A Miserable Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Had To Wear A UNC Jacket After Losing Bet To Marvin Williams

Posted Mar 29, 2017
Kentucky and UNC have a ton of players in the NBA, and we had at least one pair of teammates make a bet on this weekend’s Elite Eight game: Hornet wings Marvin Williams and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. The two players each won national championships in their single collegiate seasons, Williams at UNC in 2005 and Kidd-Gilchrist at Kentucky in 2012. (The Spun)
