J.R. Smith puts on show at UNC


When arrived at the Smith Center on Saturday to compete in the World's Greatest Alumni game, he had a game jersey waiting for him -- the black one worn by the "visiting" ACC All Stars. And even after Smith switched to the Carolina Pros team at the request of former North Carolina standout , Smith figuratively stood out as the black sheep of the Carolina family. But by the end of the night, any hint of boos for the could-have-been Carolina guard had turned to a chorus of oohs and aahs. Smith threw down an amazing arrays of dunks -- 10 in all -- and scored 26 points to lead the Carolina Pros to a 139-126 victory in front of about 10,000 fans. (Durham Herald-Sun)
