Social media reactions to the best UNC basketball team debate
One of the biggest debates for UNC fans is whether the 2005 or 2009 National Championship men’s basketball team was better.
Well, Tar Heel Danny Green is weighing in on the debate, discussing the topic with Theo Pinson on the Run Your Race podcast by Tidal League. Both teams were loaded and dominated in their ways, but which was superior?
Green leaned more towards the 2009 team, which featured him, Ty Lawson, and was led by Tyler Hansbrough. The 2005 team, on the other hand, featured Rashad McCants, Raymond Felton, and Marvin Williams, to name a few.
Pinson took a snippet of the debate and pushed it on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, sending social media into a frenzy. The clip has now garnered more than 44k views as fans throw in their input on the debate.

Danny Green is being humble.. while that ‘05 team was one of my favorites without question, that ‘09 squad was a different monster. Total domination throughout the tourney https://t.co/cplGUmMqS7

i’m taking the 2009 team over almost any team ever. I watched evey game that year. Top to bottom domination in almost ever game all season and especially the tournament. I don’t think many college teams ever assembled could beat them but i’m a little biased i guess 🐏🐏🐏 https://t.co/6Q0cZTsfBl

It’s hard to choose between two things you love so much but with 09 it was complete domination. As I always say, most stress free natty ever.

09 and not really close. It would be close to Kansas in 08. https://t.co/YJHOeBkXqz
