2. Jamal Crawford

Jamal Crawford is best known nowadays as one of the greatest sixth man players in league history during his time with other teams. His tenure with the Knicks saw him often in the starting lineup putting up insane scoring numbers and plenty of highlights for the Madison Square Garden faithful. The never-shy-to-perform baller turned midtown Manhattan into his own personal stage show, regardless of the Knicks’ mediocre records.

Crawford spent four seasons in New York and made the transition to the shooting guard position to accommodate starting point guard Stephon Marbury seamlessly.

In a classic 2007 game against the Heat, Crawford scored a career-high 52 points, hitting 16 shots in a row with eight straight 3-pointers to propel the Knicks to victory. Crawford has had memorable moments that include tossing the ball off the backboard to himself for a layup in the middle of a regular season game.

The Knicks were a woeful team while Crawford wore No. 11 for them, so it’s easy to forget how explosive he was as their shooting guard. His career is still moving strong as the 37-year-old recently signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the upcoming 2017-18 season.
