The great Sam Perkins is giving back in Chapel Hill

Posted Jun 29, 2017
Every final week in June, former UNC star and NBA great Sam Perkins spends his time in Chapel Hill teaching kids the fundamentals of the game. The idea of a basketball camp originated in 2004. This week, the Sam Perkins Basketball Camp is at East Chapel Hill High School. The goal is to learn basketball skills, develop friendships, have fun, and to just take the kids off the streets.
