NBA HooperVision: Kevin Durant to join Richardson, Crawford for Clippers-Grizzlies

Kevin Durant to join NBA HooperVision for Thursday's Clippers-Grizzlies broadcast on NBA League Pass.

For the third week, Jamal Crawford and Quentin Richardson are up for a new stream of NBA HooperVision on NBA League Pass. The duo will provide fans commentary and insights with a unique player’s perspective during Thursday’s LA Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies game at 8 p.m. ET.

This week’s show will feature a guest appearance by Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant, who was recently named to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team.

The Clippers (9-5) have been one of the hottest teams in the league in November, going 8-1 during the month. Paul George, who leads the team with 27 ppg, dropped 34 points in Tuesday’s 106-92 win against the San Antonio Spurs.

The Grizzlies (7-7) reeled off a season-high 136 points in a win against the Houston Rockets on Monday. The Grizzlies bested the Clippers in Los Angeles on Oct. 23, 120-114, behind 28 points and eight assists from Ja Morant, 22 points from De’Anthony Melton and 21 from Jaren Jackson Jr.

Richardson and Crawford were both selected in the 2000 Draft and combined to play in more than 2,100 NBA games. They were teammates on the New York Knicks from 2005-09, when Crawford was dealt to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Al Harrington.

Crawford, a guard who was picked No. 8 in the Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers and traded to the Chicago Bulls, is tied with Lou Williams as the only players in NBA history to win the Kia Sixth Man of the Year Award in three different seasons. Crawford played for the Bulls, Knicks, Warriors, Atlanta Hawks, Portland Trail Blazers, LA Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns and Nets in his 20-year career.

At 39, and in his final regular season game with Phoenix, Crawford dropped 51 points in a loss to the Dallas Mavericks. That performance made him the oldest NBA player to score 50+ points in a game, as well as the first player to score that many points off the bench in a single NBA game.

Richardson, a combo guard-forward who was picked No. 18 by the Clippers, played 13 seasons with stops in Phoenix, New York, Miami and Orlando after beginning his career in LA. He won the 2005 NBA 3-Point Contest and has gone on to a successful broadcast career, which includes co-hosting the popular “Knuckleheads” podcast.
