Jordan Brand keeps signing Duke guys because North Carolina can’t produce worthy candidates

After beating Duke in the Final Four, North Carolina fans are still celebrating their victory over Coach K. Fans of the Blue Devil are trying to get over their pain. Small victories are still victories.

Because there is no one from North Carolina for Michael Jordan to sign, no one from the state has joined the Jordan brand.

They told him that regardless of how much money they paid him, they would take care of him. "Anything you need, whether it's on the court or off the court, they're going to try their best to make it happen for you and look out for you" That was one of the main reasons why I came.

I raised my eyebrows when Jordan stepped in. They don't attempt to sign everyone.

Three Duke players, along with Luka Doni, are the new faces of Jordan's company and there's nothing he can do about it.

Duke alumni buy shoes as well. I took that back because they are the same thing.

The last Carolina graduate to have a major shoe deal was Vince Carter. The last NBA All-Star that UNC produced was him. His last appearance was in 2007, when he was four years old.

Things get strange here. Since 2005, the state of North Carolina has won three national titles. With that kind of success, you would think that they would have a lot of talent in the NBA. In 2005, Marvin Williams went to the Atlanta Hawks with the 2nd pick in the NBA draft. Since 2005, Duke has only made three Final Fours. Six players that have been drafted first or second overall have been produced by the team. When you see that Duke has multiple players expected to be taken in the first round of the NBA draft, it shows up on the mock drafts.

Duke is a place for making pros. Two of the 25 former players in the NBA are members of the Charlotte Hornets, which is owned by Michael Jordan. Jordan took Mark Williams, a Dukie, 15th overall in last summer's draft. UNC has 11 players in the league compared to 27 for Kentucky.

On Wednesday night, Paolo will make his NBA regular season debut as his team takes on the Pistons. There are four players on the roster that played on Tobacco Road. They went to Duke with three others.
