ACC in the NBA Finals: 32 years and counting
Posted May 29, 2013
Tim Duncan, formerly of Wake Forest, and Danny Green, formerly of UNC, have already gotten through to the NBA Finals with the San Antonio Spurs. That makes 32 straight years in which at least one former ACC player has been featured on the NBA's biggest stage. Miami and Indiana have a chance to pile on as well, with the Heat holding Chris Bosh (Georgia Tech) and Shane Battier (Duke) and Tyler Hansbrough (UNC) on the Pacers' roster.
