Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player to ever live (sorry, LeBron fans), and he is arguably the most famous athlete to ever live. With how well-known His Airness is, there are very few facts about his career that have not become common knowledge. But did you know that Michael Jordan was almost a member of the South Carolina basketball program?
It’s true. The Hall of Famer who hailed from the University of North Carolina almost never donned the “Carolina” blue uniforms of the Tar Heels. In his photographic autobiography Rare Air, Jordan spoke about his high school recruitment.
