I hate Christian Laettner

[longislandcuse]

Sounds about right. He's essentially taking credit that he made Hill and Hurley better by being an a$$hole and bully.

K kinda validated that narrative though.

 

[longislandcuse]

He was great on the Duke/UNC HBO documentary

Ill have to check that out. Rosenberg is a funny dude.

What else is he going to say?

This 30 for 30 is making sad about college hoops. Laettner played in SO MANY big games. Today kids leave after 1 year maybe 2 years. This guy didn't just play in 4 Final Fours, but the Gtown Elite 8 game, UConn Elite 8 game, Michigan regular season game against the Fab 5.

Man I yearn for these days in college hoops again.

K went to four straight final fours?

I don't know who Brian Davis is/was but this guy is awesome.

He was Laettner's best friend at Duke. They were so close that some thought they were "lovers." (I am not making this up)

 

[longislandcuse]

What else is he going to say?

True.

I didn't know that he was a DJ until the other day - after watching that doc, I just thought that he was a random, salty, yet hilarious Terps fan.

SOoooooo ticked off I fell asleep before it popped on...

It is certainly a top 5 30 for 30. It will only be on 500 times over the next 45 days and 3 more times today. I think you'll be OK.

Laettner fueled thar fire by making some provocative and suggestive statements.

 

[samspann1]

Laettner walked after the catch on The Shot

Yeah - I thought it was REALLY well known that they were rumored to be gay/lovers or whatever.

Huh - guess not.

and then Dawkins. Who tried to throw both of them in jail for contempt because they wouldn't show their finances.

Judging by Davis' house (a player no one has ever heard of) - I'm guessing he hid his money well. And when you hide other peoples money... JOHNNY DAWKINS... you're a scumbag.

I hate Christian Laettner.

Davis was a starter on Duke's '92 team which was one of the better championship teams ever.

 

[OrangeDW]

K went to four straight final fours?

5, I believe. 1988-92.

Yeah, if I remember they were kind've trolling people and playing along.

 

[Ghost]

Yeah, if I remember they were kind've trolling people and playing along.

Sounds like their career as businessman as well.

 

[Jake]

We recruited laettner. I remember when he announced for Duke, I was pretty surprised because we were getting pretty much everyone we wanted in those days. I don't think we were seriously considered by him.

 

[samspann1]

I think that one of his statements at the time was something to the effect of "I have two loves in life: basketball and Brian Davis".

Ok, so I was off a bit.

 

[samspann1]

Brian Davis is clearly overcompensating.

It's ok, man - gay or straight, you're a scumbag.

 

[longislandcuse]

...and the director just summed it up perfectly.

 

[longislandcuse]

"No he's not OJ, he's not riding down the road in a Bronco with Brian Davis" LMAO...

 

[Alsacs]

My respect for Laettner really went up watching this 30 for 30. He is what college hoops is missing. Only JJ Redick has come close to filling Laettner's shoes. Redick never won a title either.

Devo could've been epically hated if we won anything of substance when he was here. Imagine him in a Championship Game...

I couldn't even imagine facing Duke every year with a Christian Laettner who's not going pro for ANOTHER 3 YEARS

He was a great college player, and I don't think that anyone can legitimately deny that.
