Bulls top pick Coby White shows reverence for fellow North Carolina product Michael Jordan
Posted Jun 25, 2019
Coby White met Michael Jordan only once. “All I did was get a handshake. I was kind of scared to have a conversation with him or anything like that,” White said, drawing laughter. “I remember me and Naz (Nassir Little) was like, ‘Should we tell him that we’re going to North Carolina?’ And I’m like, ‘I’m not because I don’t want to mess up or anything.’”
