The main page references Battier's winning the NBA Magic Johnson Award, which is the 5th time a Duke player has won the award in 9 years.

That's about as amazing as the fact that K's former assistants are currently the head coaches at a bunch of schools (including Buffalo), but particularly at Stanford, Harvard, Northwestern, and Notre Dame.

I'm not sure which of the above is more amazing.

We are also way over-represented among bball announcers and among sports administrators and among alums who seem to be thriving away from sports.

Cheers all around...

In case anyone else is as curious as I was, the others were:

Grant Hill (2008)
Luol Deng (2007)
Elton Brand (2006)
Grant Hill (2005)

Grant Hill managed to win each of his on a different team, and the fact that he won his second the year after Luol Deng (who would have been something like 7 or 8 when Grant entered the league) is pretty amazing.
