Jamal Crawford says younger teams turned the Warriors’ formula against them: “Took it up a whole other level”

Former NBA player Jamal Crawford commented on August 18, 2026, that younger NBA teams have adopted and elevated the Golden State Warriors' signature style of play, effectively using it against the franchise that popularized it. Crawford suggested the Warriors are now victims of the movement they themselves sparked in the league. The remarks reflect a broader conversation about how the Warriors' influence on modern NBA basketball has evolved beyond their own organizational success.
