Tyler Hansbrough can add repeat first-team AP All-America to his list of accomplishments. The North Carolina senior forward was named to the AP's All-America team on Monday, making him the third first-team repeat selection in UNC history, joining Phil Ford and Michael Jordan.
Hansbrough was joined on the first team by Davidson guard Stephen Curry, Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin, Pitt forward DaJuan Blair and Arizona State guard James Harden.
UNC guard Ty Lawson was on the second team with Duke's Gerald Henderson and Florida State's Toney Douglas on the third team.
The AP has honored Hanbrough four times — the only player in ACC history with that distinction. He was a third-team selection as a freshman, a second-team choice as a sophomore and first-team as both a junior and senior.

I was surpised Ty didnt make it along with Hansbrough. The kid from ASU doesn't belong on this list no matter what kind of pro he will make. he didnt do anything earth shattering in college imo.
Lawson > Curry > Hansbrough
