NBA Q&A: Jordan Crawford

Q: Everyone remembers you for the dunk you had on LeBron at his summer camp when you were in college. Do you still have people talk to you about that?

A: That's all they ever say. That's all they talk about. Still, yeah. I think my people was more excited than me, my family. It got my name out there, and then it carried on through the season, so that was good. It never was a big deal to me. It never was.

Q: You transferred to Xavier, what was that experience for you?

A: It was a good experience. They brought me in from Indiana. They didn't have a scholarship, but they gave me one, so from there on, it was just they gave me something, and I wanted to give back whatever I could on the court.

Q: Did you develop any love for Ohio in your time at Xavier? I know you're from Detroit, so I assume that's hard.

A: Yeah, not really.

Q: What do you miss about living in Detroit?

A: Everything. Just the life, the grind. Just the people. The uncertainty. All that. I miss all that.

Q: You've already played for three teams in the NBA -- Atlanta, Washington and now Boston. Why do you think that's happened?

A: That's just the route God put me in to travel. Learn a lot. I kind of got the basketball down, now I've just got to learn the business. I think that's what God has tested me with and I continue to learn from him and follow him.
