Greatest former UNC athlete by state (Oklahoma): Steve Hale

Posted Jun 6, 2019
Perhaps Steve Hale could have played a couple of seasons in the NBA. Nobody will ever know because Hale decided before his career at North Carolina came to an end following the 1986 season he was going to medical school. Hale ended up becoming a pediatrician, spending the last 30-plus years in Burlington, VT, though he arrived at UNC from Enid, OK. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
