As part of ESPN’s 25th anniversary celebration (have you heard anything about this? They’re being so low key about it!), they are running down the best plays in that 25 years. Not surprisingly, Christian Laettner’s shot against Kentucky made the list at #17. We’ve all seen the replay a zillion times, but if you remember, it was just the last play of an incredible game. It was the best basketball game I’ve ever seen. I can still clearly remember where I was and who I was with when I saw it, even though none of us were Duke or Kentucky fans.
I’m going to post another link in a second to an ever higher-rated ACC play. I bet you can guess what it is.
Update: The SportsProf vividly remembers this game, because he had tickets and skipped it. Maybe the SportsProf is really Robin Williams from Good Will Hunting.
