SI writers and editors share their memories of Dean Smith

Posted Feb 10, 2015
“[Dean Smith] was just always really working hard to make sure you understood the humble side of life, working toward your goals, always being mindful of others, trying to give back to your community. And he’d always say, ‘Your community is where you’re at right now. You don’t always have to give back just to your hometown.’ Just stuff like that, man: Almost too-good-to-be-true type stuff.” (Sports Illustrated)
