Top 40 UNC football and basketball players of all time: No. 23 - Walter Davis
Posted May 21, 2022
Amazingly, Walter Davis was never named to any major first or second-team All-America squads, but he was first-team All-ACC in 1977, All-ACC in 1976, was on the 1977 NCAA All-Tournament team, and was on the USA gold medal winning team in the 1976 Olympics. He might be the most underappreciated UNC player ever during his time as a Tar Heel.
