While he was a great and important contributor to a national championship team, Theo Pinson is not quite in the inner circle of North Carolina Tar Heels basketball greats. What’s not in doubt that is that he is one of the most beloved Tar Heels ever. In addition to being a key piece to a title team, his affable manner, love for UNC and being a Tar Heel has made him a perpetual fan favorite.
With all that, it’s also not surprising that a lot of that has translated into him being a fan favorite in the NBA.
