Who was the post player Duke had in 1992? We played them in the Final Four and he called Oliver Miller, Fat Albert.

That was actually when my Duke hate started.

The guy had a last name I couldn't even pronounce...

Did they mention that he flipped LSU fans off before the game? Because he did. It was all rather strange how crazy agitated the student section was by tipoff. Totally over the top. Dwayne Schintzius of UF was treated worse.

So they were going to put a college player on that team period. Would Shaq have been any better than Laetner?

Thought it was great.

The doc goes out of the way to say homophobic speech isn't as taboo as it is today so I don't think LSU looks too bad.

Regardless, I was at those chants.

Why the frick was LSU doing the FSU tomahawk?

Is anyone surprised that Arkansas fans are in this thread talking about Arkansas when the documentary had absolutely NOTHING to do with them?

Pathetic, really.

But, I guess that when your golden age in sports consists of 3-4 years over 20 years ago in basketball and a season back in the mid 60s in football, you grab hold of whatever you can.

Christian Laettner was definitely a polarizing figure to say the least. Good player though.

The names of the guys on the team were all really easy to pronounce. Hill, Lang, Ast, Meek, Parks. Doesn't really sound like any of them, either. Are you sure it wasn't Laettner himself?

The only other guy who could it possibly be is Alaa Abdelnaby, but he had graduated by 1990.

I remember Lang was playing with Grant Hill in 94 when we played you guys for the Natty.

That's it. It was in 1990 when we played in the Final Four.

They want so bad to be included by everyone but can't grasp the reality that they are a distant after thought for the actual basketball schools of the world.

Makes sense, that's why they showed a clip of us on this show then, huh? Also, go find some Duke fans so they can come discuss.

Michael Jordan's hate for Isiah Thomas was the reason the whole College player gimmick evolved. Not fair to any college player.

Thomas on that team would have been the perfect roster....but I hated him more than Laettner.

Have family in Durham so I grew up a huge Duke fan ... Attended Duke basketball camp as a kid, worshipped Grant Hill, the whole 9 yards... I remember being called a homo and a racist as a kid just for being a Laettner fan... I thought the show was really well done.
