Billy Cunningham: Back when everybody had a nickname, the North Carolina Tar Heel had one of the best: The Kangaroo Kid. His exceptional jumping ability led to 40 straight double-doubles in his college days and to a long and distinguished NBA career in the 1960s and 1970s that was honored with Hall of Fame induction in 1996.
