YouTube Gold: Dahntay’s Pushups

If you were watching Duke Basketball in the aughts, you’ll remember Dahntay Jones and his trip to Charlottesville in 2003.

In his day, transfers were still pretty rare under Mike Krzyzewski. He was maybe the second, following Rowshon McLeod in the late 1990’s.

A close friend of Duke star Jason Williams, Jones transferred from Rutgers and moved into the starting lineup the year after Shane Battier graduated. He was athletic and tough and very popular with Duke fans.

Other ACC schools?

Not so much.

And perhaps the fan base that held him in the most disdain was Virginia.
