I loved the era!!
There was such a thrill watching all those greats. From MJ to literally bleeding Carolina blue. The dread/excitment of murders row of the ACC and dook 2x. Trash talking moo fans. When the season ended, I would scour magazines and the ESPN ticker for any news of UNC basketball.Golden Era of ACC hoops and probably the sport of basketball in general. The 80s and 90s produced so much drama and so many legendary players at both the college and professional level.
I agree but disagree. The seventies belongs there too. I have never enjoyed UNC BB and college basketball in general more than watching those Packer/Thacker announced games on TV, and to me Phil Ford was the best of them all. The superstar recruits weren't there quite so much, but the level of basketball was arguably better before the supers brought their skills (and their egos) to the Hill. I think Dean did his best coaching then, because he had those teams playing like a fine watch.Golden Era of ACC hoops and probably the sport of basketball in general.
