Welcome to Episode 1 of the Wine With Friends Podcast!

In our very first episode, host Marcus Ginyard sits down with former North Carolina Tar Heel great Deon Thompson for a wide-ranging conversation about basketball, life, and wine.

Deon takes us through his journey playing professional basketball all over the world, sharing stories from competing overseas and experiencing wine culture in different countries along the way. He also reflects on what it truly meant to wear Carolina blue, his time at UNC, and the moments that shaped him as a Tar Heel.

To wrap it up, Deon gives us his all-time Carolina Basketball starting five—a must-hear list for any UNC fan.

Pour a glass, pull up a chair, and enjoy the start of a new conversation where great stories and great wine come together. 🍷
