LOS ANGELES – Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman stood on the far side of the Michigan locker room.

“I want to ask you about Duncan Robinson’s defense,” I said.

Abdur-Rahkman started laughing and bent over at the waist. He looked down at the floor.

“We used to mess with him,” Abdur-Rahkman said. “We used to call him Uncan. Because there was no 'D' in D-uncan.”

He started laughing.

“But it’s made him buy into it a little more,” Abdur-Rahkman said.
