Jordan Crawford Scored 72 Points in a Game in China
By Tully Corcoran
Jordan Crawford is going to get off these shots, man.
Last seen averaging 8.4 points per game for the 2013-14 Golden State Warriors, Crawford now plays for Tianjin Ronggang in the Chinese Basketball Association. In a recent game, he managed to get up 52 field goals and 20 free throws, scoring 72 points in a losing effort.
Though Crawford averaged just 12 points per game in the NBA, there have been some signs he might be capable of this sort of thing. In April of 2014, he scored 41 points for the Warriors in a win over the Nuggets, and he had 39 for the Wizards in a 2011 loss to Miami.
He’s still just 27 years old, so getting back into the NBA is well within the realm of possibility — assuming he’s willing to to give up the rock from time to time.
