Danny Green gets Heels going -- right from the jump
Posted Jan 19, 2008
Most college basketball games begin with a big man jumping at midcourt. But at North Carolina, they open with a sixth man dancing in front of the bench. Junior Danny Green's high-hopping, torso-twisting, jersey-plucking moves to House of Pain's "Jump Around" have become a superstitious staple of the top-ranked Tar Heels' undefeated season -- and a popular ritual among Tar Heels fans and teammates.
