A look at former Tar Heels who are in 2023 NBA Playoffs

We look at former Tar Heels in the hunt for NBA gold.

It is again that time of year when UNC fans can witness former Tar Heels help their NBA teams battle to be crowned champions.

Throughout the years, many former Tar Heels have shined come playoff time, adding to their already-established careers by introducing an NBA championship to their collection. Of course, Michael Jordan leads all former Tar Heels with six rings in as many tries, but you must remember Mitch Kupchak, James Worthy, Rick Fox, Danny Green and Harrison Barnes to name a few.

This year is no different. A few former Heels have the chance to join the list of former UNC players who have won an NBA championship. Not only will they get what is regarded as the biggest prize on the professional basketball level, but they will also help widen the gap between North Carolina players to win a ring (18) and Duke players to do so (6).

If you need a reminder of which Tar Heels are left to cheer for this NBA playoffs, we have you covered.
