Sorensen: Bobcats should pass on Harrison Barnes
Posted Jun 22, 2012
Michael Jordan, the Bobcats owner, watches the audition. Along with sharing a Tar Heels pedigree, Harrison Barnes and Jordan share a name. Barnes’ middle name is Jordan. Barnes is asked if auditioning in front of his middle namesake was tough or intimidating. “Naw, I was going to ask him for a shooting contest but he skipped out a little early,” Barnes said.
