Michael Jordan held court with several North Carolina players during the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament.

Jordan took exception to Harrison Barnes wearing Kobe Bryant’s Nike shoes as the freshman exited Charlotte’s Time Warner Cable Arena.

"If I see you in them Kobe Bryants, man, I'm gonna cut you right off," Jordan told Barnes. "I don't care if your feet kill you, you're gonna wear them Jordans.

"Wait 'til I tell your momma, man. I'm gonna tell her. But if you're gonna keep winning, you can wear them. But that Duke game, you got killed."

The Tar Heels are one of several programs that wear Jordan Brand shoes and uniforms.
