Top 40 UNC football and basketball players of all time: No. 35 - Sean May

Posted May 7, 2022
The Most Outstanding Player of the 2005 Final Four, Sean May’s performance over the final two months of that season may have been the best stretch by a Tar Heel ever. He capped the regular season with a 26-point, 24-rebound effort in a thrilling win over Duke. May was the Sports Illustrated National Player of the Year and was a first-team All-America.
