Joey Crawford pulled off his patented running face plant during Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

When you have Joey Crawford refereeing a game, you’re either getting one of two things: the crusty fellow who tosses everyone from the ball boy to the last man off the bench, or a supreme athletic specimen who is too evolved to stay on two feet. During Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals we saw the latter.

Strangely, Joey C. didn’t feel like running people during the contest – even though the opportunity definitely presented itself.

Which means it was Thrills and Spills Crawford in the mother-loving house.

And since we have the technology (and because I’m still shaking off the post-Memorial Day rust), here are a few more athletic feats by Crawford.

Joey jumping all over the mop kid

Joey icing the Slim Reaper

Joey doing his part to rid the world of random acts of laughter

And Joey tiptoeing through the tulips

Keep doing you, Joey. We don’t come for the games; it’s all about you. Hit the music!
