Jamal Crawford Nearly Put Rudy Gay on Injured Reserve With This Crossover

Jamal Crawford is known for his killer crossover (his twitter handle is @JCrossover for crying out loud) and last night he proved it's just as deadly as ever in his Clippers debut. Just watch what he does to poor Rudy Gay's ankle in this clip. I helpfully (and crudely) circled which ankle almost shatters. Make sure you have the audio on, because it sounds like all 19,000 people at Staples Center said 'OOOH!' in perfect unison.

Making matters worse for Gay, he even limps as he gets up from this total embarrassment. But hey, it's the NBA. Everyone gets dunked on, gets their ankles broken, or gets totally humiliated on a play every now and then.

Hard to believe, but this Crawford's 13th year in the league. He's bounced around a bit, he even played 28 games each for three different teams in the 2008-09 season. Crawford might be a great fit for the Clippers, and he showed it last night when h led them with 29 points off the bench in their season opening win.
