Posted Jul 21, 2021
The Milwaukee Bucks are the 2021 NBA Champions after defeating the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. 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. (All Tar Heels)
