different eras, but what it shows you is that there is a lot of room to improve from that age. Jordan lagged behind Perkins and Worthy on that team, probably the last time he wasn't the best player on his team.

College ball is not the same as it was back then...a lot more 1-and-dones today leading to weaker competition..

As others have said it was a different game back then. Freshman frequently didn't play much, especially for Dean Smith.

Jordan wasn't that well known coming out of high school.

The first time i heard of him from a friend of mine (UNC homer) talking him up. He was saying that Smith never plays freshman much and was playing this guy a lot and he was going to be a star. I was like get a grip dude no way he is going to be that good. :lol

[GODbe]

Damn, now post freshman LeBrons stats

GOAT :bowdown:

Good read on Jordan's recruitment.

http://northcarolina.scout.com/2/1125791.html

For the lazy:

"I went with three friends," he said. "Laney won by 20 and was up 30 at one point. Jordan was just fabulous. I wrote in our next issue—February of 1980—that ‘You probably haven't heard the name Mike Jordan, but he has the best combination of athleticism, basketball skills and intangibles of any high school wing guard that I've ever seen.'


"Pops" was Clifton Herring, Jordan's coach at Laney High School. The two camps he mentioned were the two existing national showcase events—Garfinkel's Five-Star and Bill Cronauer's camp in Milledgeville, Ga. In that era, before the explosion of AAU basketball, those camps were far more important than any of today's many summer events.

...

As it turned out, Smith's worst fears were realized at Five-Star. Jordan enjoyed a spectacular double session. He was the MVP of the first session and the only reason he didn't win the second-session MVP was that camp rules prevented one player from winning that award twice.

"He won seven awards in the two sessions," Oettinger recalls.

Afterward, Garfinkel rated Jordan as one of the top 10 prospects in the class. Oettinger ranked him No. 2 behind Georgetown recruit Patrick Ewing. Gibbons rated Jordan No. 1—ahead of Ewing.


Then there was the 1981 McDonald's All-American game, held in Wichita, Kansas. Jordan scored a record 30 points, including the tying and game-winning free throws with 11 seconds left as the East edged the West 96-95. He hit 13-of-19 field goals, 4-of-4 free throws and added six steals and four assists.

Somehow, the MVP vote was split between Adrian Branch and local favorite Aubrey Sherrod.

Shows the vast difference of recruiting between now and then.
