Coby White only played at North Carolina for one season but the bond he formed with his Tar Heels teammates has lasted well after his time ended at Chapel Hill.
Of course, White went viral on the night of the 2019 NBA Draft for his reaction to hearing Cameron Johnson was selected 11th by the Phoenix Suns. He has also shown love to his former teammates several other times over the course of the past year.
On Wednesday, White hosted a Q&A on Twitter as part of the “NBA Together” campaign and fielded a number of questions from fans, including the two players he would want to start a 3-on-3 team with.
“If I had to pick two other guys in the NBA to play on my 3-on-3 team, I feel like I’d pick Nassir Little and Cam Johnson simply because we played at UNC together,” White said. “We got drafted in the same year so I think it would be really cool to have both of them on my team and just make old times like we were all playing at UNC.”
Q: If you were to start a 3-on-3 team with you and any other 2 players in the NBA, who would you choose and why? #NBATogether

After picking Little and Johnson, it is undoubtedly clear White still views those players as some of his brothers. From a pure talent standpoint, the trio would likely present some problems to other teams as each player brings something different to the table.
