UNC Basketball: Jawad Williams shares story about a bet with Michael Jordan

When it comes to Michael Jordan, a lot of people have great stories to tell.

Through the first six episodes of ESPN’s “The Last Dance” documentary, we have heard plenty of good stories ranging from former players, teammates, coaches, and celebrities among others, talking about their experience with the GOAT.

But the latest to reveal a story that was not on the documentary was former North Carolina standout Jawad Williams.

With episode 6 focusing on Jordan’s addiction to competing and how it translated over to gambling, Williams decided to share a story of his own. While appearing on Maven’s “The Player and the Fan” podcast with Quierra Luck and David Noel, Williams told the story of betting with Jordan on half-court shots including a photo of the two together with Williams holding a $20 bill.
