Feel free to put a hand on someone next game, Jamal

Jamal Crawfor set an NBA record last night. Congratulations are in order, right?

Well, maybe not, but it is a pretty special and unbelievable record. Crawfor played 60 minutes and committed 0 fouls. That is the most minutes an NBA player has ever played in a single game without committing a foul.

That’s 5 full quarters without a hand-check, an over-the-back or a block. Obviously, steals, fouls and other defensive stats aren’t necessarily indicative of a player’s defensive ability, but for a guy like Crawford, for whom the jury already done come in with guilty verdict of negligence, 60 minutes and 0 fouls is truly a transcendant performance. I especially liked when he watched Kevin Martin go to the hoop for a game-tying dunk with 20 seconds left in the game instead of trying to stop him.

The Oakland Warriors: where records that don’t help you win happen.
