Jamal Crawford Foundation's Youth Basketball Camp (2011)

Jamal Crawford, a current Atlanta Hawks NBA Star and Rainier Beach Alum, hosted a basketball for boys and girls at Bellevue Community College.

Instructors grouped Campers by age or skill level. Crawford and his team of coaches taught the fundamentals of basketball in a fun atmosphere. Crawford told Komo 4's Shomari Stone, "I think this is one of the main things I do in the summer that people look forward to."

"Jamal Crawford, one of the most gifted guards in the NBA, was born on March 20, 1980 in Seattle. Since entering the NBA, Crawford has put to use the life lessons learned at a young age to form the basis of the Jamal Crawford Foundation. Though he spent most of his life in Seattle, Crawford spent two stints of his youth in Los Angeles, where he learned the importance of family values. "Family is very important," says Jamal. "My grandmother in LA taught me everything. She taught me simple things like how to set a table fork, knife and then spoon and how to get into the Church and believe in God. Then my grandmother in Seattle taught me about karma and giving my all in everything I do and never giving up. Don't be satisfied." (Paragraph Source: Jamal Crawford Foundation Website)
