Former stars return to mark 100 years of UNC basketball

Posted Sep 5, 2009
The UNC basketball program began its celebration of its centennial season last night, drawing a sellout crowd of nearly 22,000 to watch a charity game featuring its alumni playing in the NBA or overseas. The rosters featured some of the program's biggest stars, including NBA All-Stars such as Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison and Jerry Stackhouse. They also included 10 members of the Tar Heels' 2005 and 2009 national-championship teams. (Winston-Salem Journal)
