Through the powers of Facebook I learned about the ACC Barnstorming tour. They take all the senior ACC basketball players from UNC, NC State, Dook, and Wake Forest and bring them around to different counties to play high school all-stars.
Given the fact that we are huge UNC fans and that two of our favorite players were seniors this year, Theo Pinson and Joel Berry II, we decided it was worth staying up late for on a school night!
There were two other UNC seniors as well who also played. Yes Grayson Allen was also there (from puke) but it was still a lot of fun.
In addition to a "dance off" won by Theo, they also had a 3 pt shooting contest and a dunk contest.
The game was mostly flashy moves and showing off and not a lot of defense (kind of like the NBA), but it was still super fun to see some of our favorite players up close and in person! Apparently they have been doing this for 38 years now! I wish we would have known about this sooner! We will have to remember this tradition for the future!
