One-On-One With: John Feinstein (Part II of II)
Posted Mar 5, 2009
[The second greatest ACC player of all time] would be Michael Jordan because you could just see that he was extraordinarily special. I remember having an argument with Pat Riley the fall after Jordan left Carolina and was the No. 3 pick in the NBA draft. I made the comment that the Portland Trail Blazers will be remembered as the team that took Sam Bowie ahead of Michael Jordan. I could almost see Olajuwon, but Sam Bowie?
