In a 2012 interview, Crawford named the Duncan incident as one of his two regrets from his career, saying “The Duncan thing probably changed my life. It was just—you come to the realization that maybe the way you’ve been doing things is not the proper way and you have to regroup, not only on the court but off the court. I had seen a sports psychologist before that. But after, I saw him a lot more. […] It gave me a new perspective.”
