Writer, UNC alum reflects on Jordan in his college days

I had known Michael Jordan in college at the University of North Carolina, when I worked at The Daily Tar Heel and covered his sophomore season. Whenever we saw each other over the subsequent years he always made extra time to chat and gossip and talk about Chapel Hill, no matter that his fame was exploding far beyond the confines of the NBA, the U.S., even sports itself. Europeans with absolutely no knowledge of basketball admired him for his physical grace, his effortless ease. (Sports Illustrated)
