Skip Bayless has turned the UNC crash against Kansas into a view on Tar Heels legend Michael Jordan.
It’s no secret that Fox sports analyst Skip Bayless is a fan of basketball legend Michael Jordan, who played college basketball in North Carolina.
So, when the Tar Heels blew a 16-point lead and lost to Kansas in the National Championship, Bayless provided the moment Jordan would have thought during the match.
Is it fair to assume that Jordan was watching the game? Yes, after all, it’s his university. However, how do we know for sure that this thought process was exactly what was on his mind?
Moreover, it is not about Jordan; It’s about those kids who came just inches away from achieving a historic victory while avoiding historical collapse.

Again, this has nothing to do with Jordan. He was not in court on Monday night. Yes, he played a championship game in New Orleans back in 1982 against Patrick Ewing and Georgetown, aka Hoya Paranoia, but that’s 2022.
The group that played against Kansas was an undoubtedly highly motivated and talented team. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have built the big lead that they had to start with. As the game approached, we saw how mentally flexible KS is rather than driving cars. As such, the Jayhawks are the national heroes.
It’s commendable to see how much Skip Bayless likes Michael Jordan, and rightfully so. However, Monday night’s championship match, while showing Jordan School, wasn’t about Jordan in any way.
