Lucas: Like Mike
Posted Feb 27, 2006
If you were a Carolina basketball player, you'd be Mike Copeland. You don't have to be a 6-foot-7 bruiser with a mean rebounding streak to be Copeland. You just have to have a sense of wonder. Imagine you walk into the locker room deep within the Smith Center and find a crisp white jersey with Carolina blue argyle running down the side. It's hanging in a locker, and you can't help but rub it between your fingers. Then you flip it over. It's got your name on the back.
