Ode to Duke... JJ for President and Sheldon for VP...now thats what i call a winning team

Alright...so tonight marks the 15th win for Duke this season...AWESOME...can i say that again...AWESOME!!! I know many of you are wondering why Duke...Why the love for JJ...well ladies and if any gentlemen read this...ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE AMAZING...i love this team...i love the school i love the coaches i LOVE the players and i LOVE how excited i get watching it! Some people hate Duke because they compare them to the Yankees...for all of you that think that...i hate you. C'mon people...Duke is consistently the best because they a) recruit the best b) Coach K c) coach K d) coach K. To not respect one of the best coaches of all time is a SHAME...he knows how to make great teams...and makes his players work for it...this is why Coach K is one of my favorite people...To show how much i love this team..and how much of my time is dedicated to reading/writing/watching this team i'm going to give alittle run down of my boys

JJ Redick- Jonathan Clay Redick...from virginia...Mcdonalds All American...been starting since he was a FRESHMAN...fell in LOVE with him the first time i saw him play because a) had the sweetest 3 point shot i've ever seen in my life b) no tattoo's ( wise choice for such a white guy) He is amazing...he shoots better than anyone in the NBA...Magic said it himself tonight...there is no better shooter in the NCAA or NBA right now. Thank you Magic you just moved up on my list. Tonights game is just one of many games where JJ knows how to mess with the heads of the opponents and make 4 point shots ( yes i know there isnt such thing but seriously when you shoot over 3 guys shouldnt that be a 4 pointer??) JJ also has on record the best free throw shooting percentage in the NCAA...cmon people give the boy props for that!!! He is the best basketball player ive ever seen...and yes i have seen MJ but i still dont think that guy was human
Sheldon Williams- talk about what a difference a year makes!!! He started out good Freshman year...he brought the inside game to duke which the desperately needed...he's big and he's not afraid of anyone. In the beginning he was alittle wild but boy oh boy after one summer of working out he widened by like a foot and gained 40 pounds of muscle. Williams is vital to Duke and now that he's got McRoberts they are amazing in the paint...Also tonight he got the 3rd Triple Double in Duke History...that is awesome...the game was awesome...suck it maryland
Sean Dockery- now this boy may have not stood out too much for me due to never having a very strong presence...Best Wishes to Duhon in the NBA...but i have come to realize that dockery is key to what duke is all about...passing...calling plays...being there when we need him and MAKING ONE SECOND SHOTS TO WIN THE GAME...thats right...he has a piece of my heart after the Virginia Tech game with the 1.6 second half court shot...really..that was the best moment of duke basketball and i doubt it can be beaten unless by a National Championship
Greg Paulus- Maddi's Boy...good freshman...plays at times like he's a junior...he's getting the hang of commanding the greatest team on earth and seems to be taking in stride how great he can be with this team. He's leading in assists and he made the first 5 points of the night...sweet job Greg...keep up the work
Josh McRoberts-my next boy- he plays tough and isnt afraid to dunk...i like that attitude...we need that...and he's another white boy that can jump...i respect that. He's also JJ's close buddy...so ofcourse im a fan. from the words of my dad "McRoberts will take Duke to the National Championship"

Ok Thats the best starting line ive ever seen...tonights game was amazing...and i cant wait till saturday when we play Clemson...poor kids...they dont know whats coming...i love duke...and i'm sorry but i'm sure i'll blog about them again!


OLD SCHOOL DUKE...LOVE TO DUHON AND EWING
