Fun article, but the NY Daily News website is atrocious.

That was interesting back up beeper......good for that writer for his self serve of crow.

Apropos of this, somewhere in the summer and early fall postings....I predicted here on DBR (and other places) that Zion would throw a kink into the national hatred of Duke - that he was so compelling and so gregarious that the haters would not be able to keep hating. I was more prophetic than I thought (which I guess means I really wasn't more prophetic than I thought....)

Lots of money quotes but here (in bold) is the true summary:


Despite the FBI’s investigation into college basketball, despite Williamson missing time after his shoe exploded on national television (adding another chapter into discussing the student-athlete conversation), an 18-year-old with comic-book proportions has emerged as the runaway best player in the country, with a talent so bright, so obvious, so thrilling that he threatens to do the unthinkable: Turn America into a bunch of Duke fans.

Even more unthinkable, he had UNC fans cheering for his dunks in Charlotte. What's this world coming to????

Zion is a lock to win every national player of the year award after becoming only the third player in ACC history, alongside Jahlil Okafor and Marvin Bagley, to win the conference’s Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year in the same season I guess I knew the bold to be true, but it's fun seeing it in writing that he'll be the third and that the previous two were also Duke players.
