Having provided 62 NBA players, the program has been consistently developing some of the best talents to play in the association. Despite Kentucky and UCLA producing more NBA players, we have ranked UNC at the top and there is only one reason behind that decision.
That reason is called Michael Jordan. Yes, the greatest basketball player ever came through the rigorous UNC program before being drafted with the number 2 pick by Chicago Bulls in the 1984 draft.
A 6-time NBA champion, Jordan won his titles with Chicago in two different spells and finally retired from the game in 2003.
