Michael Jordan speaks on title

Posted Apr 7, 2009
Since he didn't do it when North Carolina won the 2005 national championship in St. Louis, Michael Jordan did not plan to speak to the Tar Heels before they played Michigan State on Monday night for the NCAA title at Ford Field. But if he were to talk to them, he said he would repeat what legendary coach Dean Smith told him before the 1982 national championship game: "Just go out there and have fun."
