‘I Just Sat on the Wing and Watched’: The Time Porter Moser Played Basketball with Michael Jordan

When Loyola men’s basketball head coach Porter Moser was playing basketball at Creighton University in the late 1980s, he got to work at a Nike youth basketball camp run by Bulls guard and NBA legend Michael Jordan.

But there was a catch: To work at a camp with “His Airness,” who wouldn’t win his first championship until 1991, the counselors had to play with him in front of the campers — and Moser said luckily, he was always on Jordan’s team. He also got to see just how competitive Jordan was, which was a topic of discussion during ESPN’s highly anticipated documentary “The Last Dance” about Jordan and the 1990s Bulls dynasty.
