Duke part 3

yo chris carrawell,

i'd agree, i've never liked tom izzo (although if i go to MSU, i would love to work for him...haha). i've begun to like michigan state over the past few years, because their star players have been white guys. and now that i might go there, i like them more.

i would completely disagree with shane (and agree with you). he might be the first star player since battier who makes it blatantly obvious that he cares and that he seems to be more concerned with the team than himself. i would definitely say that many of the other guys who cared as much, suck and thus don't play much, so we don't see it (i.e. david mcclure-who has been on a steady downhill since arriving at duke). but i'd argue that there are a few others who have cared (JJ reddick comes to mind). He might not have played a team game, but shit, if you could hit every shot AND help your team win, why not. At least he cared enough to stay for 4 years (unlike our good friends Josh McRoberts and Shavlik Randolph...who are utter retards), which says something in today's basketball culture. My other thought was Chris Duhon. Again, could have left early, but stayed. Maybe they don't wear their heart on their sleeves like singler or battier, but i have to think they cared...a lot. (wow...that was a bit of a tangent)

love,
nick horvath

p.s. i just spent roughly 15 minutes typing this email instead of working on the 15 page paper that i have due tomorrow morning. thanks...
