Roy Williams on ‘the ceiling is the roof:’ Michael Jordan can say what he wants

Posted Mar 7, 2017
Michael Jordan meant to say that there was no limit to the potential of the UNC football program. Instead Jordan said, “The ceiling is the roof.” Almost immediately, the phrase went viral on social media. Roy Williams, meanwhile, didn’t hear anything about “the ceiling is the roof” until Monday morning, when he woke up and heard someone talking about it on the radio. (Charlotte Observer)
