Notable Players and Coaches

Almost too many to count... but we'll start with legendary coach Dean Smith. Fellow hall-of-famers Larry Brown and Roy Williams -- Carolina's current coach -- have also worn Carolina Blue, as did George Karl of the Denver Nuggets and Laker general manager Mitch Kupchak.

The list of players is even more impressive, including three members of the NBA's "50 Greatest Players" list (Michael Jordan, James Worthy, and Billy Cunningham) and an extensive list of NBA stars past and present that includes Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison, Sam Perkins, Brad Daugherty, Kenny Smith, Rasheed Wallace and Radhad McCants.
