Hoop star Daugherty joins ESPN/ABC team
Former Tar Heel, NASCAR team owner to be part of broadcast team
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- Brad Daugherty, best known to sports fans as one of the biggest stars of the Cleveland Cavaliers, has a new position in front of the camera as a NASCAR analyst.
The job with ESPN will build on Daugherty's long-running efforts to increase minority participation in one of the least diverse of the major sports.
"This is huge," he told The Citizen-Times in a story published Thursday. "It's unprecedented to have a full-time African-American covering NASCAR, and I'm excited about the opportunity."
Daugherty was chosen first overall by Cleveland in the 1986 NBA Draft and played in five All-Star games before an injury forced his retirement after eight seasons in 1994. He still holds franchise records including points scored (10,389), total rebounds (5,227) and free throws made (2,741).
The Cavaliers retired his jersey in 1997, and he was unanimously selected to the team's All-Time Starting Five during its 30th anniversary celebration in the 1999-2000 season.
Daugherty, a Black Mountain native also starred for Owen High School and the University of North Carolina, where he played alongside Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins and Kenny Smith.
Daugherty has been involved in NASCAR for almost 20 years, as an owner of race teams in the Busch and Craftsman Truck Series, and a member of the Rules and Competition Committee.
He and NASCAR chief executive Brian France co-founded NASCAR's Diversity Council several years ago.
"Brian said to me that the cultural impact of this is huge, and I think that's what intrigued me the most," Daugherty said. "I thought that if I don't step up and take this opportunity, who will? It probably wouldn't be another African-American. So I felt some responsibility as well as being a big racing fan who loves the sport."

Before Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Phil Ford or any of the others, there was the guy that paved the way for them all. The first black ball player at UNC...Charlie Scott.

Vince Carter and Antione Jamison or Rasheed Wallace and Jerry Stackhouse
I am going to go with Jerry Stackhouse and Rasheed Wallace
and to answer the original question James Worthy

good question, its a tossup, stack got lost a bit in the shadow of iverson then digging detroit out after grant hill jetted only to be bounced to dc. vince and tawn have had slightly better careers individually, but stack and sheed have been part of better squads.
at carolina though, tawn and vince went to the final four two out of three years with coach gut, i believe. vince was a highlight everytime he touched the ball and tawn was probably the best raw scorer unc has had in modern day history. i remember the dook game where he scored 31 points with the ball in his hand a total of 40 or 50 seconds the whole game.
he was just getting position and hitting that flipshot. fucking amazing

I agree. The Heels have had a bunch of great players, and will continue to.
When you see this...
You've got two choices. Get down or lay down. And when you lay down you stay down!
GO HEELS!!!
how could you forget joe forte!?

College Highlights: In 2001, Joseph was selected as the co-ACC Player of the Year. A consensus First-Team All-America he led Carolina in scoring (20.9), free-throw percentage (.810), three-pointers made (55) and steals (67) as a sophomore.
The 2000 ACC Rookie of the Year, Forte won the Jimmie Dempsey Award given to UNC's overall statistical leader. As a freshmen, he led Carolina in scoring (16.7) and steal s (54), was second in assists (94), and third in rebounds (5.5). Forte was the first UNC freshman to lead the team in scoring since freshmen became eligible to play in 1972-73 and scored 600 points his first season shattering the school record for points by a freshman formerly held by Sam Perkins. A second team All Acc honoree and unanimous selection to the ACC's All-freshman team, Forte was named First-Team freshman All-America by the Sporting News and Second-Team Freshman All-America by Basketball times. He was also named National Freshman of the Year by the Columbus (Ohio) touchdown Club and was selected as the Most Valuable Player of the Maui Invitational leading the Tar Heels to three wins and the title. Against Tulsa (11/11/00), He set a Smith Center record with 38 points.
Personal: Forte played for legendary prep coach Morgan Wooten and earned first team All-America honors by USA Today as a senior at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattasville, Md. He averaged 22.1 points, 8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game his final season. As a junior, he averaged 19.2 points and 11.9 points as a sophomore.
Yes he was the first, but just due to the times if not him someone else would have been. And you can't say for sure that if he had not been the first that the rest would not have followed (considering the passage of time). So for for now lets just give him credit for being the first and not for blazing the trail........
HOLLA
