Michael Jordan's lasting impact on UNC
Posted May 19, 2020
Michael Jordan was an immediate standout at UNC. Jordan came to Carolina as a McDonald's All-American, but as the second most touted recruit behind Buzz Peterson. By the time he left Chapel Hill, he was a Naismith Player of the Year and the third pick in the 1984 NBA draft. Still, Jordan’s largest contribution to UNC came after he left Chapel Hill.
