The S.J.G. Greater N.C. Pro-Am isn't just an exhibition league. Its founder, former UNC star and current NBA player Jerry Stackhouse, created the league, proclaimed as the "Rucker of the South," to teach younger kids how to play the game properly and develop personally. The league also enables high school athletes to perform on the same floor with big-name local players such as Chris Duhon, Ed Davis and Jameson Curry. (Raleigh News & Observer)
