He's not above reproach, but I don't get the fascination some people have with bashing him over every little thing.

Maybe if Crawford hadn't been on this game, perhaps this particular scenario never plays out the way it did.
Perhaps if Crawford isn't on the SA/DAL game years ago, Duncan doesn't get T'd while on the bench.
Perhaps if Crawford isn't on the LAC/GS game, Stephen Curry might of had an open look at a 3 from the corner instead of having Crawford run right in front of him during the shot.
Depends on your definition of 'every little thing', but Crawford does a lot of 'attention getting' things that rarely are done by other officials.........
