Coby White would pick two former UNC teammates to start a 3-on-3 team

Posted May 22, 2020
Coby White only played at UNC for one season but the bond he formed with his Tar Heels teammates has lasted well after his time ended at Chapel Hill. Of course, White went viral on the night of the 2019 NBA Draft for his reaction to hearing Cameron Johnson was selected 11th by the Suns. He has also shown love to his former teammates several other times. (USA Today)
