David Thompson
NC State. Big influence on MJ himself.

Thompson was unstopable. He led state to an overall 79-7 record and national title. His 27 points per game avg. and defense over three seasons was second to none. If state could have played in the 73' tournament, Thompson would have ended UCLA's dominance then.

Even more fun to hate than JJ Redick. Only player to ever have an ESPN documentary about how much people hate him.

The most talented player in college basketball, making his story that much more tragic. Who knows what he would have become.

Jordan was a great player but he wasn't nearly as good as he was in the NBA. The 82' title that UNC won was because of Worthy. The Jordan led teams in 83' and 84' didn't even make the Final Four. A lot of that was because Smith held him back.

He is the conference's all-time leading scorer, with 2,872 points.
He is only player in ACC history to lead his team all four years in both scoring and rebounds.

JJ Redick
Much fun as it is to hate him, his ability to score cements him as one of Duke's (and the ACC's) all-time best.
