Over 1.25 million voters contributed to the cause, and decided that seeing Michael Jordan winning titles never gets old. As a freshman on the 1982 North Carolina squad, which featured the likes of Sam Perkins, James Worthy, Jimmy Black and Matt Doherty, Jordan hit the game-winning shot to send the Tar Heels to the winner's circle.
