Meet the last UNC basketball player to wear 23 before Michael Jordan

The man who wore number 23 at UNC before Michael Jordan made it legendary didn't want that number. Ged Doughton wanted his old high school 22, but Dean Smith told him Dudley Bradley already had dibs. As Ged said, it pays to be lucky. Doughton averaged two points per game at UNC, but his choice of number made for a lifetime of laughs.
