"IT IS a rite of passage with NBA teams. The veterans always have something for the rookies to do. Bring the coffee. Buy the doughnuts. Deliver the newspapers. Or, in the case of Charlotte Bobcats rookies Gerald Henderson and Derrick Brown, wear various colorful, sometimes sparkly, backpacks. "The sillier the better," Bobcats coach Larry Brown was saying before last night's game against the 76ers. "They got Gerald a North Carolina one." They even got Bobcats guard Ray Felton, a former Tar Heel, to sign it. That would be Gerald Henderson, of Duke. "He told me he burned it," Brown said, laughing. "That's what I told him," said Henderson, the onetime Episcopal Academy star. "That's what I ..."

"Was the world turning off its axis around 9:15 Thursday night? University of North Carolina basketball icons Michael Jordan and Larry Brown agreed to choose, ahem, a Dukie with their 2009 NBA Draft lottery pick. Gerald Henderson come on down! "We're real happy with the pick - even thought Michael and I had a hard time picking a Dukie," Brown said afterward, drawing laughter at their post-pick news conference. Henderson will become the soon-to-be six-year-old franchise's first Duke alumnus when he suits up for the Bobcats in the fall. And Jordan and Brown had the choice of three eventual first-round Tar Heels before choosing Henderson with the 12th overall selection. Tyler Hansbrough, the ..."
