Former UNC standout and 1982 Player of the Year James Worthy will be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame on Nov. 20.

Worthy was part of the 1982 national championship team that was Dean Smith’s first NCAA title-winning squad. That team also featured Michael Jordan and Sam Perkins.

The Gastonia native averaged 14.5 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in his three-year career at UNC and went on to win three NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers.
