Adam Ganz of the Chronicle has
a nice piece out on former Duke great Bobby Hurley. In retrospect, his
career is hard to believe. The greatest play we ever saw in Cameron
involved Hurley, Laettner, and Brian Davis, but we might not rember who started
it. It was a Christmas game so the students seats were open.
Laettner (we think) threw a pass to Hurley, who ran it down near the
halfcourt and had to leap out of bounds to catch it. He turned in mid-air and
hit Davis for a perfect alley-oop. The entire thing took about a second.
It was breathtaking.
There have been a lot of great clutch plays in Cameron over the decades, but
we've never seen a more amazing play. The only one that rivals it was David
Thompson's block of Pete Kramer in 1974.
