  • We’re back this week with 2x NBA champion and Duke legend, Shane Battier! The trio gets into Battier’s high school career at Detroit Country Day, his stint as a ball boy for the Pistons, and his illustrious career at Duke. They break down Shane’s unique approach to defense, his back-to back-championships with Miami, and the “game within the game” that he relished playing with Kobe. Tune in!

      I get what you're saying. He seems completely different than most players in the league. With his style of playing and the way he carries himself inside and outside the court he always represented the image of a true professional basketball player.

    I'm definitely a UNC guy; but I've always had a respect for Shane as a player. I always knew he would be a solid pro. 💯

      He, Grant Hill, Elton Brand, and Corey Magette are the only cats who made it tough to hate Duke. Coach K was getting some game changing recruits back in the 90's.
