The NBA is one of the most popular sports leagues in the entire world and it gains a ton of attention all year long.
But the media surrounding the NBA has its fair share of problems, according to former star Jamal Crawford.
According to NBACentral via Awful Announcing, Crawford recently spoke about the issues he has with the media covering the league:
“My problem is basketball is one of the only sports, or only things, where you don’t have to be a professional to judge professionals and get people looking at it like you’re the gospel, and it’s crazy to me.”

Crawford’s complaint about the NBA is understandable, considering he knows what it takes to have a successful career in the league.
He also sees how many people feel free to comment on players, coaches, and other people associated with the NBA.
Some of the people commenting don’t have any professional positions, while others have studied the game for many years.
There are many problems with the media and the NBA, related to several things beyond non-professionals judging others.
But Crawford can change some of that.
He is a new member of the NBA media and has used his years after retirement to share opinions and knowledge about the league.
Crawford has made a name for himself as one of the best new analysts with a ton of experience in the league and a lot of expertise too.
So while he might not be happy with the state of the media, he will be one of the people who transforms it.
