Jamal Crawford is back in the NBA and truly thrilled about his fortune.

The 40-year-old guard has played in the NBA since being drafted by the Bulls in 2000. However, until Wednesday, he hadn’t signed to play during the 2019-2020 season despite campaigning hard for a spot.

But Crawford’s wish came true when he and the Brooklyn Nets agreed on a deal. The opportunity came because Brooklyn has several players who will not be joining the team in the Orlando bubble due to injuries, COVID-19, or other reasons. Crawford is grateful for the chance to play again and thankful that his patience and positive energy paid off.

You wanna make God laugh, tell him your plan. He'll tell you, sit back and watch this.. So thankful for alllllllllll the positive energy. Beyond humbled and blessed
