Jae Crowder-ESPN analyst get in Twitter spat after Knicks’ fiasco

Error 0:

Jae Crowder didn’t just draw the ire of the Knicks for his controversial late steal, he caught the attention of ESPN analyst Tim Legler.

Legler, who played in the NBA for 12 seasons before retiring in 2000, said Wednesday night it was a bush-league move for Crowder to steal the ball with 18 seconds left in the Knicks’ 127-106 blowout loss to the Grizzlies at the Garden.

Crowder stole the ball after a lazy backcourt pass from Julius Randle and dribbled the ball to the right corner for a 3-pointer which he missed as an incensed Elfrid Payton pushed him in the chest.
