Ty Lawson On Sports Illustrated Cover

Posted Mar 6, 2009
Ty Lawson is on the cover of the March 9 Sports Illustrated that hit news stands today. Lawson is the latest in a long run of Tar Heels to appear on the cover of the popular magazine. Last year, Tyler Hansbrough was twice on the cover and no one will forget the cover shot of Dean Smith drawing on a chalk board with four starters from the 1982 national championship team in the background. Some guy name Jordan was missing, though. (Tar Heel Blue)
