Referees who make the game about them are bad referees.

While I agree with this the coaches and players did vote him the 2nd best ref in the NBA.

Every player and coach knows that Joey Crawford, 64, can have a short fuse and is not to be crossed. But they all say Crawford, who is retiring after this season, is fair. "Once upon a time, you couldn't talk to Joey," an NBA head coach said. "He's cleaned that up — big time. He runs it when he's on the floor now. For me, that's big. I don't care if it's at home or on the road, he's not going to get intimidated by the crowd. To me, that's big with officials. You have guys that are homers, where the home crowd can sway them. But not Joey." "There's no nonsense when Joey is doing stuff," one player said. "When Joey says, 'Ya'll been warned,' everybody stops."

Never trusted Crawford, Benny and any other old fart that use to call games in the 1990s and 2000s.

What I always found laughable is how announcers always referred to Crawford as "one of the best in the game".

No.

He wasn't.

He was a self-obsessed a-hole. And he made sure everyone, players, coaches, fans in the arena, knew it.

Enjoy your retirement, Joey Crawford. NBA fans surely will.

Strategic thinking.

"See? We voted you the best! Please don't frick us with your self-obsession and incompetence!"

That was not what I was expecting. You can tell just by the way he talks that he's had some counseling.

Y'all bitch too much. The game will be a lot less interesting without Crawford. If you deny this you're being obtuse.

I don't mean better or worse.

I mean interesting.
