SI.Com: Iconic UNC Pictures

Tar Heel Fan on February 26th, 2009 |

SI.com has a huge section of their website called the “SI Vault” where they have all sorts of historical goodies from online copies of past Sports Illustrated issues to photo galleries. One such gallery is all UNC pictures. I have posted a few after the jump. Check out the whole gallery here.

I liked the one of MJ and Sam in class. The one of MJ wearing Jordache jeans and playing Ms. Pac-Man was pretty good too.

Sam Perkins was long. I think the reason Jay Bilas talks about guys being long so much is because Sam Perkins traumatized him.

I like the one of Jordan hitting the game winner. Anyone know if you can order a print of that.

Where are all the pictures of Roy Williams?

I think they used to have a big blow-up of that picture in Four Corners, which was a Chapel Hill eatery, back when I was there. Whoever the photographer was, sure got an iconic shot.

I missed 1957, but that win against Georgetown, was one of the happiest days of my life.

There was one in the gallery. There were also ones of Hansbrough, Wallace and Jamison I did not post.
