Chase Blanton says:

kentucky by far has produced the best nba players. AD, KAT, Book, Fox, Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe, Rondo etc

Caleb Holliman says:

Let’s not forget Danny green, not a super star in the nba but he’s an essential championship piece

daveon autry says:

I’m a duke fan but obviously UNC does 🤷🏾‍♂️

koleon06 says:

Yea idk how Jordan got best collegiate player over Kareem

Travis Burnett says:

Remember it take 2 UNC coaches to equal the coach K total. Like I tell all UNC fans. But they don't have back 2 back. Duke does

Travis Burnett says:

Past UNC and present duke. Stephen it's not even an mile.

Chinese Virus says:

Ok let me tell peoples ok.
H.S. Is the best because phenom and best ever and GOAT Lebron don't need no college to be number 1 of all time bruh

killakay says:

Y'all gotta do more fan debates. When everything gets back to normal, it'd be cool to have at least one or two fan debates a week.

bobby hall says:

Jordan and James Worthy have 9 💍 just between the two of them. Not even a comparison

Pat4Clippers says:

Still, I think Lakers getting Magic in 1979 and Bulls getting MJ in 1984 worked out well for both franchises. Magic won the Lakers 5 and Bulls got the GOAT.

Pat4Clippers says:

In 1979, Lakers won a coin flip over the Bulls that landed Magic. The pick was from the Jazz from a Gail Goodrich trade.

tintman831 says:

UNC=Jordan
Argument over

Logan Murphy says:

1:22 Kenny smith was a mediocre point guard who got carried by Hakeem Olajuwon, stop it stephen a

Pat4Clippers says:

How lucky can the Lakers be? They got the Cavs' pick in 1982. Worthy just won a national championship. Lakers won an NBA championship. Lakers still got the #1 pick to draft Worthy.

Joe its Joe says:

Larry Bird took nobodies to the National Championship

Pat4Clippers says:

MJ and Worthy on the Bulls would've been an interesting duo. More offensive firepower than MJ & Pip. Would've overcame the Bad Boys sooner. Bulls had the 7th pick in 1982.

Terry Jones says:

Duke has more heat right now… UNC has cooled off as of late…

Pat4Clippers says:

Mitch Kupchak was also a Tar Heel and now is GM of MJ's Hornets. Another Laker connection…

Michel Little says:

Bruh when did espn become this fulltime debate show on football and basketball?

Pat4Clippers says:

Worthy could've had a better career if he wasn't a Laker because Magic and Kareem made him a third wheel. Lakers got Worthy thanks to the worst owner ever. And it's not Sterling or Dolan.

Pat4Clippers says:

Duke had better players playing in college. Didn't equate to the pros. As good as Kyrie Irving is, will he ever be remembered as great as James Worthy? I don't think so.

Pat4Clippers says:

North Carolina produced the greatest player ever. That's the only reason I need picking them. Case closed.

quincy tidwell says:

The last 20 years NC still might have Duke

Jordan Silvestri says:

UNC wins, but recently, UNC players are mostly bums. Duke has 4 top 20 players in the NBA. 3 of them are under 23 lol.

Daniel Hill says:

It’s clearly UNC. Worthy and Jordan?? Vince Carter?? Rasheed Wallace?? Debate over

Chad Dickey says:

Kentucky has the best
