“Dang, they forcing me out the NBA, and off my BlackBerry”: Jamal Crawford expresses grief over the iconic brand closing its shutters 

Ardent BlackBerry fan, Jamal Crawford expresses his displeasure in the light of the company closing its shutters.

Once upon a time, the most popular mobile handset across the globe. BlackBerry will no longer be available in the markets, marking the end of an era. The iconic brand was known for its chat features and email services. However, it failed to adapt to the changing times in the smartphone industry.

One individual who is upset with this news is NBA veteran Jamal Crawford. The former Clippers player has been using the iconic brand to date. Crawford believes it’s his loyalty towards the brand and the keypad, which prevents him from shifting to another handset.

During a postgame show on NBA TNT, WNBA superstar Candace Parker would inquire about JC owning a BlackBerry, to which Crawford replied, “It’s the keypad.” That would have everyone in splits since the brand was no longer the popular choice of the people. The three-time 6th MOY revealed he couldn’t be on group chats with his teammates due to owning the particular brand.
