Looking back at UNC-Maryland, Michael Jordan vs. Len Bias in 1983
Posted Apr 24, 2020
The game pitted UNC sophomore Michael Jordan against Maryland freshman Len Bias. Jordan would go on to be the best NBA player of all-time, while Bias would be taken second overall in the 1986 NBA Draft before tragically passing away before his career even started. Future No. 1 pick Brad Daugherty and future No. 4 pick Sam Perkins were also on UNC.
