NBA Players Send Love To Former Miami Dolphins Star Channing Crowder

On Sunday, Crowder made a heartfelt post to Instagram.

He wrote: "Still trying to find the words… Last week, I said goodbye to my father. A man who wore many titles: teammate, leader, mentor, husband and Dad.

He was a fighter, both on the field and in life. And he fought until the end. Health complications may have taken his body, but it can never touch the impact he made to so many.

Everything I know about discipline, heart, and resilience — I learned from him. His legacy isn’t just in the game, but in the man he raised.

I’ll carry your name with pride and I promise that I will make you proud. Heaven got a good one. Love you forever old man. Keep laughing !!!"

The Dolphins are coming off a season where they went 8-9 (and missed the playoffs).
