Harrison Barnes deserves all the ridicule and criticism he gets.
Generally as decent human beings we want everyone to do well. It's the whole 'do well' part that needs some review. From a purely sports perspective, I want Harrison to not only fail, but FAIL MISERABLY. I'm not wishing ill health upon him and I don't care if he ends up a multi-millionaire... however, by putting on that UNC jersey, I wish him 0-for-14 performances every night, crying on the sidelines, and analysts talking about him going down as one of the biggest overly-hyped busts of all time. Yes, I wish him to do that poorly.
Don't let the better half of you feel bad for this kid. It was clear to everyone that before he played a second of college basketball that his ego was the size of Canada. I don't think there has ever been a freshman basketball player in the history of the NCAA that has given themselves a nick-name and has tried to perpetuate said nickname by wearing a heavy chain around campus (for those who don't know, the nickname is 'Black Falcon,' and that medallion dangles from Harrison's neck). Name me a freshman player who before playing a single college game, walked around campus wearing an 'I'm that Dude' t-shirt. Think about how his team-mates felt about that, after coming off one of the worst seasons in UNC's history. Remember skype-fest? This kid deserves all the ridicule he's getting... and as Duke fans, we have a duty to layer it on thick.
