    Duke players have made a lot of money in the NBA

    According to this article in the WSJ, Duke is #2 on the Alumni NBA Loot List:

    Since 1985, Duke players have collectively made $800 million. That would take 5.3 Allen Iverson's to burn through all that cash.

    SIDE NOTE: Can we please add the unit "Allen Iverson" to represent $150 million?

    Going back that far must help the heels a lot as I've read things that measure current NBA players and Duke has the lead by far. More players and more money.

    Check out what Boozer and Deng are doing for the bulls. Oh yeah...
    Irving is just about a lock for rookie of the year.

    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Rubio just had the spotlight, he is not on Irving'a level at all. The emergence of Jeremy Lin helps Kyrie a good bit because it took all the attention away from Rubio.
