The exact moment Michael Jordan went from ‘Mike’ to ‘Michael’
Posted Apr 18, 2020
In 1982, Michael Jordan and UNC were pitted against Patrick Ewing and Georgetown inside the Superdome for the NCAA championship. With time running out and his team trailing by one point, Jordan received a pass from Jimmy Black, then proceeded to knock down a game-winning shot. It was in this moment, Jordan says, that he became “Michael.”
