In the caption, Crawford shared that he regretted losing his initial position of Point Guard to switch to Shooting Guard during his time with the Bulls. The poster behind him in the picture read, “I’m a Point Guard who can score.” The caption read, “My biggest regret on the court was changing positions. If only there was position less basketball then 😌🤷🏾♂️. TBT.”
Crawford was undeniably one of the best ball handlers on the court during his era. He was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2000 and then traded to the Bulls. And later he changed the places in the 2003-04 season.
