This was my favorite championship team. Lakers won title over Celtics got revenge same year and I graduated high school. Amazing year all around lol
Graduated high school that same year. My favorite Duke squad as well, they had a lot of grit.
Same here! LA Lakers and Duke die hard fan here
Saints won too
this was such a tough team. it was on full display vs baylor
Jon was like the best player in Illinois in 2006 & 2007, I was in High School around the same time. My high school had a history of good hoopers (The best in our school's history Julian Wright, only one to make it to the NBA - HF High School, I was a freshman his senior year) but nobody in Chicago not named Derrick Rose around that time wanted smoke with Jon Scheyer.
Definitely was the best in the state for a year or 2 b4 rose and Simeon came , he played in a tournament in the summer at my school he scored 60 on some team, it felt like a nba player was there 😂
Funny thing about Scheyer is the coach at Illinois was brothers with Jon's high school coach and still couldn't land him.
I saw Jon Scheyer play at Marshall County Hoopfest in December 2005 against Memphis Ridgeway. He had 36 points in a easy victory against Ridgeway. That moment I knew he’d be my favorite Duke player of all time. And now he’s going to begin a legacy as our new head coach in 2022. I love it!
He was a great high school player. Turned into a really good college player. Now he has a chance to be a great coach.
My favorite Duke team
Very good, but 2 big criticisms of this video. 1. Needed more on the sudden emergence of Zoubek from being basically a project/practice player, to an impressive collegiate true center. 2. The Baylor game deserved mention. That was an absolute war and is one of the best all-time Duke NCAA tourney games and finishes.
Agree 100%. It wasn’t until Zoubek put it all together that this team reached their peak form. My favorite Duke team to date.
Agreed. Zoubs was the absolute key to that title run
Nolan owned Tweety Carter that game. Torched him for 29 points and hit three 3s including K giving him dap after hitting the second one
They couldn’t even mention how awful singler played lmao
Yeah the Baylor game deserves to be mentioned because Baylor got screwed. Duke doesn't even deserve to win that game.
I wear that 2010 title shirt every Duke game.
The hat comes out every March madness for me :) let’s get another one! (Wasn’t a fan of the gold lettering in 2015)
Kyle Singler came around about 10 years too early. He would be the perfect wing defender for a NBA team today.
So many people had Kentucky winning by a landslide. Trust me imagine living in Kentucky as a Duke fan. Luckily my boss let me leave work early that night so I can watch the entire game.
Hey I'm from Kentucky. Born in bowling Green. Huge Duke fan also. I even had a gold chain. With a gold Duke pendant.
This year was the year I first watched March madness and this team is where my fandom for duke basketball began.
Repping the same conference from the Chicago suburbs, I wish nothing but the best from Jon and the Dukies.
Once Big Zoubec started playing like a monster it was over.
Loved this team
Saw him live at Proviso West when he scored about 20 points in a minute.. His team lost, but he had the whole building on their feet.
I love the content throughout the entire series but I gotta say ..THE LOFI HITTIN 😩
I love our one and donee’s but I pray to God we get back to this
Amazing video
Here right after the Duke vs Texas Tech. Go Devils
Coach K is the greatest coach of all time that talks through his nose. He may be the only coach in history to talk through his nose, which would make him the greatest by default to talk through his nose, but that is somewhat beside the point. John Wooden was the greatest overall, but since he didn’t talk through his nose it’s difficult to compare the two. Despite the fact that John Wooden didn’t talk through his nose he was able to win 10 NCAA Championships, seven consecutively, go undefeated 4 times and win 88 games in a row. But as everyone says, it was a lot easier to put up those kinds of numbers back in Wooden’s era. It’s just odd that, despite how much easier it was to do so, Wooden was the only coach able to do it. Go figure.
It's crazy that this was a surprise. That team was loaded.
Scheyer bringing in big recruits.. He’s going to be fine because he’s always gonna be able to call Coach K
This is my favorite chip... unc was rolling, the barnes betrayal, no depth at guard (Dawkins had some huge moments).. just grit and toughness. Scheyer had big buckets versus Baylor
Definitely, my favorite Duke team.
I remember beginning of the year. Seeing Jon play point. Thought it was a huge choice. He was fantastic all year.
I want Scheyer to bring in excellent players but that stay for Senior and Junior years. I think many Duke fans are tired of these ones and dones.
Excellent players don't stay for four years. Nor should they. If you want to see him build a team around three and four stars that take a few years to develop, that's one thing. But you don't get to have it both ways.
@@coreybuckner1652 Excellent players can be developed so yeah, I'd prefer to have a one and done at the most and develop the other players.
@@nowayjose1313 yeah so would every other college team in the country. But this is the reality we live in.
@@nowayjose1313 So you're smarter than Coach K? What you prefer doesn't matter. For Duke to remain at this level, the one and done culture HAS to continue there. So Duke gets 1 one and done. Let's go with that. The 5 star recruits all know each other. A lot of them are friends and want to play with each other. The best recruits will go elsewhere. That's unavoidable. Why do you think Coach K changed the culture there? Because he was loosing to one and done teams. To compete at the highest level, he had to. You're wishing for the past. Welcome to the foreseeable future. Stay a while.
@@stevefranklin1042 I think you are looking too close to a big picture. Duke has only won games during the one and done era when the team actually plays like a team. The 2015 team was not going to win without Grayson Allen and have a team response to his energy.
This team would not win any games without players like Roach and AJ contributing.
You cannot name me many games that Duke won because their one and done players scored 30+ points in that game and outclassed the opposing team.
Duke is winning the tournament right now because the coach is coaching and the players are responding.
This is not the NBA, this is college ball. This is the game where St. Peters beat Kentucky and deserved it.
The Olympic gold medal was summer 2008, not summer 2009
Singler was Def looked at as a top level prospect
Went against brad stevens as a coach and Joe Mazzulla as champion
Jon Scheyer led a team of ringers who held on until CBB had a down year absent of any heavyweights, then capitalized on a tourney run where they faced multiple teams missing key starters, then ultimately scraped by five seed Butler by two points.
So, yeah, I’d say that was a surprise for all of us
Keep huffing that Copium
@@nurzetv8866 you butthurt buddy dude was speakin facts
this was a very tough duke team
I was (still is) a Maryland fan born and raised as one. Could t stand Jon and Singler. But we beat them sometimes. Vasquez’s senior night. Duke Maryland rivalry was second best in the nation behind Unc-Duke
Easily the 2nd best rivalry duke had wish the terps were back in the ACC
I think Jon Scheyer should’ve got a shot in the NBA.
Lots of angry Haters here. What's cool about it is that every game they win, these lamers get more butthurt. It's beautiful, really.
If scheyer was comin out now, he’d be a lottery pick. 6’5 can handle, pass, and shoot. Like a more efficient grieves Vasquez(who led the L in assists)
Smith Schyer Singler Palmlee zubac
is college basket better then the NBA's ?
LOL Maryland
Duke Haters, 🤪🤣😂🤣
Shouldn't have even beat Baylor in the Elite 8, Baylor got screwed on a block/charge call
🥰😇
I still think scheyer should've been drafted I know he was a senior not an elite athlete but look at the resume, the shooting, 6'5. Not even a second rounder
I thought the same thing averaged 18 and 4 a game that championship season, and didn’t even get a sniff at the NBA wth?!?
@@timboslice8559 and the best free throw and 3point shooter in the ncaa. But guys like Adam Morrison got a cup of coffee in the nba
Let’s not forget singlers poor offense and shooting almost cost duke repeatedly
You can pick and choose what player could cost a game, but when it counted, he was huge
I think that was the following year. Singler was really good in 2010.
Coach.K deserved to be in the Nba H.O.F.....
"ALARMINGLY UNATHLETIC" 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😈😈😈
Can he bring the flopping, cheating, and hacking back or will they just stick with one and dones who don’t really care?
Let it go. You'll feel better.
Jesus saves
This was when I just couldn't stand Duke. From about 08-18 I wanted nothing but to see them lose. Now, who cares. 😂
They’re gonna be trash now. No one wants to play for Jon Scheyer
The recruiting rankings for this year, next year and the year after says otherwise. The coaching part has yet tbd.
It's so cute to see people say things like this lol shows you how wishful thinking trumps logic for neanderthals
Jon Scheyer has recruited some of their best players like Tatum.
Seriously overated as a coach,,, coach k. Same with Nick Saban, if you get all the best highschool players in the country come play in your basketball or football team of course your going to have the most wins and most championships. I could easy do the same thing. Ridiculous.
I hope you’re kidding 🤣
No,, dead serious. Why do you think there is a draft and salery caps in pro sports,,,, because why. So 3 or 4 teams don't have every best player out of college etc. Wouldn't be fair. The fact the every top ten player out of highschool go to Duke or Alabama is unfair and ridiculous. Any average coach would be great. Look at Phil Jackson,,, they look at him as one of of the best coaches ever in the NBA. Well is you coached Jordan,,,pippen,,rodman,, Shaq and Kobe of course your gunna win 12 championship. Plus all the great supporting cast. Phil got lucky with that in the pro but college is unfair and Saban and k are extremely overrated
The fact they ever lose is my point of their coaching ability
"I could easy do the same thing" Then do it, "Coach". We'll follow your rise to success.
Lol ridiculous
