Without a doubt, Tar Heel fans are going to remember all of the highlights Caleb Wilson provided during his lone season with the UNC basketball.

While the impressive slam dunks and clutch moments will be talked about for years to come, it's the moments Wilson has created for his fellow classmates that mean that much more.

Wilson is set to depart Chapel Hill in the near future to prepare for the NBA Draft, but before he leaves town, he's making the absolute most of each and every moment he has left of his freshman year of college.

Caleb Wilson provides UNC students with a memory of a lifetime

On social media, Wilson was encouraging students to stop by the Rams Head Recreation Center for what turned out to be some epic pickup basketball.

It became such a big event, even the top-tier media made the trip to witness it!

As he did many times in actual games this season, Wilson had to impress the crowd! The phoenom freshman showcased a variety of moves, including this absolutely insane crossover on a member of the UNC baseball team.

Wilson had a ton of fun showcasing some moves, as his thumb looks to be fully healed following his season-ending injury. Of course, he's not timid to continue dunking the basketball, as he threw down a few impressive slams that definitely had the crowd pumped.

What makes this moment even cooler is the fact that Wilson wasn't the only basketball player from last year's squad to attend the event. The photo below captures some of those Tar Heels, including a few guys who have transferred elsewhere this offseason.

Caleb Wilson is simply a man of the people, and we can't say it enough about how he has truly embraced being a Tar Heel. Not even five-star "one-and-done" caliber talents are like him; he's simply one of a kind.
