years from when he was the leading guy for the Knicks.

Despite the apparent rustiness, the 39-year-old still has enough miles left in his tires to be an integral part of whichever team (probably Sixers, Thunder, Nets, Lakers) chooses to pick him up this offseason.
