Zippy87 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 (edited) Two things I've learned about LeBron over the last 20 or so years: 1) LeBron is fiercely loyal to and will do anything to support his best friends - Maverick, Rich, Dru, Willie, Sian, Romeo, Frankie. 2) He's a very smart man and is very intentional in what he does. As speculation grew over KD retiring, Bron started posting more about the Dukes. They win, he sends them shoes. They win again today, he posts these consecutively: He's showing the higher ups at Duquesne that he'd be actively in their corner if Dru gets the job.

I had the right church, wrong pew. KD still got to see him play regularly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the Dukes are still hanging around. They've had a horseshoe up their butts for the past few months. For some reason I feel like they might somehow make a comeback.

Once they got healthy they played really well the rest of the season. You don't get lucky for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZippyRulz Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 (edited) I didn't watch the whole game but I saw where they were talking about KD retiring and showing Dru on the bench and talking him up. They also showed the team opening their boxes of sneakers from LeBron. Duq. got a lot of good exposure in the tourneys from the LBJ connection so they might just want to keep a good thing going.

GP1 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 (edited) I broke one of my own rules picking my bracket this year. I try to pick upsetters based upon late season performance. I passed on a late surging Duquesne. I'm in one of those polls where you get a point for win and the difference in seeding if you pick an upset. I was at least smart enough to pick NC State to the Sweet 16. I also put too much faith in Kansas. They were overrated all season and it showed. None of it really matters. I had Kentucky losing to UNC in the finals. Edited March 24 by GP1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD has already had a talk with our administration about helping UA in the future, both the institution and athletics. He wants to be a presence in Akron. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 If it's not name after something/someone already, name the court after him. Akron doesn't have a lot of sports tradition. This would remind fans of success when they are in constant search of negativity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
