UNEXPECTED: Michael Jordan Calls Out Former Teammate Sam Perkins Over UNC Responsibility…..Read more 👇
In a surprising and candid statement, basketball icon Michael Jordan publicly called out his former UNC-Chapel Hill teammate Sam Perkins for what he described as “ignoring his responsibility to the university that shaped our careers.” Jordan, a proud alumnus of the University of North Carolina, has long been vocal about his loyalty and contributions to the program that helped launch his legendary career.
Speaking during a recent alumni event, Jordan expressed frustration, saying, “When you’ve been given so much by a place like UNC, you have an obligation to give back—not just financially, but through presence, mentorship, and engagement.” He specifically mentioned Perkins, suggesting that the former NBA standout has been absent from key university functions and alumni initiatives.
Jordan emphasized the importance of unity among Tar Heel alumni, urging former players to remain active in fostering the legacy of UNC basketball. “We all walked those same halls, wore that same jersey. It’s about more than just the past—it’s about paving the way for the next generation,” he added.
While the comments stirred tension, they also sparked broader conversations about alumni involvement and the long-term responsibilities of high-profile athletes to their alma maters.
