Bobcats add touch of Tar Heels blue

Posted Jun 29, 2005

One year after drafting Connecticut's Emeka Okafor, the Bobcats did the Tar Heel two-step, drafting North Carolina's Raymond Felton and Sean May on Tuesday night. That's three first-rounders, all with national-championship rings. And that's no coincidence. "I don't think you can overestimate the culture of a national championship," Bobcats coach/general manager Bernie Bickerstaff said. "They know how to win." (Miami Herald)
