05, May 26th News Former NBA player Jordan Crawford was a podcast on Arenas and talked about his short Warriors career (the second half of the 2013-14 season).

It was a season before the Warriors won the championship. Speaking of the atmosphere of the Warriors at that time, Crawford said: "It was only the second year of his career, and he was leading the team to a certain extent, and he talked a lot. We were already on the right track at that time, and Mark Jackson inspired Curry very well because I remember Curry was unwilling to face Paul in 1V1. Mark Jackson encouraged him that as long as he hit Paul 1-on-1, we could win! That was exactly what Curry needed Yes, someone needs to recharge him. I had already expected what this Warriors would do at the time, but I didn't expect Curry to change the game like this, but it's great to witness it all!"

Crawford also joked: "If I could play a little longer that year, we might have won the championship a year ahead of schedule!"

Crawford played 42 regular season games for the Warriors in the 2013-14 season, and averaged 8.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in 15.7 minutes.
