[@JoshuaFrick3]

There's a lot of truth to this. I was a young teenager at the time absolutely IN LOVE WITH HOOPS. That UNLV team got a lot of coverage during their undefeated season, but when they lost their first game of the season to that Duke squad in the Final 4, it's like the focus shifted to Duke (who took the ball & ran with it... a lot because they had the main ingredient you need to have if you want people to keep talking about you... a lot of people hated those Blue Devils)... people simply stopped talking about that UNLV team. I don't think it helped matters that Larry Johnson didn't live up to the expectations folks had for him coming out of college. Whereas Chris Webber, Juwan Howard & Jalen Rose's stars shined brighter in the NBA.

[@wjellis504]

Not in today's NBA but back when they played they absolutely could. It's like people saying Jordan couldn't guard LeBron pssshh back then Jordan would have raped LeBron. He couldn't handle the D back then when you could hand check and face guard and stand in the Lane. Now you can't blow on someone and get called for a foul. But you're right the comparison isn't good bc the game has changed so much..

This was a great video... brought back memories of my time as a student at Michigan, watching the Fab Five earn that legacy. Sad that we couldn't bring home the final trophy, and even sadder that, well, that would have been vacated by now anyways. Props to Mike K and the Dukies, they are perennial favorites no matter what the era. They finished off Coach Jerry Tarkanian (The Shark)'s UNLV squad that, once upon a time, the Fab Five themselves were compared to.

[@jaradwinklepleck1769]

The thing about this duke team is that they was so hyped before they even played one game. Everyone expects them to win it all and it was a shocker that they even lost one game (no shocker to me). But the fab 5 had to prove themselves and and actually be dominate to get the hype train going. Honestly I believe these duke freshman are more talented top to bottom but the FAB 5 had the distinct advantage down low with C Web and Howard. It would be dope if they were able to play not just one game against each other but more of a series. Like a 3-5 game series. And I'm a Michigan guy but I don't really think even C Web could stop Zion from doing pretty much whatever he damn well chose to do on that court.

sagi alex the top 3 picks of this years draft will be so heavily valued that it will be almost impossible to get both

[@JoshuaFrick3]

Outside of doing something stupid, like if PHX trades Devin Booker for the #1 pick, teams simply don't have the assets to acquire two top 2 picks. I mean, if you're one of the teams whose is bad enough to finish in the lottery with a chance to win a top 2 pick, then you're not very good. I guess maybe the Knicks could do it, but then you're talking trade Porzingis for the other top 2 pick... Why do that? Anything short of a major young star like Booker or Porzingis, no other team sitting with a top 2 pick is going to deal it away when Zion & RJ are sitting right there. No amount of future draft picks will do it because those future draft picks are not guaranteed top 2 picks and the talent in future drafts won't be as proven as Zion & RJ already are... it's not a 2k move. It's impossible unless you want to trade a proven NBA young superstar for a college freshman.

I used to love college basketball loved it! Then one year maybe 2 and gone I totally understand going to the NBA but could you imagine what teams we would be talking about. I understand this is freshman teams. Will we ever discuss UNLV or that Duke team? I hope so

[@l-series299]

*I hope Zion goes to ATL & gets matched up with Trae & whoever the Hawks take with DAL & OKC’s pick🔥*

[@mike2687]

that would probably be a good fit style wise and, as a humble kid, Zion would probably do well being fairly close to home--from South Carolina I think.

[@pjmcray101]

@@mike2687 Yeah he's from South Carolina

[@danakaleb4882]

mike collins Zion humble? Seriously?

[@mike2687]

​@@danakaleb4882 - seriously... He's a beast on the court but he carries himself well in every interview I've seen thus far--mature, grateful, happy and humble--haven't heard anything yet that that would make me think otherwise, seriously.

[@Leufane]

Barret or Zion in Atl would be the shyt. I want Barret and Daniel Gafford the Marcus Camby clone. Hawks Coming.

[@estylesMusic2024]

They was some bad boys.. but they ain’t beating this new Duke Fab 5.. these boys jumping out the gym.. 💯

[@Lplokote]

Fab 5 would get demolished by the Blue Devils!!!

[@thesexxiestofbp]

Nope can't even get to the championship game in this watered down CBB

[@bobbyporter7748]

Look....I'm a HUGE Duke Fan and have been since the 91-92 Season.Ever since "The Shot" by Christian Laettner in the Regional Semifinals against Kentucky I've been a Diehard Duke Fan.This is not even a discussion though.The Fab 5 are by far and away the better team and had the bigger cultural impact on College Basketball.The only thing fantastic about this Duke Team is Zion Williamson.One man cannot carry an entire team.Michigan was loaded and had 3 players who carried that team in Chris Webber,Jalen Rose and Juwan Howard.ESPN has bumped their head on this one.This shouldn't even be a serious question 😂

[@hufzzz_]

Anyone after the MSU loss LOL

[@313jb8]

1:54....my man was like " oh snap , ok I see ya , I do not want to be on a poster as a high schooler"... LMAO

[@Kobegoat77]

Fab 5 would rek duke because fab 5 played in a time were there waz defense

[@bougiefly7086]

Fab 5 was so hard they will never be duplicated i use to look at Iverson at Georgetown and u could see their influence

[@kamalimal3627]

But can you beat Carolina, CAN YOU BEAT CAROLINA. #TAR HEELS. yes I'm yelling. Go HEELS

[@jojonsmith1753]

Lmfaoooooooooooo

[@nathanielthomas2502]

35 years old. growing up in metro Detroit the Fab is the reason i am a Michigan fan over Michigan State

[@jkpwd]

Duke is good but not better than the Fab Five 💪

[@kevinwilliams2156]

Bullshit, Duke is 10x's better

[@jamescorley4474]

I agree with Jalen when he said could this team beat the 91-92 Duke team that beat them. Now we can talk. Couldn't stand the Fab 5, but they were fun to watch. LETS GO DEVILS!

[@kobethagoatbryant2276]

Pause @8:01 HOOOOWWWW!!! He is 275lbs

[@Geeandrezzi]

KobethaGOAT Bryant exactly lol....what player on the fab 5 is guarding that guy 1-on-1 or in the open court? Duke would destroy them

[@patricksnavely7506]

Duke's Fab 5 knows how many time outs are left!!! Right Chris Webber??? The Fab Five didn't just have a Duke problem, they had a UNC Tarheel problem too... 92 champions Duke. 93 champs UNC...

[@gezza7718]

The Fab Five made a university basketball team an International icon before the Internet was commercially viable. As an Aussie, I heard about the Michigan Wolverines before I knew all of teams playing in the NBA.

[@ej1829]

Peyton list 😂😂😂😂 OK😂😂😂😂😂😂 bruh

[@coolio5357]

this a great video

[@XPXhumble]

Who the hell is joey baker

[@MrMmitch32]

Celo Bernard - Duke freshmen that reclassified to be on this years team. He hasn’t played any minutes yet so more than likely he will be redshirting this season. Don’t sleep on Joey tho.... he is skilled and his time will come.

[@jodandake]

0:43 that stare though

[@silas6631]

Fab 5 will smoke them boy's all game they don't want that smoke period

[@Withxr]

Lmao 4 of the Duke players will get drafted in the first round as freshmen. 3 in the top 5. Webber and Jawun only ones drafted top 5 not as freshmen. Jalen wasn't good in the NBA. Jimmy went second round. Ray didn't even get drafted. At the end of the day the Duke players will have better careers, I'll take Duke's 5 over Fab 5 any day.

[@realballer3824]

+Wither so you going to compare how good a player is by were they get drafted 😂😂😂 these are 2 different eras of basketball and let's be real if duke lost to gonzaga what makes you think there going to be the fab 5 😂😂😂

[@Withxr]

@@realballer3824 You acting like the Fab 5 was undefeated lmao. Gonzaga is a good team that was full of upperclassmen and they lost by 1 point. They ain't going to lose again. I'm comparing how good a player is by draft because it shows if NBA teams actually want the player and if they can contribute in the bigger leagues. The whole point of college ball at an elite level is to prepare for the draft. I guarantee you more Duke players will have better careers than the fab 5 and if they win the national chip they are definitely better than the Fab 5 lmao. Fab 5 played in a shit era where players weren't as good so they had to stay 4 years and they still couldn't win lmao even after staying multiple years.

[@realballer3824]

+Wither key word if lol just like when you said duke is not losing again in your opinion 😂😂😂

[@realballer3824]

+Wither and you said I guarantee you there going to have better careers you know how many people said that same statement and there favorite player was just a role player or even in the nba you league 😂😂😂

[@curiouslymavismade]

Moral of the story: Fab Five would slaughter Zion's five.

[@louiseingold5304]

the fab five still didn't do anything except affect culture

[@commandershepard1838]

You’re right, wins are all that matter in life. Spoken like a true 21st century sports fan
