Devil Inside

I've been a Duke fan since my oldest sister started at Duke the same year I started first grade. I'm not saying how long ago that was, but the names Heyman, Mullins, Buckley, Tyson, Schmidt, Herbster, Ferguson, et al, are some of the first names I recall. I've also been a fan and follower of this board for many years. In fact, it was my main "goto" during the several years I lived and woked in Asia, probably reaching a peak the night of the 2010 NCAA semi-final game when I watched the game in the Tokyo airport on one computer and followed the in-game thread on another. Fortunately, I made it back home in time to watch the Blue Devils cut down the nets in the finals. While I have had the urge to post here in the past, my insecutities and fear that Kedsey would eviscerate my mere opinion with real facts has kept me on the sidelinesto this point. But now I have a cause that I think we all can agree with.
Of all the players I've watched over the years, by far my favorite is JJ Redick. Perhaps it's because our shooting technique was so similar, with the small exception that his is a thing of perfection and mine was a brick mason's wet dream. Anyway, I think it has been a travesty that JJ has been excluded from the NBA's 3 point contest during his entire career. Maybe not a travesty in the grand scheme of life, but at least a 7 on the Ole Roy Scale of Natural Disasters and Human Suffering. So, here is maybe a small chance for us to help get JJ into this years contest. I came across a web site this morning that basically is a recap of the 2015 NBA all-star events. Within the site is a poll where you can select who you would like to see in the competition.

While it is not an official NBA site (I thought it was at first), it certainly wouldn't hurt for us to go in and stuff the balot box in JJ's favor. So let's all do our little part and help give JJ the opportunity that he so richly deserves!
