Inside the NBA Draft: Cody Zeller on "Big-Timing" Michael Jordan

Posted Jun 27, 2015
In the two years since I joined the Bobcats, a lot of people have asked me what it’s like interacting with Michael Jordan. It’s been great. The players all see him in the halls or in the training room or at practice (sometimes he likes to sit on the bench and talk to the refs). But I still think of that draft night phone call. Until now I’ve never really told anyone — because you never want to be known for big-timing His Airness. (The Players' Tribune)
