Terrell Owens calls out Michael Jordan, says he's a better basketball player

Terrell Owens hasn't been able to find employment in the NFL, so he's apparently set his sights on the basketball court. In typical T.O. fashion, though, he's throwing insults along the way. 

The former wide receiver uploaded a video to social media site HangWith recently (TMZ has a NSFW copy of it here), proclaiming himself a better basketball player than one of the game's legends, Michael Jordan.

"I know he's 50-something-years-old," Owens said. "He used to be M.J., but he will be crossed-up M.J. if he comes messin' with me right now."

Owens then raves about his jump shot: "My J is wet. My J is wetter than Niagara Falls right now."

To be fair, Owens does know a thing or two about playing basketball; he competed in the 1995 NCAA Basketball Tournament while enrolled at the University of Chattanooga. But is he Michael Jordan-good? Probably not.
