But there is one among that group of 43 that hangs uncomfortably, the presence of which cannot be reconciled with the purpose and spirit of the tradition of which it regrettably became a part.
He was also, of course, a key member of the national championship team before becoming the 14 th pick in the NBA draft. That sounds like the beginning of a good story in a good life. Instead, McCants has insisted that it be otherwise.
And if that were the real purpose, it would be wrong -- there is room in the rafters, as there should be, for people with the courage to tell unflattering truths, especially when they push UNC forward. But Rashad McCants is no bastion of courage and truth, and this is not about the grades Deborah Crowder handed out. What McCants has alleged — notably, to select members of the press, but not to anyone with actual authority and responsibility — goes far beyond taking paper classes.
Among the highlights:. McCants went as far as to describe carpooling with other players to pick up the papers, turn them in, and move on with their day.
In order to believe these things, you have to be willing to believe all of the following:. Considering only what is on public record, McCants has made any number of transparently false claims. Putting aside the question of how the person conducting this interview was able to beat back the need to spew coffee through his nose, it is odd that a guy who claims to be so aggrieved over the loss of educational opportunity has never bothered to seek to complete his education at UNC, despite an open invitation from UNC to do so.
His teammate, Marvin Williams, recently did just that , working hard in the summers over 10 years to complete his UNC degree despite having spent only one season as a UNC basketball player, to say nothing of the fact that unlike McCants, he has had to find the time to do that in the midst of a long and successful NBA career. Roy Williams was all over who was and was not attending class, making players run wind sprints if they skipped.
Either no one cared whether anyone went to class or not, or they cared a great deal. McCants is absolutely convinced that, with the possible exception of Khloe Kardashian, the only reason for the gap between the NBA career he envisioned for himself and the one he has actually had is Roy Williams.
