The all-new Jordan Challenge will kick off with the game that solidified the path of the Chicago Bulls legend with “The National Championship Game” between the North Carolina Tar Heels against the Georgetown University Hoyas on March 29, 1982. Despite playing with future Hall of Famer, James Worthy, and against another Hall of Famer, Patrick Ewing, the 6-6 guard still stood out as he buried the game-winning shot to give his coach, Dean Smith, his first national championship.
