Kenny Smith on rooming with Michael Jordan: "At North Carolina, juniors and seniors had to share a room on the road with freshmen and sophomores. Often as an underclassman I would room with Michael. We’d be lying there in the dark, trying to sleep after a game, well past midnight. We’d spend the next few hours talking about our dreams and fears." (WBUR)
