Elton Brand retiring today

[Quavarius]

Would like to see if we could make room for him on our bench.

i hope he finishes his degree, so #42 can go up in the rafters!!!!!

Was in school there at the same time as him. He was an absolute beast on the glass. Even had a "You Got Branded" shirt at the time.

I would absolutely love that to happen, however Elton has his hands in many ventures away from the court. I think he may continue to grow those.

I love big Elton.

He averaged 20 pts. a game over his first 8 seasons, before he ruptured his Achilles. He was never quite the same player after that, but still managed to have a solid 9 more years, which speaks to him as a player and a man.

Elton was fun to watch. Wishing the big fella all the best!

Which is why I would love to see him on the Duke bench. He could be our Danny Manning, coaching the BIGS

Great player for Duke! He helped turn that game around his frosh year when he came back vs unc. Unreal player his soph year, number one pick and ROY. Great all around guy and ambassador for Duke.

Best of luck to Elton. It's a shame he suffered that Achilles injury. He was never the same after that.

Very solid NBA career. Nothing to be ashamed of at all. Hoping also that he gets that degree and #42 goes up. OFC
