Jordan played for UNC before going on to his legendary NBA career. Appearing during a break in play in Saturday night's basketball game against arch-rival Duke, Jordan talked up the Tar Heels football team, which was being feted before the home crowd.

"I said, 'He's Michael Jordan, anything he dadgum wants to say is OK with me,'"

Sounds about right, really.
