Lawrence Taylor on Gambling, Golf, Competition, & Michael Jordan
Posted May 30, 2020
Two of the best to ever play their respective sports both went to school at UNC. Of course, it's Michael Jordan in basketball, the best NBA player ever, and then linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who is considered one of the best defenders in NFL history. Jordan and Taylor didn't overlap at UNC. Taylor played at Carolina from 1977-1980, while Jordan arrived in Chapel Hill in 1981.
