NBA Archive 75: Billy Cunningham
Posted Jan 14, 2022
Billy Cunningham, the lean leaper, who earned the nickname “Kangaroo Kid,” became a collegiate star in the days before Dean Smith’s program was a national powerhouse. As such, Cunningham became the first UNC player to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame, but he also was a rare Tar Heels star who played in neither the NCAA tournament nor the NIT.
