Michael Jordan's ascent to stardom started with winning shot in 1982
Posted Mar 28, 2012
Before Michael Jordan became a tongue-wagging legend, whom many regard as the best basketball player to ever play the game, he visited the Superdome as a skinny freshman on the UNC basketball team in 1982. When the Tar Heels arrived in New Orleans for the Final Four 30 years ago, Jordan was a part of the Tar Heels’ supporting cast. He was in the shadows of All-America forward James Worthy and center Sam Perkins.
