Everytime i see someone wearing a Duke hat I wonder if they ever played sports.
Pretty cool commercial actually. So what he went to Duke in a commercial, it's not that big a deal. We've been in commercials to.
I think I saw an FBI agent cameo in the Duke stands...
Yep. Love it too.
Fine jewelry also gives Duke recruiting a boost.
The Lance Thomas Series....
Why does this idiotic comment get posted in every Duke thread?

Hey Dufus, Jeff Eisenberg is a college basketball writer with no affiliation to UK. Try to keep up.
And some of you are blind
I take a Duke every morning.
Can’t wait until the rat is gone. Duke gets no more protection and Capel can run it into the ground.
UCLA, Indiana, Duke......
Wonder who the has been will after after that.

We certainly are, but, we have earned it, with more than 5 posts.
Effin' dook slurping. I'm surprised they didn't just CGI the kid's head onto Laettner's body for "the shot." Still gotta squeeze some more mileage out of that. ![[eyeroll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/rolleye/rolleye0011.r191677.gif "Eye roll [eyeroll]")
You are definitely consistent. Duke and UNC fans need not troll here when they have such a great defender 24/7.
That is so much garbage. Literally at Cameron Indoor. Bet Cal is thrilled about that.
Probably picked Duke because it's easy to find a hundred people to fill Cameron Indoor for the commercial.
It's kind of dumb of Nike to highlight one school over their others like that, but it doesn't really equate to preferential treatment for Duke. They get it, but this isn't one of the ways.

Don't matter. Coach K can't cheat time. He will continue to decline every year and his teams will be younger and harder to coach. He's digging his retirement early and I love it.
Some of you all? Which is it? some or all? and if you dont know that, why would anyone think you are an authority on who is obsessed or not?
I’m just about ready to put him on ignore. The moral preaching in every post is becoming intolerable.
If this was one incident, fine. This is a reoccurring issue. Remember the Parker commercial where he grows as a player in the Duke jersey to the pros?
Don’t remember Nike doing anything similar with UK and we’ve got waaay more prestige in the nba than Duke. Maybe I’m wrong and just don’t remember.

I wonder if this is going to be one of those commercials where they used a few different teams and just used Duke as the first run around for the nike commercial?
But if this is the only version... thats a little sh*tty to do to their other programs ... when it would of been easy to of just made it a generic college like jersey

Yeah, the other team is a fake Syracuse with a generic name.
The optics are pretty funny. Black kid growing up playing on the playground (kind of player Duke isn't famous for), dreaming of being the next Lebron. Apparently the path to that travels through Durham.
Hits game winner at Cameron Indoor, immediately surrounded by goofy white Dukies (players and fans).
I'm reminded of the old Jalen Rose quotes and can't help wondering if this isn't a (perhaps feeble) attempt at image adjustment. It isn't like there's a single accidental frame in the commercial. What are they trying to accomplish?

Don't kid yourself into thinking K won't win at least one more title before he retires/dies. The NCAA will make sure of it and the odds are in his favor.
What if he dies before he retires? Odds on K's corpse cutting down the nets?
If I have to choke down a title, one that might ultimately set him up perfectly to retire "on top".. then so be it.
I like Duke's chances to win another either this year or next.. but he has yet to show he can handle inexperienced and entitled freshman. He has yet to do anything without veterans and leadership in several key positions.
If college basketball can last 2-3 years, it'll be over and done with. He'll be stuck with freshman by then, almost 75, and surely with more health problems, all while having to hit the recruiting trail double time each season.. Meanwhile Cal has had a few seasons to retool his approach (aiming for recruits earlier now).
At worst, K will retire if/when the NBA makes a big rule change. He's not going to build a team from scratch when he's 74 and take his hits for two years just to MAYBE have a title-worthy team by 77.
Capel will have him propped up on the bench Weekend at Bernie's style so he can keep getting the calls and preferential treatment that Duke has come to rely on.
It AMAZES me how the people in charge at Nike would decide to create a commercial that would piss UK fans off!
I am sick of the college basketball world taking UK and it's fans for granted!! We are the BIGGEST and the BEST!! We spend more money than ANY other fans of NCAA Basketball.
It's not just Nike, several others(media, NCAA itself) are constantly disrespecting the UK program. I'm tired of it!!
