RIP Dean Smith

[Lawrence Wright]

I equate the UNC 1993 team to Duke's 2010 team. You left off Montross and Donald Williams from the '93 roster for UNC, they were great college players. I think Montross was a lottery pick for the Celtics.

UNC doesn't win the '93 title without Kevin Salvadori.

UNC doesn't win the '93 title without Kevin Salvadori.

Don't forget about Scott Cherry and Matt Winstrom.

Don't forget about Scott Cherry and Matt Winstrom.

No doubt.

But don't forget how Kevin Salvadori paved the way for guys like Serge Zwikker.

The funeral service for former North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith was held on Thursday, and some of the biggest names in the sport attended to pay their respects to the Tar Heel legend.

Despite his passing, Smith's legacy will live on - through his accomplishments and via the wisdom he imparted on his former players and assistant coaches who became head coaches themselves.

ESPN's College GameDay remembered Smith on Saturday morning, and they also showed a graphic of Smith's coaching tree. ESPN college basketball's official Twitter account also tweeted out the graphic - as you can see below.

No doubt.

But don't forget how Kevin Salvadori paved the way for guys like Serge Zwikker.

Serge Zwikker was a 100% three point shooter, if I recall correctly. 1 for 1 on his career.

Enough with the formalities...let's call the man by his hard-earned nickname: "The Power Serge"
