Ed Davis back in blue

Posted Jun 26, 2009
As he went through the final week of the season with the Tar Heels, one of Ed Davis' many contributions to their championship was outside the job description for a 6-10 power forward: comic relief. Instead of obsessing over this one last shot at a title, UNC's upperclassmen distracted themselves by teasing Davis about his impending — actually, imaginary — departure for the NBA. "I always said I was coming back," Davis says. (Sporting News)
