Ford has to be on the All Time ACC First team. He was that good. He invented "Stop and Pop". The guy would dribble the length of the floor at Mach 1, stop on a dime and drain a mid-range jumper, time and time again. Dribbling was like a yo-yo on a string. Hurley was awesome, and deserves to be in the conversation, but Ford gets the nod.

Despite the many great players in recent years, the starting backcourt for the All-Time ACC team would still be Phil Ford and David Thompson. Ralph Sampson would be the starting Center. From there it gets complicated.
