Ian Jackson walked with a limp growing up. His teammates compared the freshman guard to Captain Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Caribbean." His AAU coach nicknamed him "Captain Jack." And although his limp and the growing pains in his knee are gone, the moniker has stuck. It’s one Jackson has embraced. It's become his online username. (Daily Tar Heel)
