Former NBA Player and ACC Basketball Legend, Burleson Wins Big Pot With Set

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

Former NBA basketball player and member of the 1974 NC State national championship team Tommy Burleson was seen collecting a decent size pot when his pocket jacks hit a set with a jack on the river to begin a nice chip up.

Burleson's cuts an imposing figure in the poker room as his large frame of 7'2" stands out while repping the NC State Wolfpack with his shirt.

His basketball career including an Olympic silver medal, an NBA all-rookie team selection, and the NCAA team title in which he squared off in the paint against NBA and UCLA legend Bill Walton.
