His competitiveness would have taken me to another level.
In that moment and for many years after, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Michael would have helped me become a perennial All-Star, even a Hall of Famer. I went to the Sacramento Kings with the very next pick. Why would anyone have a problem learning from Michael, no matter how he delivered feedback? Plus, he only got on the guys who needed it. He’ll scream at his teammates in practice. Their front office brought me in beforehand and asked about Michael Jordan, my old teammate at the University of North Carolina. The Chicago Bulls were considering choosing me. All through our playing days, and even today-I’m still jealous of Scottie Pippen.
