As a former member of the North Carolina men's basketball team and the Los Angeles Lakers, James Worthy is considered to be one of the best basketball players of all-time.
During his three-year UNC career, Worthy helped lead the Tar Heels to the 1982 national championship, where he was named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player. He was also named the National Player of the Year that year.
After the 1982 season, he was drafted by Los Angeles with the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft. He played 12 seasons in the NBA — all with the Lakers — in which he was a seven-time NBA All-Star, a member of three NBA title teams and the MVP of the 1988 NBA Finals.
