I was deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Eric Montross. We lost a great man! He represented The University of North Carolina in a first class manner both on the court and off. No one did it better than Eric. He was way too young. God bless him and his family.
Let’s give Jason some grace. He was a very good player and a terrific leader on some great teams at UNC. He is part of “The Family”. I wish I was a better coach for him and his teammates during a challenging transition his last two years.

Coach Williams: Congratulations on an amazing career at Kansas and North Carolina. You won the right way and you impacted many lives, including mine. Thank you. Enjoy your time with Wanda and the family. You deserve it.
I loved Chris and his family, but we didn’t have a scholarship. Back then you could only offer 5 in one year and a total of 8 over two years. Plus, we had Raymond Felton in the class ahead of him. I think it worked out ok for Chris and the Heels.
“The foundation of who I am is my relationship with Jesus. And so whether it's coaching, whether it's my marriage, whether it's my three kids, decision-making, everything is filtered through my faith.” (

Hubert Davis: "I'm 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 of being your new men's basketball coach for the University of North Carolina."

Please continue to pray for Tar Heel Legend Eric Montross as he battles Cancer. May God be with Eric and his family during this trying time.

Real gut punch here. Sad day! Walter Davis passed away. Too soon. Everyone loved Walter…unless you had to guard him. He would come back to Chapel Hill with the other NBA players and play pickup with us in the summer. Great player. Better guy. RIP Sweet D.
On this date in 1982, UNC freshman Michael Jordan hits the game-winning basket with less than 20 seconds left to lift the Tar Heels over Georgetown in the title game of the NCAA Tournament.
Unfortunately, if Coach K was starting out at Duke today he would probably not see year 4. He had a supportive AD in Tom Butters that was a coach and had the guts to give him an extension in year 3! Great story!
After 3 years, Coach K’s record at Duke was 38-47.
He’s now the winningest coach in NCAA men’s basketball history.
He didn’t change what he was doing, he just continued the process of building a solid foundation. Sometimes the best strategy is being patient and consistent.
I love to see these Pi Kappa Phi men at UNC-Chapel Hill defending their flag. Proud of these students for standing firm for America. Go Heels!

We had to let Zorro go today. 15 year old Westie. I never understood the love people had for dogs until we got Zorro 13 years ago in FL. He has been by my side ever since. He loved me and I loved him. He was a true blessing. God Bless.
In the last two minutes of the Laker game LeBron shot an air ball, had a turnover and couldn’t get a shot in an isolation situation. He got bailed out by Anthony Davis’s shot. LeBron is one of the best players ever, BUT MJ is the GOAT!
I see people asking what books they should read in 2021. I suggest starting with the Bible. We need more Jesus in our lives. The Bible is timeless and full of wisdom that is tremendously relevant today.
Witnessing the entrance of the UNC fraternity guys at the Republican National Conference, who stood their ground defending the American flag, is truly inspiring.

I feel for the UNC players having to deal with such a tough season. Not what they signed up for, but life will throw you some curve balls. They are part of the family forever.

Big-time honor last Friday! Holy Trinity HS retired my jersey number before their game. Emotional night for me and my family. Great to be back with former teammates, coaches, classmates, and administrators. Go Titans! 💚

I believe a good country needs 4 things: 1. Strong military. 2. Good economy. 3. Law & order. 4. God as our moral compass. This is why I vote republican. I am not voting for a man. I am voting for a mission. If the Dems win I fear a move towards socialism. God Bless America.
Seeing all of these great UNC highlights vs dook on here & one that gets lost is Matt Doherty’s ‘84 game to get us to 14-0 in the regular season finale.

early call: Kessler will end up being the best player from this team. Long. Great hands. Touch. Keeps ball up. Has strong legs. Will fill out.
Happy 57th Birthday to Matt Doherty (

James Worthy had 7 dunks in the '82 Final Four (2 vs. Houston, 5 vs. Georgetown). All were pretty spectacular in their own right, but this might have been my favorite of the bunch. Includes some old-school Carolina 4 Corners footage, too.
On the one hand I was so proud that my daughter bought this. Then I realized she found it while shopping at an ANTIQUE shop. What the heck! I would prefer to use the term “classic” instead of antique when referring to myself.

For the first time, all of the billboards in Times Square were shut off and then lit up with the true meaning of Christmas:
The birth of Jesus Christ
CHILLS ✝️
If you’re a younger NBA fan who didn’t get a chance to watch Vince Carter in his prime, take a few minutes to watch this highlight reel of his best dunks:
I think it is fair to say that all of us who played on the 1982 National Championship team were just a little bit competitive. This

RIP Coach Knight. Thank you for bringing your undefeated Hoosiers into my life. You inspired an 8th grade boy to love the game. It was an honor to compete against your teams. I will remember the wins, losses, & the fishing trip w/ your son & my friend Patrick. God Bless you! 🙏🏼
I am so proud of my man Donald for graduating from the Charlotte Rescue Mission on this Thursday. He and the other students continue to inspire me every time I go to Community Matters Cafe. Good luck Donald. I will be praying for your success.

It was a beautiful day spent with Jim Caviezel and my wife Kelly at UNC’s Chapel Hill campus.

It was truly an honor giving Jim a tour of my alma mater. I will never forget this day and all of the great conversations we shared.
