Michael Jordan hooks former teammate Scott Williams up with North Carolina gear ahead of Final Four
Michael Jordan and Scott Williams were teammates on the Chicago Bulls from 1990-93 and won three NBA titles together. Both are also former North Carolina men's basketball players.
Jordan played for the Tar Heels from 1981-84. Williams played at UNC from 1986-90.
When UNC earned a spot in the 2022 Final Four, Williams decided to make the trip to New Orleans to see his alma mater in action.
But first, he reached out to Jordan.
Williams tweeted Monday, "When you text your big brother Michael Jordan your entire crew’s sizes cause you need Carolina gear in sizes up to XXXXLT for the Final Four & he hits you back with “I’m On It” you know you are blessed!"
By Tuesday, Williams had an abundance of North Carolina basketball Nike Jumpman gear from Jordan.
Williams tweeted a video of several shirts and shoes, and he said, "Michael Jordan For The Win…"
He then tweeted a photo of the boxes he received, and Williams said, "My main man Mike!"
In another tweet Wednesday, Williams held up an Armando Bacot jersey and thanked "Chapel Hill Sportswear for the UNC swag" while also again thanking Jordan.
Williams played in the NBA from 1990-2005.
