Former UNC guard Dexter Strickland changes his name

Posted Dec 7, 2016
He was former North Carolina guard Dexter Strickland. UNC fans knew he would pull up for a jumper if a play wasn't developing and just shoot his shot to the point of his "YOLO jumper" becoming a beloved part of Tar Heel Twitter (and yes, he made many, as was part of the charm). Now, that man is Baden Jaxen. (WRAL Sports Fan)
