This year, North Carolina will be represented in the NBA Finals by one man: James Michael McAdoo. This will actually be the third time McAdoo will play in the finals, having been on the Warriors’ roster for the last two years as well. However like the last two years, it’s unlikely McAdoo will get much court time against the Cavaliers.
Despite that, it’s no surprise that UNC has a history of players having NBA Finals glory. Tar Heels in general have found success in the league over the years, and that has carried over to success on the biggest stage.
