In the summer of 1981, Michael Jordan entered the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which provided him with an athletic scholarship. He chose geography as his main subject. Jordan's roommate was Buzz Peterson, a talented local basketball player whom Michael knew well from high school championship games. The University of North Carolina Tar Heels basketball team, led by coach Dean Smith, was one of the strongest in the United States, playing six times in the final four of the NCAA collegiate championship, and in the 1980/81 season reached the final of the championship. The team had a great roster that included future NBA stars Sam Perkins and James Worthy in addition to Jordan. Dean Smith always bet on a team game in which even the most stellar player had to sacrifice his own individuality for the success of the team.

After school, Michael wanted to go to the University of California at Los Angeles (the basketball team of this university most often won the NCAA championship), but there were no offers from there. Jordan was invited to the universities of South Carolina and Maryland, but the most active were the coaches of the University of North Carolina, who came to the Jordans in the fall of 1980 to persuade Michael to choose their university. The Jordan family liked this option, especially since Michael's younger sister, Roslyn, was also going to the same university. In November 1980, Michael made his choice and wrote a letter of intent to enter the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
