The legend of Michael Jordan started on Tobacco Road, but it the stories vary depending on who you speak with.
Some refer back to his shot against Georgetown in the NCAA Championship his freshman year — others think back to , his block against Ralph Sampson earlier in his sophomore season.
Jay Bilas and the guys from Duke point back to that moment during the final regular season game of the 1982-83 season, North Carolina played Duke in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Jordan, flying through the lane and getting up so high that he hit his head on the backboard — blocked a Johnny Dawkins layup attempt in transiton.
“That happened every once in awhile where somebody would do something in a game where you’d go, ‘Shoot, I’ve never seen that before. I can’t do that.’” Former Duke player and current ESPN analyst Jay Bilas told UPROXX Sports. “When Len Bias or Ralph Sampson or Jordan would do stuff that you’d say just wait a minute, I don’t have that in my bag. All men are created equal? Total bullsh*t. That’s a lie.”
