The 1983 NCAA Championship game was one of the most memorable in the history of the tournament, where the NC State Wolfpack slightly defeated the Houston Cougars (54-52). The game featured future NBA greats Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler.
North Carolina State University’s Dereck Whittenburg tried a desperate long three as the match was drawn 52, but Lorenzo Charles jumped, caught the ball, dunked just before the buzzer, and gave the team the title. Gave.
Thurl Bailey, who led the Wolfpack score, says he remembers the match and the dunk who won the match every day, even though 39 years have passed since the match took place.
“It’s part of me every day,” said a former NBA star. Betway.. “I got something in my office that reminds me every day. Write me, call me, send me a message and DM me that they remember it We welcomed people to do it. I live it every day.
“It doesn’t have to be a sport, but I live in that moment. I live that journey in almost everything. Everything I represent is to be a champion.”
That same year, Bailey was drafted by the Utah Jazz into the NBA as the seventh draft topic. He spent 11 years in the league, averaging 12.8 points and scoring 5.1 rebounds in 26.8 minutes per game.
