True Carolina fans know this story. It’s been around for decades. When the team got off the plane at RDU, then hit campus, Coach Smith was missing. We found out he was in Philly recruiting some kid.

[@scottharm3932]

I remember the stories about Rasheed playing NBA Jamz in Chapel Hill too

[@jhaft703]

@@scottharm3932 I vaguely remember hearing stories about this when I was a freshman, I guess student union used to have some arcade cabs. MKII also

[@peterparkertv8071]

Dean smith was different

[@coache1nine]

Dean Smith established that "Giving Back" mentality with his players over his career. It's a beautiful legacy that is still going on after his passing.

[@Greatshamefamiry]

Sheed might just be one of the most under appreciated ballers of all time. Dude was money all day

[@phitjuice8041]

Without him the pistons don't win!! If Rick Carlisle had sheed they would have been champions in 03

[@larrybrown8483]

I member when sheed came into his own with the uptowns on..

[@zeaferjones1404]

Rasheed could have won 4 championships and then he'd be seen differently but the great teams he was on always had bad luck. Like those great 2000 Blazers or the Piston's trying to repeat. Also, Celtics could have beaten the Lakers in 2010.

[@Greatshamefamiry]

@@zeaferjones1404 Dude’s a HOFer if you ask me

[@garccoleman386]

His bark made him intolerable. Real ballers would never make that comment we know dude got game that’s all the appreciation that matters

[@jamisoncrowe1872]

I'm a huge UNC FAN and this is the first time I've heard this story. RIP DEAN E SMITH

[@CryptoIntelligentsia]

Love you Rasheed! Favorite UNC player of all time. That 95' team is still my favorite. Sheed, Stack, MCinnis, then Carter, Jamison and then Cota. Those days will never be forgotten.

[@nathanielrobinson173]

I still can't believe that team with Stack and Sheed didn't get a championship.

[@hippotuskman7808]

Mine is Julius Peppers Probably the best athlete ever to come out of UNC, if not top 3 next to MJ and LT Neither was as big as Julius tho

[@nathanielrobinson173]

@@hippotuskman7808 Good one! The crazy thing is that I didn't even know Julius Peppers played football until the year he and Ronald Curry decided to skip basketball in preparation for the NFL draft. I looked up his football stats and realized we had a monster on the basketball squad the whole time 😂. Julius Peppers was a great player and even better person.

[@Guitarsoul24734]

Ed Cota was an amazing college player, I was always surprised he never really stuck around in the NBA, his court vision and passing skill was insane.

[@garccoleman386]

Wait… i forgot about that squad Who was there again 😂

[@toneloc6504]

Coach Smith always humble and willing to humble. Humility with grace is so uncommon nowadays.

[@WestPhillyblack]

I met Sheed in North Philly while he was with the Pistons at the time. He is the most down to earth dude ever. He pretty much had the same gear he has on now. You wouldn't even know he was a millionaire by what he was wearing .

[@lpowers]

I went to UNC and teach at TSU. I always tell my students Dean Smith stories. Great man, great mind. Thanks. RASHEED!

Lol dude it’s been like this for 75 years at unc seriously…. Maybe it’s been this way at the u since the late 80’s early 90’s

[@kamilebrahimoff3589]

Dean Smith was a class act coach. Rasheed Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse, Dante Callebria were solid players at Carolina. MJ, Sam Perkins coming back to play against them in the summer was a tradition.

[@darkwingduck4127]

Always loved Sheed. Ball Don’t Lie!

[@theknow7557]

Anyone who has had a influential coach, man those stories are always legendary!

[@1fastmex]

RIP City guy born and raised. I literally still wear my Rasheed jersey all the time. Absolute legend for the Blazers. He went to war for RIP City every single time.

[@raulmeza1564]

I'm still trying to get a Sheed Blazers Jersey. I would wear it as much as i can.

[@1fastmex]

@@raulmeza1564 💯

[@EloisPowell-jg3io]

The 1995 team was one of Coach Smith's finest hours. Great starting five but absolutely no bench. Pearce Landry who was one of the few reserves who saw significant playing time was a former walk-on. Wow!

[@Flamangatang]

I legit laughed out loud when Sheed told the Dean Smith story 🤣🤣🤣

[@MrBmick79]

the impersonation of him was spot on too.

[@mookhamilton3474]

Me too 🤣

[@matthew-kh9iy]

UNC summer runs = best basketball ever played.

[@jimmyfaherty8588]

One of the Best Defenders I’ve ever seen. He was the only guy to guard Timmy. An incredible offensive player as well. When he was in P-Town they all tried to make him into something he didn’t want. Still amazing player

[@canceradvocate2256]

Sheed is on point. I met Coach Ford while working at the Carolina Basketball Camp. When I said I was from Philly and live around the corner from the Wallace family (Malcolm, Muhammad and Sheed). While talking with Coach Ford he told us the exact same story and shared how much he loves their family. Note, Sheed’s brother (my classmate) played the O line in football and when they called that had him pull he was pancaking anyone in sight. Shout out to the Wallace family, the Burnham family and Boyer Street. TSSV….. if you know you know. #Philly215

[@1RicoStunna]

UNC....an Amazing basketball program. So much heritage there.

[@steveholland2144]

I appreciate Rasheed's respect and Honor of Dean Smith.

[@SwaggerLikeUz]

Loved watching His 95' UNC team. Dean Smith is the greatest coach of all time in my book. His players became Legends on the court & off the court.

[@stanleycabiness2231]

Rasheed Wallace is one of the beat of my Era.... that's how I can spot a bum.... they don't compare on no level of to competitors.... Rasheed was just trying to win the game.... even when he was old .... he was still able to play because he learned the game from the King of management of the clock ball movement play as a team.... An it showed in college OK the court as well as the NBA this man was a First round pick... All Star... a one of the original stretch bigs... can handle the ball,,, play with his back to the basket pass... An most PLAY MAN D..... he played man against HOF players.........respect

[@lordkariftheemperor9777]

As a Duke fan i was happy when sheed and Stackhouse went to the draft SMFH i still get nightmares of Stackhouse and that reverse Duke on Duke at Duke

[@windoroliver3792]

That was freaking nasty!

[@80sPastorDude]

They left but Jamison and Carter walked right in.

[@khalilshabazz7702]

Mack Brown came to the hood to recruit my older brother for football. He even wall to the bodega to get a corn muffin and a green tea

[@luisrodriguez-mb7cc]

Worthy , Jordan , Wallace , Carter . Wow, the amount of talent that passed through UNC is amazing. There are only a handful of schools which had incredible icons in their rosters. I can think of UCLA, Kansas, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky and Georgetown. Sorry if I missed some names on this list.

[@DMNbyLoso]

Coach Stackhouse now! That’s love man

[@GreyBeard_Fit]

I remember in the early Fall of 1994 (late August as it was the 1st week of classes) heading to the Duke Student weightroom (Card Gym) but skipping my workout cause an All-Star crew of former & current Duke and UNC players were playing pick-up. I watched for at least 60-75 minutes. That was almost 30 years ago but I think it was G. Hill, Hurley, J. Capel, Cherokee Parks, Laettner, E. Montross (RIP sir), ‘Sheed, Stackhouse, Donald Williams, Jeff MccInnis….it was at least 10 guys from each school alternating runs.

[@bootneyfarnsworth5689]
