    Shaq averaged more points and rebounds than Laettner with a better FG and eFG percentage. I know that Laettner's teams had more success than Shaq's, but when comparing individual players, I hate looking at team success. Laettner had a whole lot more talent around him than Shaq did.

    Shaq played with Chris Jackson, Stanley Roberts, and other NBA players - outside of Grant Hill, who else on Duke’s teams had NBA careers like those guys.

    Sub out Shaq for Laettner in that ‘92 game against Kentucky and Shaq goes 37/19 with 11 blocks and Duke loses in regulation…

    i’ve spent more time thinking about this than you can imagine. actually, you can probably imagine it lol. the all time starting five is hard enough, but i think that the all time 12 man roster might be even harder, at least for people to come to a consensus. after your top 7-8 guys, the rest of the team is all role players who get spot minutes, no matter how awesome they were at Texas. and, re: the starting five, you definitely can’t just name the five best players, you still need a balanced lineup that’s designed to win games. so off the top of my head i’d go:

    G- TJ Ford

    G- Avery Bradley

    G/F- PJ Tucker

    F- KD

    C- Lasalle Thompson

     

    thats a really, really good defensive team, with an NPOY PG and an NPOY shooter who’s also 6’11”. that lineup won’t measure up to the likes of ucla or kentucky, but it’s a pretty got damn well rounded starting five for college ball. 

     

    I’ll swap out Bradley for Travis Mays and take the over on offense/defense tradeoff, but a solid lineup for sure…

    Maravich
    Magic
    Zion
    Shaq
    Curry/DWade/any other guard I am too tired to think of

    Every list must start with Maravich; all-time leading scorer even without a three-point line and playing JV his freshman year
    No Laettnar, because fuck him; Shaq should have been on the Dream Team

     

    Christian Laettner was a better college player than Shaq…

  4. I’ll limit mine to only players I actually saw play as a ‘fan’ vs a little kid, which I’m arbitrarily picking as age 13 so 1979 for me. I’m also only picking people who played at least 3 years of actual college basketball, which obviously eliminates most of the great players of the last 20 years. Trying to make this a more or less 5 position lineup aka not 5 big men. No particular order:

    Christian Laettner

    Patrick Ewing

    Chris Mullen

    Kemba Walker (came real close to JJ Redick here but fuck JJ Redick on general Duke principle; I already have Christian fucking Laettner)

    Danny Manning (I’m making him a 3 here which he didn’t play at the time but he would have killed as a 3 and D guy in todays game)

  5. So net/net, turning worthless sack of aggy shit who might not have made the roster into a fairly significant upgrade at SS costs us an extra $800K on the cap and a late-round downgrade in next year’s draft? Great move…

    Let me know when you hit up one of these tailgates.  I’ll come whip your ass.  Maybe add a little BO&W too.

    You sound like a total badass; post some pics of your guns brah

    The ultimate aggy. Claims to care about winning, and then gets a big check to shut up. I’m fairly confident he’s on the Mike Trout career path.

    Heretic was a good watch. As you said, it has the horror vibe without the gore. Hugh Grant was great and I also thought Chloe East did well too.

    I didn't recognize Topher Grace until the credits rolled. It's been awhile since I have seen him in anything.

    I didn’t realize that was him until this post lol…saw that in the theater for matinee price - it was entertaining…

    100% true.  and the year before if butterfingers mcgillicuddy doesn't drop that pick.  and in 2001 if major is starting.  mack brown basically won four national titles in 10 years.  saban-esque.

    Was that expected? A salary issue?

    He lacks the most important ability you need out of a highly-paid player…
