On the bio section of his Twitter account, @jcraw55, Jordan Crawford mentions a very audacious ambition: “On A Mission to become the GREATEST!!!!!! WHY NOT?”

Seems like an decent motivational tool. Dream big, achieve big.

When asked to elaborate on that statement last month at the Impact Basketball Competitive Training Series in Las Vegas, Crawford explained how he believes Jordan will go down as the greatest to play the game — just not the Jordan you would expect.

“I don’t tell nobody, but I feel like I can be better than Michael Jordan,” Crawford said, without the slightest hint of sarcasm. “When I’m done playing, I don’t want people to say, Michael Jordan is the best player. I want that to be me. That’s how I am. That’s how I was built.”

Um, what? You realize people will look at you sideways and think you’re crazy for saying that, right?

“Yeah, I know that, I definitely know that. But I’m not settling for anything less,” Crawford said. “I feel like I’m better than him, anyway. My mom is going to say I’m better than him.”

Crawford cracked a smile, only because the comment was met with stunned laughter, but he was serious. It’s not even worth trying to explain how ridiculous that sounds coming from a late-first-round pick who was strapped to the bench in Atlanta and broke through with the Wizards only after Nick Young was injured.
