Patrick Ewing explains why James Worthy - not Michael Jordan - was the true hero of 1982 UNC title
Posted Mar 19, 2023
The Tar Heels entered the 1981-82 season with high expectations. After losing to the Indiana Hoosiers in the title game the previous year, they returned with double-digit scorers Sam Perkins and James Worthy and were going to debut freshman Michael Jordan. While Jordan averaged 13.5 points per game, it was Worthy, then a junior, who led the Tar Heels in scoring.
