I have one, and during these playoffs you will hear it,\u201d Crawford told NBC News last week when asked if he has prepared a signature call for the postseason. \u201cYou\u2019re the first person I\u2019m telling I have one. Not even Mike and Reggie know this. When you hear it, you\u2019ll know. I\u2019ll give you a little hint: You\u2019re going to hear something about a court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keen listeners may or may not know Crawford\u2019s catchphrase, but they are likely well aware of the enthusiasm he brings to the broadcast. After a long, storied career in which he played for nine teams, Crawford dipped his toe into the media waters beginning in 2021, calling games for NBA League Pass.<\/p>\n<p>He joined TNT as a studio analyst in 2022 and eventually started calling select games in the booth for MSG Network in 2024 as part of the <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/nba\/teams\/new-york\/\" data-i13n=\"sec:content-canvas;subsec:anchor_text;elm:context_link\" data-ylk=\"slk:New York Knicks;sec:content-canvas;subsec:anchor_text;elm:context_link;itc:0\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;New York Knicks&quot;,&quot;ySubModuleName&quot;:&quot;anchor_text&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">New York Knicks<\/a>\u2019 local broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>When the NBA returned to NBC this season, Crawford joined as one of the lead analysts. He hit it off with Tirico and Miller instantly. Within a half of calling a preseason game together, he says, the trio already felt connected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReggie is a legend. I still learn and steal from him. Mike is the ultimate point guard. He sets everybody else up first, but he knows when to do his filay layup,\u201d Crawford said. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to sit with those guys, but we have a good crew all over the place.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"content-figure\">\n<div class=\"content-image\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"lightbox-btn\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"lightbox-expand\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" class=\"lightbox-overlay\" aria-modal=\"true\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"fig-caption\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Calling games is just one of the ways Crawford remains close to the sport he loves. In addition to his work for NBC Sports, Crawford also narrates \u201cChasing History,\u201d a behind-the-scenes digital documentary produced by the NBA. Crawford travels with his microphone so he can record his voice-overs throughout the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be this close to the game is incredible,\u201d said Crawford, who also coaches AAU and works with college and pro players in the offseason. \u201cBut this brings a different connection. This, for me, is like what I heard in my childhood when Marv Albert was on a call, or Bob Costas, or Ahmad Rashad. I take such pride in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crawford, a self-described basketball nerd, said he\u2019s having so much fun calling games that he often finds himself having to tone it down during the broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m coming straight from like, \u2018Yo, I\u2019m a fan. We are at the bar, I\u2019m having my Sprite lemonade.\u2019 I\u2019m truly a fan of the game in the purest, truest sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once the second round ends, Crawford will shift his attention to the Western Conference finals, which will be broadcast on NBC. Asked whom he\u2019d like to see in the NBA Finals, Crawford said he\u2019s curious what Madison Square Garden would sound like in the championship round. Crawford played for the Knicks from 2004 to 2009, a period when they never made the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeeing the Knicks reach the Finals would be crazy. I know that fan base. They made it feel like the playoffs when we were terrible when I played there every single night. So I couldn\u2019t imagine what Finals is like in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This article was originally published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/sports\/nba\/jamal-crawford-nbc-rcna345023\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:NBCNews.com;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;NBCNews.com&quot;}\" class=\"link\">NBCNews.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/jamal-crawford-tone-down-excitement-115646713.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Jamal Crawford is about to tell you, he hasn\u2019t even told his broadcast partners Mike Tirico and Reggie Miller yet.
