Former Tar Heel Joel Berry Interview on 'The Player and The Fan'

Joel Berry II opens up about his time at Carolina in which he expands on being and extension of Roy Williams, Theo Pinson being tough to guard and a tough 2019-2020 season.

Welcome to season 2:episode 5 of 'The Player And The Fan' featuring David Noel III and Quierra Luck. We are excited to bring you an official podcast that highlights both elements of sports, the player and the fan. We will be bringing you our viewpoints weekly, featuring various sporting topics and games around the ACC. 

On this week's episode, we have one of the most favored Tar Heels as a guest, Joel Berry II. This interview will not disappoint you; it will go down as one of our best yet! 

During this interview, you will see a side of Joel that even surprised Noel. The former Heel was candid, transparent, and comical as he discussed his time at UNC and his future endeavors. 

Berry led North Carolina to its sixth NCAA championship and Williams’ third - a championship he feels was one of the best in Carolina basketball history. During the 2017 Final Four, Berry was named Most Outstanding Player and was honored with his jersey in the Smith Center rafters.

His senior year, Berry averaged 17.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and led the team in three-pointers with 93, the fourth most in UNC history. The Florida native was First-team All-ACC and is considered one of the most decorated players in Carolina Basketball history.

This episode will be sure to make you laugh, reminisce, and it wouldn't be a Carolina episode if you didn't hold a conversation on which championship team is the best.
