Sam Perkins

Sam Perkins might have been overshadowed by a couple of legends while at North Carolina, but he did plenty of damage on his own during his four years at UNC.

Playing sidekick to either James Worthy or Michael Jordan, Perkins still managed to get his hands on the ball enough to outdo both NBA Hall of Famers in the Tar Heels’ record books.

Perkins scored 2,145 career points, good enough for third all-time at North Carolina, and he snared 1,167 career rebounds, which was good for first place until Tyler Hansbrough broke his record last season.

The player nicknamed “Big Smooth” also earned three straight first-team all-American selections from 1982-1984.

Perkins’ career collegiate averages for points and rebounds are 15.9 and 8.6 respectively.
