The return of college basketball means the return of the defending college basketball champions, The North Carolina Tarheels. So we here at BoomRoastedSports decided to dedicate everyone's favorite weekly(when possible) feature to one of the all-time great Tarheels.
.
The Rik Smits clone you see before you is none other than former UNC center Serge Zwikker. Most people will best remember Zwikker from his two-year run as starter with the Tarheels, as he replaced the great Rasheed Wallace(who departed for the '95 NBA Draft) as Dean Smith's starting center. In 1997, Zwikker was drafted with the first pick of the 2nd round by the Houston Rockets.....16 picks ahead of another Milk Carton award winner: God Shammgod.
.
While in Houston, Zwikker played all of zero minutes. That's right. Zero. As in none. In fact, despite actually being drafted by an NBA team, Zwikker never even sniffed the NBA hardwood in a regular season game. That's right. Not one NBA second. Rapper Master P logged more time on an NBA court than Zwikker did and all P ever did was Make 'Em Say Uhhhhhhhh!!!
.
So let's give it up for Tyler Hansbrough's role model, the next Keith Van Horn.....Serge Zwikker!!!
