Harrison Barnes used to get dropped off by teammate John Henson to court his now-wife

Posted Sep 2, 2018
Dallas Mavs forward Harrison Barnes’ wedding story involves determination, rides from a former teammate, and lots of ice cream. The Dallas Mavericks star was at the peak of his collegiate career at UNC, when he met Brittany, a cheerleader for the Tar Heels. Teammate John Henson, now a member of the Milwaukee Bucks, did the most of his wingman duties by dropping him off. (Clutch Points)
