Ranking the 15 best UNC basketball NBA careers ever
No. 1: Michael Jordan
Career stats: 30.1 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 5.3 APG, 2.3 SPG, 0.8 BPG, 49.7 FG%, 32.7 3PT%
Was there ever a doubt?!
Not only is Michael Jordan the top former UNC basketball player to play in the NBA, but he is also the greatest player in the sport’s illustrious history.
Just look at the numbers:
14-time All-Star
11-time All-NBA
10-time Scoring Champion
9-time All-Defensive Team
5-time Most Valuable Player
3-time Steals Leader
3-time All-Star Game MVP
And let’s not forget:
6-time NBA Champion
6-time NBA Finals MVP
Do we need to say more?
Let’s remember: this man retired from the sport after a “three-peat.” He returned almost a year and a half later and he picked up right where he left off, putting together another streak of three titles in a row.
You could go on for days about Michael Jordan’s greatness, but it was never a doubt that he owns the top spot on this list.
