Michael Jordan’s best (and forgotten) moments as a Tar Heel

As Tar Heel fans, we often claim Michael Jordan as our own. Nothing wrong with that.

However, most of the world only knows Jordan through his professional championships, his commercials, or his more recent catchy slogan. The most they know about his time at UNC is that he hit one of the most memorable shots in NCAA. Cynics may even argue that shot became so famous because of what MJ would become and not necessarily because of the shot itself. That is all well and good.

Fortunately for Heels fans, we all know that Jordan played for three years for the North Carolina Tar Heels, not just one game in New Orleans.
