Vince Carter stepped foot on UNC’s campus 25 years ago. There is an entire generation who only knows Vinsanity through YouTube videos and social media posts. Some only know him as an NBA player who took the court across four decades. Even fewer can recall his college days. Unless you were 10 years or older in 1995, you probably only have a hazy memory of Vince’s three-year developmental period as a Tar Heel. I say that from personal experience.
I was 10 years old in 1995. Yes, I knew the 1993 championship team by heart, sported an Eric Montross-style flat-top throughout elementary school, was heartbroken over ‘Sheed and Stack declaring early, and will always hate the Arkansas Razorbacks for that 1995 Final Four.
