Nostalgia: The halftime ceremony was day's highlight

Posted Feb 11, 2007

No basketball player remains forever young, but North Carolina players saw yesterday how youthful exploits can live forever. The 1957 national champions and 1982 national champions starred in a halftime ceremony that overshadowed the current Tar Heels' 104-67 thrashing of Wake Forest. Lennie Rosenbluth, Tommy Kearns, Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins, James Worthy and Coach Dean Smith triggered roar after roar from the crowd. (Winston-Salem Journal)
