Patrick Ewing tells a good Michael Jordan story

Posted Mar 6, 2016
Roy Williams told me a story once about a recruiting visit to UNC that involved you (Patrick Ewing) and Michael Jordan getting into a trash-talking pickup game on the spur of the moment at a campus gym. Is that true? Ewing: It is true. We played in street clothes because Michael just kept trash-talking. I don't even remember who won, but I do remember dunking on him. (Charlotte Observer)
