Chris Crawford made it as far as Class A minor league Baseball with a 90-mph fastball, however, basketball has always been his sport.
"I haven't thrown in a while," the free-agent forward said, laughing, after working out yesterday for the 76ers.
Now Crawford is making his pitch to play for the Philadelphia 76?ers after fighting off injuries the last 4 years. Specifically, he has had his knees surgically repaired after tearing both anterior cruciate ligaments, causing him to sit out last season.
"Not playing last year, people kind of forget about you," Crawford said. "It doesn't matter if I'm flying under the radar, or what; hopefully, I just want to get on a team that has a chance to win and make it back to the playoffs."
