Michael Jordan did it all on the basketball court. That's not to say he was yet the best player in the world when he was a freshman at North Carolina but he was a starter from day one, which was reserved for the very best players, and he averaged 13.5 points per game in his first season with the Tar Heels.May 5, 2020
After a 22-point performance against Tulsa, the reigning NIT champion, in early December of his freshman season, The Charlotte Observer's Kevin Quirk wrote, "It was Michael Jordan's kind of game — lots of opportunities in the open court to flash his offensive prowess ... Good things — and some great — were interspersed with those errors. Things such as a potent fast break, superb inside passing, intimidating defense and spectacular individual efforts. Most of those belonged to Jordan, who scored on jump shots, drives, offensive rebounds and a couple of dunks."
ABE:
Men, I see Suggs, not trailing the great Jordan as a freshman. Suggs is more team oriented, that's for sure and his game is more mature at their freshmen stage. He will probably never average 30 pts. a game, but that is not his best team or winning option. He does everything else, leaving less time for scoring. One is his superb passing.
It will be exciting to watch his progress toward possibly, "being anther Jordan."
Has there ever been another Jordan since he retired? Some say Kobe? But that seems to be the only candidate up to, yes, Suggs.
