Not quite right.
Antawn Jamison and Vince Carter were both top 5 picks in 1998 - 27 years ago.
Jamison made the All-Star team in 2008. He is their last All Star not Vince

Jamison left UNC 2 or 3 yrs before Vince.
Meme is correct.

And they were traded for each other on draft night.

It’s about to get ever worse with our General running the state.

As dismayed as I am about Carolina's struggles since Herb has been head coach, I don't give a shite what UNC players do in the NBA. They won 3 titles under Roy Williams and made 5 final fours winning 3 of them. so it hasn't been a rough 2 decades.

Agreed. And they did a great job of actually developing good college players who stayed 2-4 years under Roy. Not many one and dones compared to Duke and other big programs.

The meme says they haven't produced an NBA All-Star since Vince. I read that as no one drafted after Vince has been an NBA All-Star, not that he was the last Tar Heel to make an All-Star team. And since technically Vince was drafted after Jamison, Vince was 5th and Jamison was 4th; does that make it right

They have 3 national titles and ended Coach K's career in the Final Four within the last 20 years. I don't think UNC fans care that they haven't produced a bunch of top 5 draft picks in that time.
