Art Heyman leaves lasting legacy at Duke, helped spark rivalry with UNC

Posted Aug 29, 2012
Art Heyman was a trail blazer of sorts back in his day. He was a superstar basketball player who committed in the spring of 1959 to play for Frank McGuire and North Carolina but ended up helping rival Duke beat the Tar Heels several times, igniting what might be the greatest rivalry in American sports. But as integral as Heyman was to giving that rivalry the fuel it still feeds off of, he was more important to Duke basketball in general. (FOX Sports Carolinas)
