MPSSAA Student-Athlete Leadership Conference Workshop and Presenters
MPSSAA Student-Athlete Leadership Conference Workshop and Presenters Thurl Bailey Thurl Bailey understands what it means to be a champion. In the 1983 NCAA Basketball Tournament, Thurl and the rest of the North Carolina State Wolfpack team, accomplished the seemingly unthinkable. It is considered by many, one the greatest Cinderella stories in the history of sports. ESPN ranks it as "the most improbable title run ever with perhaps the biggest upset in tournament history." North Carolina State, coached by Jim Valvano, won the national title with a 54-52 victory in the final game over the University of Houston. The ending of the final is one of the most famous in college basketball history, with a dunk at the buzzer off an airball shot from 30 feet. The final dunk and coach Valvano’s running around the court in celebration immediately after the game have been staples of NCAA tournament coverage ever since. As a senior and co- captain of that championship team, Thurl went on to enjoy a 16 year professional basketball career, 12 of those in the N.B.A. with the Utah Jazz, and the Minnesota Timberwolves and 4 years in the Greek and Italian Leagues. Since retiring from Professional basketball in 2000, Thurl has been leading a busy life as an inspirational speaker and entertainer, a basketball analyst for Utah Jazz TV and the owner of two successful companies, Big T Bailey Productions: Producing uplifting music and programs for kids and adults and Elegant Apparel: A custom clothing line for business executives and professional athletes. When you meet Thurl Bailey you first notice the 7 foot athlete. -
