If we are to believe Jalen Rose, Coach K doesn't know what keeping it real is. The players he recruits don't know what keeping it real is. He only recruits Uncle Toms.First time a 76er has beat someone in months.
The other report of having a gun pointed at his head by yet another heckler in Philly is super concerning.
These young cats need to realize it's a jungle out there and that they are massive targets. Coach K teach your Dukies of how keeping it real can go wildly wrong.
Jesus way to mess up the context and time frame he was talking about.
Up until the early 2000s Coach K would only recruit a certain type of black player. He literally just started changing up the type of black players he would recruit over the past 10 years or so. Okafor would've never been on them 90s Duke teams
That stigma was real and growing up in North Carolina, Duke was one of the last pwi in the state to even let black athletes play there. UNC (dean smith) and Wake led the charge during those times.
It's why my dad became a UNC fan and why I followed in behind him in being a fan.
And it's why I always when black folks in my state go so hard for Duke.
That college racial history trash.
