An agile and diminutive point guard at 5 ft 8 in tall, he attended Moorpark community college for two years before transferring to a Division I program, New Mexico State. In 1992–93 he led the NCAA in assists with a 9.1 average, was awarded the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award for the best college player under 6 ft and was an AP Honorable Mention. He is the all-time assists leader at New Mexico State with 592. After his senior year of college he went undrafted in the 1993 NBA Draft and had a short professional career in the CBA. He also appeared in two movies: Blue Chips[1] and Forget Paris. High school careerCrawford was born in Illinois to Debra Crawford; his biological father abandoned the family when Crawford was 3, and he was raised by his mother in Harvey, Illinois, a Chicago suburb.[2] Crawford's aunt Mita married former NBA player Ron Carter, and Crawford usually spent his summers in Los Angeles, California with the two, playing in basketball camps.[2] When he was 10, his mother decided that he should move in with Carter, in an attempt to keep his son away from a life of poverty.[2][3] Crawford attended Westchester High School in Los Angeles and he was one of the best players of the team together with Zan Mason, a Parade All-American and highly ranked prospect who would later play for UCLA.[4] Crawford entered the starting five at Westchester in his freshman year, after a particularly good performance against Crenshaw, one of the top high school basketball teams in the area.[2] Crawford and Mason led Westchester, and Crawford was named in the All-City team twice.[2] In his junior season he averaged 17.4 points and 8.6 assists per game; in that same year, his aunt Mita and Carter divorced, and he refused to move with Carter in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles:[5] he then spent a period living on the streets of Westchester, and sometimes at his teammates' houses, working odd jobs.[2][3] During his senior season of high school, Crawford had a personally successful season, but the team only finished with a 16-6 record.[3] College careerHe was recruited by Texas Tech and New Mexico State, but he was struggling with grades at Westchester[2] and stopped attending classes after the end of the basketball season.[3] At the end of his senior year he did not qualify academically, and according to Proposition 48 he could not attend a Division I college, having to sit out one year; after briefly attending Howard College in Big Spring, Texas,[3] he decided to attend Moorpark College in Ventura County, California.[2] Crawford immediately found success at Moorpark, and was the best player of the team, scoring 20.7 points per game and averaging 12.1 assists (411 total) in his freshman season.[6] He led the conference in assists and scored a school-record 49 points against Ventura College.[2] In his sophomore season he played 27 games, totalling 357 assists with an average of 13.2, and averaged 19.4 points. He recorded a triple double with 24 points, 19 assists and 11 steals against Glendale on January 3, 1991.[7] His performances at Moorpark caught the attention of Gar Forman, assistant coach at New Mexico State, who called Crawford and asked him to join the Aggies for the 1991–92 season.[2] Crawford transferred to New Mexico State and was named the starting point guard: he played 33 games, averaging 12.9 points and 8.5 assists with a field goal percentage of .420 (.401 from three). He led the nation in assists for most of his junior season,[8] but ultimately finished second: while Crawford had the most assists (282), Van Usher of Tennessee Tech had a better average at 8.8 per game.[9] He was named MVP of the 1992 Big West Conference Tournament won by the Aggies. His 282 assists were a single-season school record at New Mexico State at the time.[8] Crawford's senior season in college was the most successful of his career. On December 21, 1992 he recorded 20 assists against Sam Houston State, only 2 shy of the all-time NCAA record of 22.[10] Crawford led the Aggies in scoring[11] and the entire NCAA in assists, being the top player both in total assists and in per-game average (9.1).[12] He also recorded New Mexico State's single-season record with his 310 assists, breaking his own record established during the previous season.[13] At the end of the season he won the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award for best player under 6 ft in college basketball, and he was named an All-American Honorable Mention by Associated Press. He is the all-time assists leader at New Mexico State with a total of 592, despite having played there only for two seasons.[13] College statisticsCommunity college[6]{{NBA player statistics start}}|- | align="left" | 1989–90 | align="left" | Moorpark CC | 34 || || || .479 || – || .782 || 3.0 || 12.1 || – || – || 20.7 |- | align="left" | 1990–91 | align="left" | Moorpark CC | 27 || || || .470 || – || .755 || 3.2 || 13.2 || – || – || 19.4 |- | align="left" | Career | align="left" | | 61 || || || .475 || – || .769 || 3.1 || 12.7 || – || – || 20.1 |-{{s-end}} Division I

Crawford then decided to join the Continental Basketball Association and signed for the Hartford Hellcats where he started 2 of 23 games, averaging 9.0 points, 6.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.2 minutes per game.[16] During the same season he transferred to the Wichita Falls Texans where he was a starter (15 out of 18 games) and averaged 14.5 points, 9.9 assists and 0.9 steals in 37.9 minutes.[16] His last team in the CBA were the Grand Rapids Mackers where he only played 3 games, averaging 3.0 points and 0.3 assists in the 1994–95 season.[16] References1. ^{{Cite news|title=Shaq Takes His Act To the Movie Set|publisher=Albuquerque Journal|date=June 27, 1993|page=92}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 {{Cite news|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1990-02-23/sports/sp-984_1_sam-crawford|title=A Knight to Champion Moorpark's Court : College basketball: Sam Crawford performs his deeds for the Raiders, but his quest is a scholarship at a four-year school|publisher=The Los Angeles Times|author=Healey, Brendan|date=February 23, 1990}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite news|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1992-01-31/sports/sp-942_1_sam-crawford|title=Finally, a Home : After Living on Streets of Westchester in High School, Sam Crawford Has Stability at New Mexico State|publisher=The Los Angeles Times|date=January 31, 1992|author=McLeod, Paul}} 4. ^HOOP SCOOP'S FINAL RANKING OF THE NATION'S TOP 100 SENIORS - CLASS OF 1989 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.si.com/vault/1992/03/30/126251/little-big-man|title=Little Big Man|author=Taylor, Phil|date=March 30, 1992|publisher=Sports Illustrated}} 6. ^1 Statistics of Crawford's career at Moorpark were published on Classic trading cards in 1993.
