OT: I Hate Christian Laettner

Submitted by BursleyHall82 on

A trailer for ESPN's "I Hate Christian Laettner" 30-for-30 is out. The film premieres on March 15. Jimmy King and Jalen Rose are featured in the trailer, so it looks like there's going to be a lot of Fab Five in this thing:

I'm very much looking forward to seeing it, if only to remind myself of how much I hated him.

Duke. Was named to dream team-one of biggest outrages in sports history. Cheated his teammates/friends out of millions. A real dick.

Going to Duke's basketball camp as a Sophomore in high school and the first day I walked into Cameron a bunch of the players were scrimmaging.  Alaa Abdelnaby was just dominating Laettner and Laettner got so pissed off he took the ball and drop kicked it across the stadium, right as Coach K was walking out.  Krzyzewski gave him a Bobby Knight style reaming and I really never liked Laettner after that moment.

He's a guy you'd love to have on your team. Cold blooded killer.

Plus, I hate Kentucky, so I will never tire of his game winner and I love the hatred the idiot UK fans still harbor to this day.

multiply that by 1,000,000,000,000,000 ..... and we're approaching the level of hate UK fans have for Laettner.

 

A couple years ago, they had a Villians vs. ex-Cats exhibition game for charity at Rupp.  Laettner was the player-coach for the Villians.  He only took about 5 shots in the game, but he made sure EVERY one of them was a fall-away from the free-throw line.  He purposely got himself ejected late-in-the-game.  Laettner totally acted like a WWE character, but I thought it was cool he went to Lexington to do that for a charity.

During the Fab5 v Duke battle in A2 (where the Fab5 took Duke to 2 OTs), Webber and Laettner were locked in some intense shit talking.  Chris told Laettner that he was going to dunk on him 3 times.  He did it once, and told him 2 more were coming.  Then he did it again, and told him 1 more was coming.  Then he completed the trifecta.  It was a beautiful thing.

In Toronto our US channel feed is the Buffalo tv stations, so we get a lot of Bobby Hurley news since he's the head coach at UofB.   Every time I see his face I am reminded of those Dook teams in the early 90's and how much I disliked them.  

GO BLUE!
