BREAKING: James Worthy Crowned G.O.A.T. Small Forward by NCAA and All-ACC In a historic announcement that has sent waves through college basketball, the NCAA and the All-ACC have officially crowned James Worthy as the greatest small forward of all time in collegiate basketball history. This honor cements Worthy’s enduring legacy as a true icon of the game and a benchmark of excellence for generations of players. James Worthy’s college career at the University of North Carolina (UNC) remains one of the most storied in NCAA history. Known for his electrifying athleticism, graceful play, and clutch performances, Worthy left an indelible mark on the Tar Heels program. His defining moment came in the 1982 NCAA Championship game, where he scored an unforgettable 28 points against Georgetown, leading UNC to a national title. That same year, he was awarded the National Player of the Year, further highlighting his dominance on the court. Worthy was not only a scorer but a complete player—his defensive prowess, rebounding, and leadership set him apart. He was a two-time First-Team All-American (1981 and 1982), showcasing his consistent excellence and ability to perform at the highest level across multiple seasons. Playing under legendary coach Dean Smith, Worthy became a cornerstone of UNC’s basketball heritage, helping to elevate the program to national prominence. What makes Worthy’s recognition even more special is the context of the era in which he played. The early 1980s were a golden age of college basketball, filled with future NBA legends and fierce competition. To emerge as the most outstanding small forward among such talent speaks volumes about Worthy’s skill, work ethic, and basketball IQ. Following his collegiate success, Worthy was selected No. 1 overall in the 1982 NBA Draft and went on to have a Hall of Fame career with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, it is his time at Chapel Hill that laid the foundation for his greatness—a period marked by excellence, humility, and unforgettable moments. Today’s recognition is more than an individual accolade; it is a celebration of what James Worthy represents—a legacy of excellence, leadership, and inspiration. As UNC continues to shape future stars, Worthy remains the gold standard, the G.O.A.T. small forward who set the bar for greatness…
