Marcus Paige has a second chance of developing that most elusive of goals. A Southern accent. Paige, two years removed from his playing career at UNC, is returning to the state to play basketball, get married to a North Carolina girl and resume his dreams of playing in the NBA. “The accent can wait,” he said. “I’ll just stick with my old Midwestern accent for now.” (Greensboro News & Record)
