The Greater North Carolina Pro-Am had a brief summer league run, but a massive impact on Triangle basketball

Erroll Reese and Webb Wellman highlight how the Greater North Carolina Pro-Am was about connections within the world of basketball

To channel the premise of ESPN's "30 For 30" documentaries, "what if we told you" some of the most anticipated matchups between North Carolina, NC State, and Duke players didn't happen during the ACC basketball season, but in the summer on NC Central's campus? That's exactly what happened at the height of the Greater North Carolina Pro-Am, a summer basketball league with a brief history itself. The Sports Shop's Erroll Reese and Hoop State's Webb Wellman joined 99.9FM The Fan's Joe Ovies discuss the origin of the NC Pro-Am and it's lasting impact on the North Carolina basketball scene.
