Enter to win Roy Williams’ new autobiography

More from DC Scrap

roy williamsWe have a sweet prize to give away today. Roy Williams’ new autobiography Hard Work: My Life On and Off the Court won’t hit stores until November 3, but you can enter to win a copy today.

All you need to do is drop us a comment naming who you think are the five best players to ever play for the University of North Carolina. On November 7 we’ll randomly pick one of the entries and that person will win a free copy of Roy’s new book, which Kirkus Reviews calls “A near-perfect embodiment of the American Dream…”.

Hard Work covers, among other things, the tenets of his coaching system, how he sold calendars to supplement his income when given the chance to work under Dean Smith for $2,700/year, Michael Jordan at UNC and the ‘82 National Championship, his face-to-face Final Four games against Dean Smith in 1991 (win) and 1993 (loss), how the morning after winning the 2005 Championship he met his assistant in the parking lot at the Smith Center at six in the morning to go recruiting, his rivalry with Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski, the most political pick-up game, he has ever been a part of: UNC vs. Obama, and much more.

    I’ve always kind of admired Roy Williams, just like i’ve always kinda liked Mike Kryzewski (sp?), but have never wanted to admit it, being a UK fan and all. But the man, and the program, are iconic.

    Top 5 UNC players of all time…as per me.

    1. Phil Ford
    2. James Worthy
    3. Michael Jordan
    4. Tyler Hansborough
    5. Antawn Jamison
