Duke fans are of course familiar with Gerald Henderson; after all he played for Duke for three seasons, much of it spectacular. Who can forget his massive, angry dunk at Maryland?
Talk about emotional plays.
Yet when he came to Duke, he came as Gerald Jr.
His father, Gerald Sr., played at VCU and was a solid though not spectacular NBA guard.
He had to move up from the Tucson Gunners, catching on with the Boston Celtics just as the Larry Bird was about to begin.
In 1984, the team had been rebuilt around Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish.
