The University of North Carolina Tar Heels cut down the nets at last year's NCAA tournament, adding yet another title to the program's prestigious history. 

Of all of North Carolina's title winning teams, however, none may be more iconic than the 1982 National Championship team. Led by legendary coach Dean Smith, and with a roster boasting some of the greatest players ever — indeed, perhaps the greatest player ever — the '82 Heels won a thrilling, down-to-the-wire contest against the Georgetown Hoyas to claim the title. 

Below, we take a look at some of the key contributors to that team, as well as where they went after that iconic game. 

James Worthy was the top player on the 1982 team, winning the National Player of the Year and Final Four Most Outstanding Player awards that year.



Worthy went on to have a Hall of Fame NBA career as a part of the Showtime Lakers. He currently works as a Lakers TV analyst. Fun fact, he also once had a cameo on "Star Trek: The Next Generation."



Michael Jordan was a freshman on the 1982 Tar Heels team, and he played a pivotal role averaging 13.5 points per game. He also hit the game-winning shot against Georgetown in the title game.
