UNC's Coby White talks up Michael Jordan at NBA Draft Combine
Posted May 17, 2019
Coby White passed Michael Jordan on UNC's freshman scoring list last season. He also was the first Tar Heel freshman to produce three 30-point games. "Michael Jordan is the GOAT, the greatest to ever do it," White said Thursday at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago. "To break his record means a lot. It's humbling, but it's also a blessing at the same time."
