Justin Jackson, as a Member of the Bucks, Wins 2021 NBA Title
Posted Jul 21, 2021

Tar Heel Justin Jackson, a member of the Bucks, joins 17 other UNC basketball players to win an NBA championship as a player. For Jackson to be in the NBA, much less an NBA champion, appeared to be a long shot just three months ago.
