Michael Jordan couldn't help but bring up the Duke and North Carolina basketball rivalry after the Charlotte Hornets took Mark Williams 15th overall during the 2022 NBA draft.
During a call with Williams, a member of the Blue Devils team that lost to UNC in the Final Four last season, Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak congratulated him on being selected by Charlotte and then handed the phone to Jordan, the owner of the team and a Tar Heels legend.
"Even though you're a Dukie, I take pride in that we did draft you," Jordan said.
