Puff Johnson will be Gilbert Hillcrest Prep's only alumnus to ever play in the Final Four when UNC faces Duke in New Orleans on Saturday.

Cameron is one of the NBA's defending Western Conference champion's top shooters who completed his Master's degree at North Carolina, after he was drafted by the Suns 11th overall in 2019.

Cameron played his final two college years at North Carolina as a transfer after three years at hometown school Pittsburgh. "Well, he is in the NBA, so he has ultimate bragging rights," Puff said in a text message."But being in the Final Four and potentially winning a national championship gives me good leverage in our college basketball accomplishment bragging rights."The Johnsons are among countless storylines entering the game between the West Region champion Blue Devils and East Region winner Tar Heels .

"Really makes you appreciate this game and just having those types of experiences to play in those types of environments, the Finals and the Duke-Carolina game, those are experiences that will live with me for the rest of my life and it will be cool to share with my kids one day.” "To see him in this position at his alma mater in the Final Four, it’s really cool. I’ve watched them a few times and they had some struggles early on and his ability to keep the group together through the adversity," Williams said.

The Carolina Way is a simplistic philosophy devised by its longtime coach and late Hall of Famer Dean Smith: playing hard, selfless ; winning in the classroom and not just on the court; not focusing on wins or losses but playing fundamentally sound at all costs.
