Jamal Crawford Sports New Basketball Kicks Ad and a New Short Film [WATCH]
L.A. Clippers' Jamal Crawford shares in the limelight of basketball flair with his new signature shoes from "Brandblack." Crawford's new ad also features a short film with a strong feel to it.
The 6"5 "Lob City" Guard Jamal Crawford has been basking in good tidings upon the start of the postseason with his "Sixth Man of the Year" award, and a recent new ad campaign. Being the hard-working and skillful ball player he has become, fans can say that he deserves what he's getting now.
Crawford started his rookie career with Chicago Bulls after being traded on draft day from the Cleveland Cavaliers. His statistics in the early years weren't as impressive back then. In 2004, Crawford transferred to the New York Knicks where he averaged more points compared to his early years. He first had his career-high 52 points in a game, where he buried 8 straight three-pointers. Despite the improvement, his stay with the Knicks didn't get the team to appear in the playoffs.
Come 2008, he was traded to the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors didn't qualify for the playoffs, but Crawford left a good record with them scoring 50 points in a game with the Charlotte Bobcats. Crawford was traded for the fourth time to the Atlanta Hawks in 2009. This time the team made it to the playoffs for two seasons, but never made it past further rounds. In 2010, he won his first Sixth Man of the Year Award while playing for the Hawks.
He signed for the Portland Trail Blazers in 2011 where he set a career-high free throw percentage of 92.7 percent. Then in 2012, Jamal Crawford signed for the L.A. Clippers. The Clippers made it to the playoffs in 2013 but was eliminated in the first round by the Memphis Grizzlies. This year, the Clippers made it past the first round against the Warriors while struggling with the team owner's issue lately. Crawford together with the Clippers are now facing the Oklahoma City Thunder for the second round the NBA 2014 playoffs.
Along his most recent Sixth Man of the Year award, Jamal Crawford launches the new Brandblack sportswear brand. His first signature shoe called "J.Crossover" comes in three varieties; the BBK (black), GUN (metallic grey), and WSL (white).
J.Crossover features "ultra-light recovery energy materials, engineered for extreme forces exerted during ball play. More of its features also give protection for rigorous foot activity and carefully-crafted shoe patterns for better support of the player's intense movement around the court.
"RSA Films," founded by Ridley and Tony Scott, together with Anthony Crook (director of photography for recent films like Elysium, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, etc.), took care Crawford's launch film for Brandblack.
