Duke basketball legend praises the intensity and passion of key role players

Following Duke's 98-96 overtime victory over North Carolina on Saturday many former Blue Devil players took to social media to express their amazement and joy of the victory over the Tar Heels.

However, one of the most iconic players in the Duke Men's Basketball program didn't make his feelings known until Sunday evening.

Christian Laettner took to Twitter to show his appreciation for Jordan Goldwire and Joey Baker and how the two are the perfect teammates and players to represent what Duke basketball is all about.

On Saturday night, Goldwire and Baker were both on the floor during Duke's miraculous comebacks in the second half and overtime.
