George Lynch on playing pickup against Jordan at UNC: "Having a chance to play against Michael Jordan, it was great. And he was just as competitive then as you see on that documentary. We had this rule; if the college guys beat the pros in pick up, pros will pay for dinner. We beat Mike the first game; He did not pay for dinner. He was so competitive." (All Tar Heels)
