After he passed away in 2015, Dean Smith was able to thank his former players one last time in the form of a $200 check that was handed out to every UNC basketball letter winner he coached. Michael Jordan, Smith's greatest player, never cashed his check. According to his son Marcus, the six-time NBA Champion framed it and placed it in his office. (Inside Carolina)
