  • Roy Williams: OK, if I’m him, I’m pinching myself about ten times a day, every day. First off, he coached at Kansas for 15 years and led the Jayhawks to four Final Fours. If that wasn’t enough, then he landed the North Carolina coaching gig, reached two more Final Fours, and finally won that elusive NCAA championship.  But that wasn’t quite adequate, so last off season Tyler Hansbrough didn’t even declare for the NBA Draft and Ty Lawson, Danny Green, and Wayne Ellington all pulled their names out of the draft. Throw in a top five recruiting class and the Heels are the heavy favorites to cut the nets down this season.
  • Paul Pierce:  The Truth, off of last year’s NBA championship and with a little help from KG, Ray Allen, and company, demonstrated to the rest of the league what the fans in Boston have known for quite some time. Pierce is one of the best players in the world. Don’t believe that? Go ask Kobe Bryant.
  • Michael Phelps:  Eight events, eight Olympic gold medals. This is his world.  We’re just swimming in it.
