Jawad Williams Shares His Bet With Michael Jordan

Posted May 5, 2020
Jawad Williams: "We were talking about half-court shots. Mike said 'I've got $40 in my pocket.' I was like, 'All right, cool.' We made a bet, I hit the shot, and as he's walking out, he took the money out of his pocket, and threw it on the floor, and walked off. That was my cool story, and I kept one of the $20s. The other one, I had to eat, so I kept one.'" (All Tar Heels)
