NBA teams have kicked off their media day, and many feature some former Tar Heels, one being Chicago Bulls [autotag]Coby White[/autotag].
White pulled up to media day, rocking a retro look, returning to his signature fro. Yes, the same fro White rocked during his playing days at UNC, which thrilled fans with his speedy layup finishes that left fans high-fiving in the stands.
Usually known for his cheerful demeanor, White was all smiles at media day, playing pranks on two-time Chicago All-Star Zach LaVine and answering questions about the upcoming season. One of those questions asked about his decision to return to the fro look.

It is great to see white in great spirits. He had a great offseason, resigning with the Bulls on a three-year $36 million deal. White is averaging 12.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in four seasons with Chicago.
