I thought the same thing about Bias even after seeing several of Jordan's college games.

GoTiguhs!!


the tragedy is how society fails every day en masse

Len took his chances and paid a higher cost than most, and yet

it was his choice.

There is no sadness in the use of freedom.

ACC Championship, 1984 +-. Semi-finals, UNC/Maryland, Greensboro, Jordan vs Bias. Men among boys, they dominated the game. Lefty's only ACC Championship.
