Official NBA 2012-2013 Season Thread

Laettner was not a better player than Hansbrough and not even comparable to Kareem or Walton. He had great performances in the tournament and of course the Kentucky game but outside of that, his numbers/accolades can't hold up with Hansbrough.

Fine, then tack on his NBA career, which better than Hansbrough's will ever be. Still not in the hall.

Can't knock Melo off physically huh? Don't tell the 40 year old.

Grant Hill can guard all 5 at once?

Wait, what? Laettner not better than Hansbrough? ON WHAT PLANET????

I'm no Duke apologist or anything along those lines, but that's blasphemy.

Everyone just needs to agree that nobody is getting into the Hall of Fame based on college stats alone. The only person who comes close was Walton, but he was also an MVP and led his team to a title (and was part of another championship squad), so it was a combination of both.

Is Vlade gonna get voted in?

Rudy with a Stacey Augmon lookin dunk. Yeeesh. #Plasticman

There is a College Basketball Hall of Fame. Laettner, for one - is in it.

Laetner vs Hansbourgh......is this a new low?

I'll say this, Hansbroughs college stats are better than Laettners across the board. Hansbrough has twice as many All Americans (4 to 2), and is the leading scorer in ACC history. They are both National Champions of course

Different don't mean good in this case

I was being facetious.

I will never get the past 10 minutes of my life back trying to find an image of Christian Laettner's mother wearing a neck brace behind the Duke bench.

Today was the 1st day I have ever questioned the power of the internets

In the modern era (preps to pros era), Laettner is far and away the best college player. In fact, going back even further, he might be the greatest college player ever (Jabbar and Walton are in the discussion as well). Yet, he's still not in the Hall. Again, if he's not in, then nobody else should be discussed.

Laettner was not a better player than Hansbrough and not even comparable to Kareem or Walton. He had great performances in the tournament and of course the Kentucky game but outside of that, his numbers/accolades can't hold up with Hansbrough.

Laettner wasn't better than Hansbrough? Not sure if serious.

I'm so glad that dude isn't all over TV anymore. With his awkward, herky-jerky ***. He was good at flopping.. I'll give him that. Most of his points came off FTs, good old ACC refs.

What are we basing it off of? Numbers and awards? If so there is no argument to be made for Laettner. If y'all wanna talk "winning" that has nothing to do with how each of them performed individually and I'm a Duke supporter.

Serious question...did you ever watch Laettner play when he was at Duke?

I wasn't born yet, I've only seen tape.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Wtf happened to this thread... my goodness

 

[addict4sneakers]

i don't think it can be questioned that laettner is the GOAT ACC player.

he put in work in a completely different era, when guys went to school for 3 years before jumping to the league. he made the Dream Team for a reason.

i can't stand Hansboroughs game btw.

 

[mister friendly]

Laettner is better than Tyler. College Basketball had a much better level of play back then.
