This is very cool. Since it's not Duke, it's up here in Our House...but it's a great sports story. Even it involves a heel and member of the pack.

WOW! That story gives me chills.

BTW, I was also at the Final Four in Seattle in 1989. I wonder why MJ and DT didn't ask me to pose with them in that picture, too. . . ;)

Some guys just don't have their priorities in order!

Interesting story. Does anyone remember the issue with DT and the sports coat that Duke apparently bought for him that landed them in a bit of hot water? My husband talks about it every so often. I usually gaze off into the middle distance and hum to myself.
I'm not a fan of MJ's, seeing as how I'm a Detroiter and a Dukie but it's nice that he is thinking beyond himself. I was mildly pulling for him when he stepped outside his comfort zone and gave baseball a shot.
And, of course, I'm SURE he's losing sleep over my opnion! :shock:

IIRC, a Duke booster gave/loaned DT a pair of slacks and/or a sport coat (for an interview?) and we got busted with our only probation in MBB history. The ncsu violations were apparently more egregious/flagrant, they got the same punishment as we did (~1 year) and they got a NCAA champeenship the following year. What did we get? Bucky Waters fired and a couple more losing records...

Is that what you remember DitBD? Ozzie?
