In 1982, North Carolina's Dean Smith finally won his first national title in a thrilling one-point win over Georgetown...the Tar Heels starting five was comprised of a freshman named Michael Jordan, two All-Americans in James Worthy and Sam Perkins, a blue-collor forward who later coached the Tar Heels in Matt Doherty...but most people forget the fifth member of this squad...the kid was point guard Jimmy Black
(number 21 in above photo)...
People remember Jordan's game winning shot, but don't realize that Black was the player who got the assist on that play...
Black is now a financial advisor for Raymond James Financial Services...he also penned a book "
Jimmy Black's Tales from the Tar Heels" along with Scott Fowler...

Good story! Per Finra though, Jimmy hasn't been registered since June of 2009.
