NBA Veteran Jamal Crawford Tickles His Young Opponent Markelle Fultz On The Bench

Usually we turn to the NBA for dunks, blocks, insane athleticism and really big bodies. Seldom are we looking for cute moments shared between grown men.

But they are there. And if only we opened our eyes (and league camera crews helped us out a little bit) we might see more of them. Case in point: Phoenix Suns veteran guard Jamal Crawford tickling Philadelphia 76ers point guard prospect Markelle Fultz until they're both laughing and smiling.

Seeing two opponents be this chummy in an NBA stadium is a little odd, but it makes sense. Fultz, 20, played college basketball at the University of Washington. Meanwhile, Seattle native Crawford, 38, is something like the godfather of Washington state basketball. The two have likely been friends for a few years.
