I used to, very much. Not anymore though. He was pretty much a badass and would love a player just like him on every Cats team ever.
Very excited for tomorrow's show!
-
isn't this like a double negative?
also i will probably watch this thing too
-
I wasn't alive when he played basketball so I don't hate him either
-
Already set the DVR!
-
Larry Bird plus anger. Would take.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
I did hate him and still do hate him. I was the biggest Fab 5 guy this side of Oak Park Mall.
-
his eyes were dreamy

Which side? Cuz if west then prob not. You prob didn't wear No. 5 on your ymca bball team and steal your dad's black dress socks to wear for bball games like someone I know.
-
As a UK fan, I'll always hate him.
-
Being really good at something while being really good looking makes people mad.

everybody who was anybody hated laettner and duke and hurley. i can't even fathom someone outside of a duke grad liking them back when they played. today, i can admit they were total studs etc. but back then? man.

Yes. Exactly. zacker and I made similar posts a couple of years ago.
Hate white players for the most part. And I especially hate the Jarrod Haase/Tyrel Reed/Aaron Scwafdanadruger/Steve Henson type players. Give me a team full of jeff Boschee's and jason williams' and bill lambert's and jason sutherland's...complete and total f'ing dicks. if you're going to be white, you should be a cocky and dirty f*ck, not some try hard white guy. it's entirely more pleasing to watch that way.
Exactly. I didn't like him when I was a kid but Laettner was of this mold as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AwYVTB2rZw
Well, 'zacker made a very good post that I agreed with.

Also, what on earth is Brian Davis wearing in this video?

But imagine if he played for the Cats. Like if he played for the JYCs. He'd be a ferocious doberman.

he is like an upper class, smarmy version of Lambeer.

He is ugly and sucks

They made ten year old me fall in love with Duke.
I wanted to be Bobby Hurley.

Couldn't hold a JYC jock.

Being really good at something while being really good looking makes people mad.
This pretty much sums it up right here. Laettner was basically a male model who also happened to be really rough ridin' good at playing basketball. I hate Duke but sort of liked Laettner just because of how good he was.
Now Bobby Hurley on the other hand....that guy had a stupid, punchable looking face which is kinda weird since I'm a nice non-violent guy. But don't get me started on wanting to punch his face!
-

What's not to love about a guy like that on your fave team?

here's the deal with laettner and his duke teams. you only liked them if you were racist, a duke grad or a ten year old. anyone that was 17 or 24 or 36 years old and liked them was either racist or a duke grad. one or the other.

You're either dumb or didn't watch one or both of them play. Or you're not dumb, but still :Take the Bait: me. I don't think your dumb, so you have to be trolling.
Grats on premium troll.

I'd like to re-watch the second final between Duke and Vegas. I don't remember the actual game enough. Want to see who I think was better. Who would win a 7-game series. Btw, I finally watched the HBO UNLV movie. Don't remember if it was you who tipped me off on it.
Not as edgy and cool as the ESPN ones, but interesting and entertaining enough.

Duke beat UNLV in the semi final, not the final. That UNLV team was one of the best teams ever, it would be great to see them against this Kentucky team because this UK team is much bigger than UNLV but the Rebels were much more skilled.

Yes, yes. That was a goof. Also a good comparo, because neither had been tested too many times in season. Arkansas was a great win for UNLV, but not a dominant one. I was a big Arkansas fan at the time. Loved Todd Day and Lee Mayberry. I think they beat like two other decent teams pretty bad, but nobody else was worth a crap. Kentucky would prob look stronger at this point in the season. Like get the higher 1-seed. Seem more dominant.
Obv. can't remember Vegas super good. Watched some youtube a couple weeks ago. It would be something else.

Guys, what a great 30 for 30.

He seems like he totally has his crap together and always has. It's not just that he didn't care if people thought he was a dick. It's that he didn't care because he knew he was a badass.
-
I didn't realize Peter Rosenberg had such a strong position on Duke, and I either never knew or forgot about Laettner and Brian Davis.

2 things:
1) LOL failed to repay to former Duke captain Johnny Dawkins.
2) Jay Bilas comes off hilariously in the doc. As though his entire trolling personae is him imitating Laettner.

I was talking with regard to basketball, though I'm not sure not paying someone back means you don't have your crap together.

Hated lattener loved the runnin Rebs and fab 5 but man has college basketball regressed so much since then, lot of great memories in this 30/30

86-93 was the golden era. There is no doubt.

I don't know. I'm not following your comment. And I couldn't tell you one thing he said. Apparently, I automatically tune him out these days.

that arkansas team came to mhk to play our ksu cats; i think it was mayberry that went up for a thunderous jam shot and was rejected by the rim. it was very funny.

It was a fun show.
That UNLV team was really fun.
-
Great show. I really miss that era of college hoops.

I was too young. Jason Williams was my idol Duke player.

Catzacker brought up a great point on another thread, and that is that we ought not forget to hate Bobby Hurley too.

that whole team was hated. every one of them, danny ferry(sp?) was christian before christian he just wasnt as good
-
Those Laettner/Hurley teams don't get enough credit for the talent they had. Ferry spent a good while in the NBA and Hurley seemed like a pretty promising NBA player before his car accident. Grant Hill wasn't even a standout superstar on that team. He younger than the others, but he was still Grant freaking Hill.

I sent KK a Grant Hill Pistons jersey a month or so ago.

Danny Ferry was Naismith player of the year, 2 time all american and #2 overall pick in the draft.

and in college lattener was better than him, what is your point here?
-
I read it as "not good" instead of "not as good." Stats look even, awards were even, Laettner has the highlights. I'll leave it to the geezers who saw them play to pick who was better.

he holds like every major record in the tourn-a-ment, thats hard to argue against and he played better than anyone on the biggest stage

crazy talk.
grant's freshman numbers > hurley's soph
there was no year that hurley had better stats than grant hill.
grant averaged 1 ppg less than laettner did over his career at duke.

Maybe I should have said stand alone? I just meant that he wasn't heads and tails above everyone else.

I recorded this show and watched some parts I missed. Another striking thing to me was how K handled Laettner. I know it's a little over the top with Coach K (kind of like it is with Snyder), but it was interesting to me how K let Laettner be Laettner for the most part. I got a laugh when Self Important Jay Bilas (SIJB) said he saw things at practice when he was an assistant that he'd never seen at a basketball practice before.
K just seems to know how to handle guys for the most part, it's fascinating to me.

Laettner seemed kind of MJ or Kobeish with regard to will to win, and teammates not liking them. Prob not the worst prob to have.

just in a general sort of way. super cocky it seems. i loved the 30 for 30 though and can appreciate how good a college player he was.
-
He really was kinda douchey
I agree, but I think part of that was fueled by the fact that so many people assumed so many things and so they threw a lot of vitriol his way.
If thousands were throwing homophobic slurs at your while you drained 3's and clown suited Shaq, you'd be a little douchey as well.
-
Agreed. I wasn't a college hoops fan in the early 90s so I didn't know much about him. That era really was great tho with UNLV, Fab Five, Duke, etc. etc.
