The threats have crossed the line, which led Crowder to address them through social media. </p><p>On his <a href="https://heatnation.com/media/former-miami-heat-reveals-hes-been-getting-extensive-death-threats-fears-being-separated-from-daughter/" rel="noopener">Instagram account</a>, he posted the following:</p><p> 1. “IT’S WILD TO ME THE AMOUNT OF DEATH THREATS I GET ON THE REGULAR HOW CAN PPL SEND ME MESSAGES/MAIL WANTING TO KILL ME BUT NEVER MET ME?”</p><p>In another post, Crowder expressed his feelings even more:</p><p>2. “I GOTTA UP MY SECURITY SINCE I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE THIS HATE COMING FROM &amp; BEFORE I LET MY GUARD DOWN AND LET ONE OF YOU TAKE ME AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER. STAY BLESSED PEOPLE &amp; CONTINUE SPREADING LOVE. -99.”</p><p>Unfortunately, the Suns forward is not a stranger to being on the receiving end of such threats, per <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nba/suns/2021/01/27/phoenix-suns-forward-crowder-addresses-death-threats-social-media/4273657001/"><i>The Arizona Republic</i></a>.<br></p><blockquote> I get death threats all the time and just felt like the other day woke up and it was just like an overwhelming number of death threats in my messages and mails.”</blockquote><p>His frustration in this situation is what led him to post the aforementioned messages. The veteran forward is unaware of the source of the death threats and will take it upon himself to protect his family.</p><p>Crowder has been in the NBA since 2012. He’s enjoyed stints with the Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Utah Jazz, and Memphis Grizzlies. </p><p>He played a key role in the Miami Heat’s surge towards the NBA Finals last season. The 30-year-old journeyman <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-jae-crowder-agrees-to-3-year-deal-with-phoenix/">inked a three-year deal with Suns in the offseason</a>. Crowder is averaging 10.3 points and 4.6 boards per night this year for Monty Williams’ team.<br></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Frustrated by his lack of success in the game, Paul was immediately retaliated against by Jimmy Butler, who charged the point guard.

Now Crowder is with the Suns.</p><p>Known for his confrontational leadership style–with both opponents and his own team–Crowder’s ability to stand up to Paul will likely be crucial on a team that lacks veteran leadership. While the addition of point guard will undoubtedly boost the franchises’ chance to qualify for the postseason, his off the court effect on the team can be grating if not properly checked. Thankfully for the Suns, Paul seems to possess self-awareness, to have brought along a counterbalance.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The versatile swingman told <a href="https://arizonasports.com/story/2466217/jae-crowder-devin-booker-suns-run-in-bubble-attracted-him-to-phoenix/">Arizona Sports’ Burns &amp; Gambo</a> that Booker is the main reason he’s in Phoenix.</p><blockquote>“Being a competitor and going against Devin Booker for so many years, a player like that in our league who is a top, top talent. He’s a top talent in our league, and I just felt like as a player, he’s earned my respect on the court and he’s earned the league’s respect for the work he put in and I think it’s time for him to play some meaningful basketball,” Jae Crowder said.“The way they finished the season last year, everyone took notice. Not only myself but the whole entire league took notice of how they came inside the bubble and handled business. And I noticed that and that attracted me to be here where I am today.”</blockquote><p>The Suns went 8-0 during the seeding games at Walt Disney World in the NBA bubble. Although Booker and Co. missed the 2020 playoffs, they are going to be a tough team to deal with in 2020-21 after the big trade the front office made this offseason.</p><p>Phoenix acquired future Hall of Famer Chris Paul from the Oklahoma City Thunder. While nothing is set in stone, the Suns will likely start Paul, Booker, Mikal Bridges, Crowder and Deandre Ayton in 2020-21.</p><p>With the Memphis Grizzlies and Miami Heat last season, Crowder averaged 10.5 points per game and shot 34.3 percent from beyond the arc. The Suns are getting a quality veteran who played in the 2020 Finals.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
