Jamal Crwaford: Trying to be more than just the guy who dunked on LeBron.

Most college basketball players would be content with a career highlight of dunking on not only one of the best current NBA players, but arguably one of the best professional ballers of all-time. Jordan Crawford's dunk over LeBron James and the ensuing attempt by Nike to cover it up echoed throughout the basketball world this summer.

Since, both the play and Jordan Crawford have been forgotten. LeBron is well on his way to another MVP caliber season while Crawford has also begun play in Ohio, but at Cincinnati's Xavier University.

Crawford was never the likely suspect to dunk on the most physically gifted player in any sport that I have ever seen. A three-star prospect coming out of high school, Crawford was an anonymous recruit in an Indiana class that brought in six new freshmen including the best shooting guard of the class, Eric Gordon.

But Jordan emerged as a valuable role player on the 25-win Hoosiers team. He averaged nearly 10 points per game with reasonably efficient shooting percentages and solid contributions defensively. Unfortunately for Jordan and the University of Indiana, tragedy soon struck the basketball program as controversial coach Kelvin Sampson was once again hit up with recruiting violations and forced to step down.

Like many Indiana players, Crawford jumped ship as soon as that happened. He latched on at Xavier as one of the best transfer players, but was once again unheard of as NCAA rules forced him to sit out a year. Then, it happened.

Jordan went Michael Jordan on LeBron and he instantly became one of the most popular players in the NCAA. He was doing interviews left and right, Nike and LeBron were fueling the fire, and it seemed like the story would never end.

It did end, and now Jordan is out to prove that he is more than that one trick pony. He has immediately became Xavier's go-to scorer, leading the team in points in four of the team's first six games. On the year, he is averaging 18.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists to go with just 1.3 turnovers per game.

To go along with his positive assist to turnover ratio, he has also been efficient with his shooting, sporting a 47% clip from the field, 80% from the line and 48% from behind the arc. At 6'4", the ability to knock down that long-range jumper will dictate his pro prospects. We all know he has the leaping ability to play there.

What Crawford's future holds is uncertain, but on a solid collegiate team that has almost always made the NCAA tournament over the past 10-15 years, expect to hear about him again in March, and possibly in the pros someday.
