NBA veteran Jamal Crawford is still going strong, even at age 39, and apparently he's still looking to stay in the league.
According to a report, Crawford is drawing interest from multiple teams, including the Philadelphia 76ers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat.

All of those teams could make use of an instant-offense bench presence, as well as a strong veteran voice in their locker rooms.
Crawford, a three-time Sixth Man of the Year award winner, has plenty of miles to his name. He is currently sixth among all active players in minutes played with a whopping 38,988 over his 19 seasons in the NBA.
Surprisingly enough, Crawford logged a career-high in games played at the lofty age of 36 in his final season with the Lob City LA Clippers — a season in which he put up 12.3 points per game off the bench with 36 percent shooting from deep.
Last season as a member of the Phoenix Suns, Crawford saw his numbers dip considerably to some of his lowest marks in points per game (7.9), usage rate (20.8%) and total minutes played (1,211) since his rookie season in Chicago.
Still though, the ageless wonder surely has some miles left on the tires, so he will definitely be a good pickup for one of those aforementioned contending teams.
