Can You Build The Perfect UNC Basketball Lineup?

Last week, we challenged people on social media to construct the best UNC basketball starting lineup using the graphic below. A five-person lineup had to be created using only $15, with each player assigned a dollar value.

Many of the entries built around the most expensive players: UNC legends Michael Jordan, James Worthy, and Phil Ford.

Jordan ($5), Worthy ($5), May ($1), Jackson ($1), Kenny Smith ($2)
Don’t @ me!

MJ, Psycho, Stack, Lawson, and May

Tough with only one center on here – forwards – Worthy and May, guards – Lawson and Smith, Center Hansborough and $1 left

Several users also argued that different players deserved more recognition and a higher dollar value.

How is Tyler, one of the greatest players in college history, not getting more love in this thread?

Jordan
Hansbrough
Kenny Smith
Vince
May

First of all Kenny Smith, $2?!!, you gotta be kidding me. “The Jet” should be worth no less than $4. Anyway,

Michael Jordan
Kenny Smith
Antawn Jamison
Jerry Stackhouse
Justin Jackson

Rasheed Sam Ray Coby Danny for $0 and keep my $15 and bet on my long odds against anybody’s $15 team.

In that same train of thought, other people decided to eschew the traditional five-man lineup entirely.

Worthy Ford Jordan (I will play with just these 3 against your 5)

Jordan Worthy Hansboro Berry… play 4 on 5 and still win

— Joe Argese (@qblax16) May 4, 2019

I’ll take the bottom three and not worry about having 5 on the court.
