Patrick Ewing played amazingly mature as a freshman. He and Ralph Sampson were the best centers in the NCAA, ahead of Hakeem. Worthy was a different class, better than Jordan. Eventually, Hakeem and Jordan developed into GOATS, but nothing can be taken away from Ewing and Worthy who were exceptional players in college and in the NBA.

I watched this title game when I was 7 yrs old..I remember Worthy had 28 points and Jordan's 16 points and 9 rebounds..including the game winner. Worthy also got the game winning steal to. end the game..Coach Dean Smith first NCAA basketball championship. 32-2..12-2 ACC 1st place. In my opinion Dean's greatest team.

They didn't play to that potential and let the Tar Holes off the hook! Donald Williams kept Carolina in it long enough but it should never have gone to the wire!

I was 18 yrs old in 1982. This video has brought back good memories 😀 Jordan was my favorite.

Que buen partido, muy parejo, buenas jugadas y un excelente cierre 🔥🔥🔥

When James Worthy was drafted by the Lakers (four months later) he picked jersey #42 because jersey #52 was already taken by veteran small forward Jamaal Wilkes.

Its still weird to see the court w/out a 3-point line.

I don't remember watching games without the 3-point line. I wanted to see what a game is like without one.

Game seemed better without the 3-point derby.

Say what you want about Jordan's big shot, but if Chris Brust doesn't make that one free throw in the first half, the Heels don't win. Retire his jersey!!!

Talent is just insane when recognize the names

First national championship game I watched from beginning to end. It was fascinating to be a kid in a house full of people from D.C. and the other half from North Carolina.

First I watched from start to finish as well! I was 10 and in fourth grade at the time! That was my first year as a now lifelong Duke fan but that championship game was and still is, to me personally, the most competitive back and forth final I've ever watched

52:25...BIG...GAME...JAMES!!!!!

I actually saw this game but after looking at it again had forgotten some of the plays

Its funny to see Jordan as sort of a passive, complimentary player for most of the game... deferring to the elders

Who scored the last three field goals for Carolina? And how about that sudden drive to the hoop by Jordan after Carolina passed for nearly two minutes starting around the five minutes remaining mark?

The pre-1 & done era. 😊

I was with Georgetown and Michael Jordan put a dagger in my heart with that jump shot!

Basketball has changed so much defensively and offensively. Players just didn't shoot from the perimeter very much. Guys just get left open and nobody takes a shot.
