Steve Lavin is a big believer in that whole “the Cameron Crazies are the best basketball fans in the world” narrative.
I was flipping around TV the other night and I came across that classic 1980s movie The Karate Kid. I liked The Karate Kid because it was one of the great underdog movies of all times that had that dramatic winning finish for plucky Daniel Laruso against the leading member of the evil Cobra Kai Karate School. And it got me thinking. The Cobra Kai were well trained in the art of karate but taught to execute in an aggressive attacking manner that often employed some questionable techniques. In competition they pushed the rules envelope to get away with as much as they could. Winning was the most important thing and there was no mercy. Then it dawned on me. Duke is the college basketball version of the Cobra Kai. These are skilled and well coached basketball players who also bring an intensity and aggressiveness that at times rubs people the wrong way and at times engage in questionable physical play. They push the envelope to win almost at all costs without mercy. It is still basketball but some one argue not basketball the way it should be played much the same it was in TKK. So tonight UNC takes the floor against the Cobra Kai. Let’s all pray no one tells Greg Paulus to “sweep the leg” should Ty Lawson play.
