Michael Jordan feared Lawrence Taylor on the basketball court, according to Buzz Peterson
Posted Apr 26, 2020
According to Buzz Peterson, Michael Jordan's college roommate and teammate at the University of North Carolina, there was one person in particular who injected some fear into M.J. every time he stepped onto the court. However, this wasn't anyone on the Tar Heels' roster, or even an NBA player. Instead, it was NFL All-Pro linebacker Lawrence Taylor.
