This limited edition lithograph was created for Tarheel Moments after North Carolina won the NCAA National Championship in 2005. Tarheel Moments is a company created by a fraternity brother of mine, Mike McCracken. Mike and I promised each other in college we would get back together later in life to create basketball prints for the University of North Carolina. Our goal is to create lasting memories for great moments in North Carolina basketball history.
"To see Jackie, Jawad, and Melvin...they
were hugging and saying a prayer...and they allowed me to join them - that
was the greatest moment you can possibly have." Roy Williams
- April 5, 2005
In the tradition of "Victory on Senior Day" and "Eight Points,
Seventeen Seconds" Tar Heel Moments proudly presents "Championship
Prayer," featuring Jawad Williams, Jackie Manuel, Melvin Scott and
Roy Williams.
In the celebration following Carolina's 75-70 victory over Illinois for
the National Championship, Seniors Jawad Williams, Jackie Manuel and Melvin
Scott shared a final on-court huddle for a prayer. A moment later, Coach
Roy Williams made his way over to them, and they welcomed him to their
embrace. It was a moment of triumph - not only for the game and championship
just won, but for three young men who weathered an 8-20 season as freshmen
and ended up on top as seniors.
It was most definitely a Tar Heel Moment.
In honor of these three young men who exemplified the Carolina Way in so many
ways and the Coach who helped them reach the pinnacle of success, Stephen F.
Hanson has commemorated this great moment in Carolina Basketball.
"Tar Heel Moments was founded in 2003 by Mike McCracken.
Working with award winning illustrator Stephen F. Hanson, Tar Heel
Moments strives to commemorate the greatest players and most memorable
events in Carolina Basketball through stunningly crafted fine art lithographs.
