Billy Cunningham: the link to Sixers' last two NBA titles

Posted May 14, 2012
Following his high school career, Billy Cunningham decided to accept a basketball scholarship to play at UNC. "Some guy named Dean Smith was the new coach. I didn’t know who he was and he didn’t know me.” That might have been the last time anyone from North Carolina wasn’t sure who Dean Smith was. And it wouldn’t take long for Tar Heel fans to get know Billy Cunningham. (Mainline Media News)
