Who is Jordan’s favorite player?

Given how driven he has always been by himself, it is difficult to believe that Michael Jordan might have had favorite players growing up. But Michael Jordan did have a particular player in mind when he was younger.

According to a source, Jordan’s childhood basketball idol was UNC icon, Walter Davis. A player Jordan based his game after, Davis was reportedly one of the factors that led to Jordan’s decision to attend UNC in the first place.

The source also made a noteworthy observation. Hubert Davis, the head coach at UNC, is Walter Davis’ nephew.

Full Circle: Walter Davis, the man who inspired Michael Jordan to develop his style of play, and Hubert Davis, the player after whom he fashioned his style, both played there, according to Rovell.

Without understanding why the source would see things as coming “full circle,” it brings up a noteworthy player some basketball fans may have overlooked.

Walter Davis was a two-time All-ACC pick while playing for UNC from 1973 to 1977. He continued to play in the NBA for 15 years, appearing in six All-Star games with the Phoenix Suns. Davis was also an Olympic gold medalist in 1976.

He is an excellent role model for practically all basketball players. Therefore it makes sense that Jordan chose him.

Are you surprised that Michael Jordan’s favorite player was Walter Davis?
