Julius Peppers' UNC Basketball Career

Posted Feb 1, 2019
In addition to thriving on the football field, Julius Peppers played two seasons of basketball at North Carolina. At 6-foot-7, Peppers was mostly a reserve forward during the 1999-2000 season and 2000-2001 season. He played under both head coach Bill Guthridge and Matt Doherty. Some of Peppers' more impressive plays came on high-flying, power dunks. (Inside Carolina)
