Watched it and loved it. Coach K, Duke and Christian Laettner came off as classy and the face of excellence.

To make the Final Four every single year of Christian Laettner's career was simply astounding and incredible.

Well I was living the era that Duke went from a formerly great program that was way down, but widely loved.....to them being a good, then great, then dominant program - that was hated.

What the ESPN special made clear is what I’ve always known...the hatred is absurd, misplaced, and based on totally incorrect assumptions. People see K and Laettner on TV and think they “hate” them. They don’t know them.

I thought the ESPN special exposed the haters as petty, baseless, small....while Duke, K, and the entire Laettner family came off as not only great, but worthy of respect and admiration.
