CL had averages close his contemporaries like Detlef schremp, Horace grant, Sean Elliot, Vin Baker, each occasional all-stars with 14 ppg/6 rpg careers.

Christian Laettner is a legend. What he did for us Duke fans is unforgettable. I had the privilege of watching him play at Duke as my family had season tickets to Duke basketball for decades. I saw him in a Japanese steakhouse back in Durham, NC one time, once he had gotten drafted and was at the time playing for the Atlanta Hawks. I was 9, asked him for his autograph, he didn't mind me interupting his date and gladly gave me an autograph and told me "Keep eating your Wheeties kid." Class act guy.

There's lots of comments from people on how they disliked/hated him, I'm not a Duke fan, but I always liked his attitude towards his opponents and the game. Once he crossed over the lines of the court, if you weren't on Duke's team, you were the enemy, and he would do whatever it took, to take you outta' the game mentally, if you allowed it, and to win the game. I always liked/respected that about Christian Laettner. By the way, he's a great interview as well, as I've always enjoyed hearing his different views on whatever the subject may be, a very articulate, intelligent man...

His numbers and team success and Coach K knew it. No other college player at that moment in time deserved it more.

@@fenderrlee I never dunked on anyone (save for on low rims), but I'm 6'1 and COULD dunk on regulation off of one OR two feet. Not much of a feat today, but in 1985 there weren't a lot of 6'1 dunkers.

i think stating I wasn't humble with the remarks I used was a slip for someone you don't know.. i am 6 2 and 55.. when i was 20 i dunked on a guy who refused to shake my hand after their team beat us.. i jumped two feet from below the free throw line and put a knee in his chest and Tom Chambered his ass... humility has its place but when you live above the rim for 25 years like I did... whatever.. i was 40 when i dunked on the last guy and he was about 6 7... I was 54 last year and have a video of a good tomahawk dunk ...it is all about the dunk ...dont forget that...love u brother@@uncletony6210

For some reason Christian Laettner sounds like the late comedian Mitch Hedberg when we he talks 😭

Christian Laettner is one of the best players in NCAA history. *This guy for me is the best Blue Devil in Duke's history.*
