Now the winner of the NBA's Sixth Man Award last season is hoping for more than one encore with the Hawks.
Crawford will be an unrestricted free agent after the season, and he says he wants to remain in Atlanta past this year.
His future with the team is in doubt, however. The Hawks re-signed Joe Johnson to a six-year deal worth more than $123 million in the offseason, and they made Jordan Crawford the team's first-round draft pick.
Jamal Crawford, Johnson and Jordan Crawford are all shooting guards. Jamal Crawford says he understands the business side of the game, as the depth at the position may make it difficult for the team to re-sign the 10-year veteran.
