For the majority of Jamal Crawford’s time as an LA Clipper, he would singlehandedly bring the crowd to its feet.

The former Sixth Man of the Year award winner would saunter his way to the scorers’ table after being called upon by coach Doc Rivers, where he would patiently wait to check in. Once he was on the court, Crawford danced with the ball, routinely crossing defenders over before scoring buckets.

In five seasons, Crawford averaged 15.3 points per game and has openly discussed in the past how much he enjoyed his time underneath the bright lights in LA. While Crawford has nothing but fond memories while donning the white and red uniform, the Clippers team success and his individual accolades, aren’t what brings the biggest smile to his face.

No, when asked about his greatest moment as a Clipper, Crawford points to their monumental victory over their hated rival.

During the 2014 postseason, the Golden State Warriors were finally coming into their own. As a team, they netted 51 victories and Stephen Curry was selected to his first All-Star Game.

LA’s faithful came out in droves in Game 7, as the Clippers went on to win by five points. Unsurprisingly, since it is his favorite memory, Crawford showed out in a major way, scoring 22 points on 58.3% from the field while nailing half of his 3-point attempts.

The Clippers would eventually go on to lose in the Western Conference Semis against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Putting that disappointment aside, the newly retired Crawford views their Game 7 triumph over their Bay Area rivals as his greatest triumph in a Clipper uniform.
