I saw him in LJ his FR year when Worthy was a SR. As I remember, he was called for travelling quite a few times. I started watching him closer. He wasn't travelling, he was just so ### fast starting out that it looked like he was travelling. I came away from that game impressed with Jordan even though he was a Tarheel. I don't remember how many times he played at LJ. That was when we played home and home on the ACC games each year.

'81-'82, '82-'83, and '83-'84. Back then we played everybody twice. We were competitive every game except at UNC in '84. We should not have been. We started a 6'6" walk-on center and UNC was loaded at every position. Murray Jarman turned out to be a baller though and ended being drafted by both Suns and the Broncos, though he did not play football at Clemson.

Yes, I saw Jordan play three years at Littlejohn, and at the time considered him just another UNC star, in a long line of UNC stars from Phil Ford and before. UNC basketball was what Clemson football is now - a juggernaut. There is no context in the present.
Honestly, Len Bias grew in talent more noticeably than Jordan over three years; but to be fair, Dean Smith controlled Jordan and all UNC ballers. No hot-dogging allowed. And since Jordan was better than Bias as a true frosh, his improvement from year to year did not get the media attention of Bias.

Often wonder how different Jordan's history would've been had Bias not passed away before getting to the NBA.
Idk if it would have mattered but I jus read and heard plenty from around that time that said Bias was up there in terms of talent
