OT: Sports trivia part 2.
- Thread starter skysdad
- Start date
Coach K talked about how special Battier was. What did Shane do in high school that showed how smart and unique he was?
It has nothing to do with sports

I’m not sure on this Sky. If he was, you’re up, but I am asking something he did his junior year. It’s one of the most impressive things I’ve ever heard in high school.
He was class president AND treasurer.
P.S. This means don't know.
I'm just guessing. OFC
As a junior in high school, Battier gave the commencement speech to another high schools graduating seniors.
Sky, go on with the next question. You may have been right as well

Duke fb player late 70s I believe. Pretty sure he was tragically one of the 9/11 victims.

Dukeman thanks.....Back to Duke basketball, who led the Blue Devils in 3pt shooting in the 90s, hitting at a 48.6 percentage?
OFC
I can think of one really big shot he made
That was my favorite 3 pointer ever made by a Dukie. Marshall's was right up there though. Loved me some Marshall and happy we are mentioning Laettners and other all time Dukie names. Here's what happens and I'm a part of it. As years go by and the great, great players that come in year after year the more we forget the great, great players of Dukie's of the past. Someone mentioned that Coach K said walker kessler reminded him of Laettner. The problem is that kessler may not know who Laettner is. It's getting close to 30 years now since Christian played. OFC

I can think of at least two really big shots he hit.

Sorry to be so long,Lets change directions,Carl Lewis won 9 Olympic gold medals,how many of those were in the long jump?
Only three times has the AP National Player of the Year not led his team in scoring. Duke had two of those guys in Zion Williamson and Shane Battier (RJ was 22.63 ppg and Zion was 22.60 ppg, if we're being technical). Who was the other player to win AP POY without leading his team in scoring?
Not Michael Jordan or Jason Williams.
Williams was the leading scorer in 2001 when Battier was the NPOY, however. Williams won the award the next year - and he led the team in scoring, again.

The only other NPOY not from Duke or unc I remember is Joe Smith, but I'm pretty certain he was the leading scorer.
Not McMillen or Smith.
The list is getting narrowed (ACC, not Duke or UNC). If you know who the NPOY winners are, you only have a few to select from now.
