Jamal Crawford Admits Feeling “Humbled” by Hollywood Comedian at Knicks Game Against Jazz

What happens when two legends from completely different worlds cross paths? Magic. That’s exactly what unfolded when Tracy Morgan, the iconic comedian and star of 30 Rock, turned up at a New York Knicks game against the Utah Jazz wearing a jersey that honored a former NBA star. But this wasn’t just any Knicks jersey—it had Jamal Crawford’s name on the back.

JC, touched by the gesture, shared his feelings on social media. “When the legends rock with you, you know you brought something to the game!! Honored, and humbled by The one and ONLY @tracymorgan.”

There’s not an ounce of doubt that Jamal Crawford deserves this honor as a former Knicks star. He appeared in 5 different seasons for the team during which he averaged an impressive 17.6 points and 4.4 assists. Despite this, how often do you see a basketball legend calling a comedy legend the one and only? It’s moments like these that remind us of the unifying power of sports and entertainment.

For those of you who don’t know, Morgan isn’t just any Knicks fan. He’s been cheering for the team for ages now, through every heartache and triumph. Recently, he even called out Optimum for their deal fallout with MSG Networks, which has deprived Knicks fans of game broadcasts.

“Come on, man, you can’t be serious. You took MSG Network off TV? That’s where I watch my Knicks. The Knicks are the hottest team in the league right now, they cookin’,” Morgan said. And he didn’t stop there. “Meet with them, bring the network back, we love you,” Morgan added.

If you think this is the peak display of a fan following from Morgan, wait till you hear about his confrontation with Draymond Green.

The time when Tracy Morgan hit back at Draymond Green for undermining Knicks

If you’re a NY Knicks fan, you probably remember the unforgettable moment Morgan stood up for the team during last season’s playoffs. It was Game 5 between the Knicks and the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden, and tensions were high. The Knicks were looking to take a 3-2 lead in the series, but before the game even started, the spotlight shifted to an unexpected showdown—Morgan vs. Draymond Green.

Draymond, filling in for Charles Barkley on TNT, had called the Knicks’ season a “fluke.” Ouch, right? Well, Morgan wasn’t having it. When TNT’s Chris Haynes brought him in on the show, the comedian wasted no time firing back.

“Let me tell you something, Draymond,” Morgan began. “I love you like the fat kid loves cake. But don’t talk cr*p about my team. This is New York City, kid. This is the home of King Kong—this is where he died. This is how we get down. Don’t talk cr*p about my team, Draymond. I love you, peace.”

Classic Tracy, right? He didn’t just defend the Knicks; he did it with humor and heart, perfectly embodying that unapologetic New York spirit as one of the biggest Knicks fans.
