My Take
Hubert Davis moves me because his story is a homecoming. The 196 cm guard from Winston-Salem played at North Carolina, bounced through the NBA with the Knicks, Mavericks and others, then returned to Chapel Hill to coach the very program that shaped him. There's real poetry in taking everything you learned on the floor and handing it straight to the next generation.
