Jamal Crawford scored a game-high 26 points in the Clippers’ 105-95 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night at Staples Center. With that, Crawford passed Buck Williams on the all-time NBA scoring list and is now 90th with 16,786 points. Williams, now 91st, scored 16,784.

“It is pretty cool, especially when your hear names of legends,” said Crawford, 35. “I did not play basketball for that. I guess just keep moving up is cool, but it cannot happen without my teammates and coaches over the years. It is tough to appreciate when you are in the moment. But one day, when I retire, I can look back at it.”

Next up is Bob Cousy, who is 89th with 16,960 points.
