Michael Jordan is finally getting the Hall call from the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. The former Tar Heel and Chicago Bulls star will be inducted at halftime of a Charlotte Bobcats game at Time Warner Cable Arena Dec. 14.Jordan, who grew up in Wilmington, N.C. helped the Tar Heels to the 1982 national championship as a freshman, sinking the game-winning shot to give Dean Smith his first national title and the school's second. In the NBA, Jordan won six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls.
"This is obviously a tremendous honor and I am proud to be an inductee of the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame," Jordan said in a statement issued by the Hall of Fame. "When I think about all the great athletes from North Carolina that inspired me to become the best I could be, it's humbling to know that now I stand with them as members of a very special fraternity."
