All Time Greatest Plays in Duke History?

[drummerdevil]

I want to make a highlight reel of the best plays in Duke history. However, as I'm still young and haven't been watching Duke basketball since the stone age like some of y'all, I don't have a great idea of what those plays might be. Can people please recommend me some plays so I can create the ultimate Duke highlights?

Phil Henderson dunks on Alonzo Mourning in the regional finals in 1990.

Gene Banks dunks on Ralph Sampson at Cameron around 1980.

Grayson's diving save against Wisconsin in the national championship game in 2015.

Sean Dockery sinks a half-court shot to beat Va. Tech 77-75 in Cameron, December 4, 2005.

See this thread for some others, including the huge Hurley 3 against UNLV, JWill miracle minute, GHill impossible dunk, and "the shot" (of course).

As far as I'm concerned, this is THE greatest play in Duke basketball history --

Also

Battier’s block and backhand pass while going out of bounds.

Duhon’s full court rush to beat UNC 83-81.

[OldPhiKap]

Dawkins’ reverse slam against Navy — “abandon ship!!!”

Dawkins’ block of Notre Dame’s Shot by David Rivers (IIRC) to seal the win.

A lot of good ones already mentioned.

[subzero02]

Maggette's dunk over Temple to end the half in the 1999 regional final...

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Gene Banks from Kenny Dennard on senior night vs. carolina. LGD GTHc!

[slower]

Scheyer's save against Texas in the NCAA tournament. Possibly the SMARTEST big play in Duke history.

Ha! My immediate thought as well. Followed by the hirings of Bubas and Foster.

Robby West's late jumper to beat UNC in 1972, the day Duke Indoor Stadium became Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Good luck finding video on that.

As with any of several great Fred Lind stretch plays in '68 against the Heels.

David McClure's buzzer-beater against Clemson in 2007 was pretty neat.

As was Gerald Henderson against Belmont, 2008. Prolonged Duke's season for two days.

Jeff Mullins half court hot against Villanova in the Eastern Regional semi-finals in Reynolds Coliseum. I saw it live but have never seen it on replay.

Thanks for all the clips, guys. I'm finding all sorts of insane highlights that I never knew about. The video is more than halfway done. Please keep feeding me clips!

Please tell me that you are going to include the greatest most famous play in college hoops history.

And yes, there are insane highlights if you can find them. The resolution of the Banks dunk over Ralph is bad, but that's as good a dunk as was ever done by a Duke player or anyone else. And Phil Henderson's jam over Alonzo Mourning was maybe the first high profile big time dunk Duke had. It sent a message.

And for ugly but effective, and timely, there's Battiers back hand tap in late against Zona in the title game.

Assuming that the first play you are talking about is the Laettner shot, yes, every clip you have listed is already in the video.

Dockery from halfcourt for the win against VT

The Scheyer tip in against Butler was pretty great.
