Tar Heels young and old, kick off first two weeks of NBA season

Posted Oct 31, 2018
From Vince Carter to Justin Jackson, Tar Heels old and young are performing in the NBA — 18 years apart. Here's how they are doing the first two weeks of the season. Vince Carter was dunking at UNC in 1998. Twenty years later, he slammed a windmill dunk with ease in warm-ups for Monday's game against the 76ers. The 41-year-old is in his 21st NBA season.
