The 1982 North Carolina basketball team was recently voted by readers of ESPN.com as the best college basketball team of all time. The 2006-07 basketball season will mark the 25th anniversary of that great team, which was coached by Dean Smith and featured starters James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Matt Doherty, Jimmy Black and a freshman named Michael Jordan.

Jimmy Black and Scott Fowler have combined for a behind-the-scenes look at that team and the larger-than-life personalities that dominated it. This hardback book includes fresh interviews with all the key members of the team, as well as Black's personal recollections and wonderful photos.
