What an honor it was to have one of the greatest players in ACC history and one of the best players to ever wear a UNC jersey on the podcast. Larry Miller joined us to share his basketball experiences from one of the more fascinating eras of hoops.

You will see his number 44 hanging in the rafters. Larry Miller is known as the recruit who helped spark the North Carolina program playing for legendary Coach Dean Smith during his early years of coaching. Miller earned ACC Men’s Basketball Player of the Year TWICE both in 1966 and 1967. He was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary Men’s Basketball Team being recognized as one of the fifty greatest players to ever play in the ACC. Miller went on to get drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers, but chose to play in the ABA over the NBA. Miller set and forever holds the ABA record of 67 points in a single game. Miller shares great stories about growing up in PA, choosing UNC, Dean Smith, Charlie Scott, Billy Cunningham, Lew Alcindor, Wes Unseld, Wilt Chamberlain, the ABA, his funeral, acting, his book, and MUCH more!

This was an honor to have the opportunity to learn from one of the all-time greats and we can’t thank Larry enough for his time.
