30 for 30: I Hate Christian Laettner

[1hawkeye1]

The show reminded me of why I never cared for the guy. even his own teammates said he was a *****.

I'm over it now. Old age mellows a guy.

BTW, his older brother seemed like an even bigger *** than Christian.

 

[eveningnewsteam]

I never knew Laettner was hated.

 

[ThunderHawk]

People hate him because he looks like the stereotypical rich elitist pr!ck who you'd expect to find at Duke.

That's pretty much the beginning and end of it.

 

[HobbieHawk]

I absolutely hated Laettner and Hurley when I was growing up. The older I get, the more respect I have for both of them.

Senility setting in

"Christian's older brother, confusingly named......
Chris."

and he acted like it too

I hated Laettner. He was a dick then and he's a dick now. Perfect Dukie.

Never bothered me.

Never bad-mouthed Iowa. Never beat Iowa.

Meh. Dumb topic if you ask me.

Laettner and Duke beat Iowa two straight years in the round of 32 in 91 and 92.

Lol....gawd...what was I thinking.

Never beat Iowa with a slop shot...how's that?

I don't think he trashed talked Iowa. Anyway....didn't bother me one way or another.

Now Wade Lookingbill, there's a guy who loved to talked ****. Laettner probably couldn't get a word in while Wade was running his mouth at him all game.

Wade talking trash? What did he say, "just wait until I get you under the basket, I'm going to pump fake you a minimum of 3 times, you won't know what's going on. I might even travel."

Wade was known to yell "All day, mother****er, all day" while in the middle of seven pump fakes in a row.

Laettner said him self in a interview before the 30 for 30 piece on Saturday that he was trash talking AC Earl. Making fun of his unorthodox style of playing and Coach K pulled he out of the game.

Did you mean Acie Earl? Or perhaps AC Slater?

couldn't be Slater, he turned down a scholarship to wrestle at Iowa so he could stay close to his friends.

Hurley talked **** all the time. I remember Kevin Smith trying to throw Hurley into the 2nd row at Cameron Indoor

I remember the story about Hurley whining about Chris Street being too close to the baseline at the front of the press, and Street telling him to just shut up and play ball.
