Getting in the Way Back Machine-Kenny Dennard

[JimBD]

What a great interview. Kenny Dennard was one of my favorite Duke players ever.
Speaking about Dennard's heart as a player, I remember Al McGuire saying "give me four Kenny Dennards and one superstar, and I'll give you a National Champion!" Thanks for re-running the interview.

Hilarious stuff. Thanks for the re-run. Can't wait to see Ozzie's photo of a certain aerosol can he has. Heh-heh.

He is one of a kind - a true Duke legend.

Kenny made curls on men popular in Durham!

Well, since you asked for it...

My dad gave me that can about 35 years ago. The label is a bit faded, but certainly still readable. I wonder if Bill Foster used the same "source" as my dad? This can was "filled", or at least distributed, in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, which is where we lived.

This can looks similar, but Bill's Bold Black Letters ... was one of the funniest things I had ever seen the first time he pulled it out of his desk drawer!!

Welcome to the board, Kenny.

Been a fan for a long time and saw that reverse dunk at the NCAA's up in Providence.

Welcome indeed KD. Thanks for popping in. Looking forward to seeing you again at Tailgate this fall...

Great interview, as they all were..you always knew that truth and humor would merge with Kenny. One of a kind, great guy. One of the best to ever play here. Will never forget that reverse dunk. Thanks for linking, DukieInKansas!

Welcome to DBR, KD!

I have been a daily reader of DBR for more years than I can remember, but have never signed up for boards due to my fear of being drunk one night and saying something I might regret ... wait a minute, did I just write that out loud? Seriously, thanks for the love and I look forward to sharing more stories from my particular perspective in my upcoming book, "Back Stories From the Front Lines" or as I named the original working title, "Drunk Talk Is Just Sober Thinking". Working towards publishing on 12/12/12!!

Again, thanks to all!

We can now look forward to the release of your book at the same time the Stone Brewing Company releases their final edition/version of Vertical Epic on 12/12/12. What a occasion that should be!

Welcome a-board, Kenny! We'll never forget the reverse slam against Villanova; I about hit the ceiling when you threw that one down! Seems like just yesterday I went over to Durham High to see your team play for the state 3A championship in '77. Has it really been that long? Four years of incredible basketball and memories, culminating in the perfect pass to Gene for that shot at the end. Truly unforgettable.

Did ya ever happen to see any others? Like, let's say...the 3A back in '73?
