Jamal Crawford on Youth Coaching, Seattle Sports, and His Bond with Isaiah Thomas

Jamal Crawford joins Point Game this week to share stories from his decades-long friendship with Isaiah Thomas — from early battles and shared respect to the moments that built a lifelong bond. Few players have seen as much basketball as Jamal, and he brings that perspective to a conversation that blends hoops history with real-life growth. Now former pros coaching their own kids, Jamal, CJ, and IT get candid about the realities of youth sports. They talk about navigating competitive environments, balancing encouragement with accountability, and how parents can support without overstepping. It’s honest insight from guys who’ve lived it at every level. With the All-Star break providing a natural pause, the crew also takes stock of the NBA season so far. They break down first-half surprises — including how the Celtics have managed to stay dominant even without Jayson Tatum — and look ahead to what’s coming after the break. And yes, there are bold predictions… including a case for the Spurs making a serious run.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
