Eric Montross was once a hero to a dying teen, who taught Montross the word’s true meaning

In November of 1993, Eric Montross was the big man on campus at UNC, literally and figuratively. He was the Tar Heels’ 7-foot center, the leader of the team that delivered Dean Smith his final national championship. Montross was a national college basketball star. Jason Clark, meanwhile, was a student at Jordan High in Durham, but too sick to attend. (AOL.com)
