Duke part 5

Luol deng,

you get an immediate response. it's obviously better than writing this damn paper. and i'm obviously checking gmail every few seconds waiting for your response. so i also expect a quickish response from you. i know you don't have a job, so you can't use that excuse on me.

i love your coach k hypothesis...it's so true. i wish it wasn't, but i suppose in my clearly biased view of him, i had overlooked this. we also have to remember that EVERY year they are in the top 10 preseason and often choke in the NCAA tournament, losing to shitty teams like belmont ( i dont think they lost to them, but it was close) Maybe coach k isn't even alive anymore, maybe hes like weekend at bernies with steve wojekowhoweverthefuckyouspellmynameski, johnny dawkins and chris collins carrying him around and making it look like hes alive. because they are consistently underachieving. even on the current team...paulus went from 3 year starter to 6th man, david mcclure might as well not play, john scheyer has somehow lost his innate ability to drain every shot. their starting center is brian zoubek, gerald henderson is a ridiculous athlete who should already be in the NBA, because I am not sure how much basketball talent he really has and he should start making millions before someone in the NBA finds out. do you think coach k is that great a recruiter or he just scoops up all the "good" white guys. Seriously, when was the last time that they got a real HS stud who went on to be a stud in college? reddick (underrated in hs)? elton brand? luol deng? corey maggette? I see a trend among the last guys... I'll jump on the URI bandwagon, Jimmy Baron is ridiculous. I once shot jumpshots with him. He was much better than me, but i did hit a couple. (btw...he's just as tall as me. i think this explains why i was not division 1 material. i was a mediocre power forward/center at 6'4ish". He's a sharpshooter at the same height. Makes sense now)

love,
jay bilas

p.s. this response took me roughly 15 minutes again. my productivity is rapidly decreasing.
