There was a surprise visitor on Tuesday when Carolina's basketball team made its annual holiday shopping trip for the needy: Quentin Thomas (Insert sound here: "Quuuuueeeeeee").
The former Tar Heel point guard stopped by the basketball office to visit with the coaching staff and, upon learning it was shopping day, decided to drop in on his former teammates. "I've missed being around these guys," Thomas said. "And the shopping always made me feel good, so I wanted to come by and try to help out and get that feeling again."
Thomas, who has a budding rap career, was as usual dressed impeccably. The Oakland native originally gained fame for wearing a vest with his picture airbrushed on the back to the 2005 national title celebration. For the shopping excursion, he was wearing a black Decepticons jacket. Nice choice, Q, but we all know you'd have to be an Autobot. "Hey," he said, pointing at the sartorially splendid Joe Holladay, "I'm just trying to keep up with this guy."
