Because it’s Christmas, it’s time for a Duke Christmas present, and what could possibly be better than The Laettner Shot?
This clip is pretty cool because you see and hear more than you normally do.
For instance, there are some close up bench shots. We all know the Thomas Hill reaction to Laettner’s shot, but how many of you remember how Erik Meek reacted to Sean Wood’s amazing shot that preceded Laettner’s?
And you see that right after Woods hit that shot, Laettner was alert enough to not just call timeout but to put his hands up high where they could not be missed?
