In Memory of Walter Davis

Posted Nov 27, 2023
Walter Davis, the great UNC basketball player, died on November 2. I remember the highlight of his famous buzzer-beater against the Blue Devils in 1974 was shown before every UNC-Duke game throughout my childhood. Reports vary on his distance from the basket. Some say 25 feet, others up to 35 feet. Woody Durham lost his mind: “UN-BE-lievable!” (Chapelboro.com)
