Dean Smith Showed Up At Rasheed Wallace's House The Day After Winning The 93' Title To Recruit Him

True Carolina fans know this story. It’s been around for decades. When the team got off the plane at RDU, then hit campus, Coach Smith was missing. We found out he was in Philly recruiting some kid.

Dean Smith established that "Giving Back" mentality with his players over his career. It's a beautiful legacy that is still going on after his passing.

Sheed might just be one of the most under appreciated ballers of all time. Dude was money all day

That Tarheel brotherhood is different. RIP Dean Smith

I'm a huge UNC FAN and this is the first time I've heard this story. RIP DEAN E SMITH

Dean Smith was a class act coach. Rasheed Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse, Dante Callebria were solid players at Carolina. MJ, Sam Perkins coming back to play against them in the summer was a tradition.

I met Sheed in North Philly while he was with the Pistons at the time. He is the most down to earth dude ever. He pretty much had the same gear he has on now. You wouldn't even know he was a millionaire by what he was wearing .

Love you Rasheed! Favorite UNC player of all time. That 95' team is still my favorite. Sheed, Stack, MCinnis, then Carter, Jamison and then Cota. Those days will never be forgotten.

Coach Smith always humble and willing to humble. Humility with grace is so uncommon nowadays.

Always loved Sheed. Ball Don’t Lie!

I went to UNC and teach at TSU. I always tell my students Dean Smith stories. Great man, great mind. Thanks. RASHEED!

Anyone who has had a influential coach, man those stories are always legendary!

He’s right about Phil Ford. #12 🙌

One of the Best Defenders I’ve ever seen. He was the only guy to guard Timmy. An incredible offensive player as well. When he was in P-Town they all tried to make him into something he didn’t want. Still amazing player

I legit laughed out loud when Sheed told the Dean Smith story 🤣🤣🤣

RIP City guy born and raised. I literally still wear my Rasheed jersey all the time. Absolute legend for the Blazers. He went to war for RIP City every single time.

Rasheed Wallace is one of the beat of my Era.... that's how I can spot a bum.... they don't compare on no level of to competitors.... Rasheed was just trying to win the game.... even when he was old .... he was still able to play because he learned the game from the King of management of the clock ball movement play as a team.... An it showed in college OK the court as well as the NBA this man was a First round pick... All Star... a one of the original stretch bigs... can handle the ball,,, play with his back to the basket pass... An most PLAY MAN D..... he played man against HOF players.........respect

I appreciate Rasheed's respect and Honor of Dean Smith.

Mack Brown came to the hood to recruit my older brother for football. He even wall to the bodega to get a corn muffin and a green tea

UNC....an Amazing basketball program. So much heritage there.
