Christian Laettner

All I wanted to do was win. People have to remember that when I came to Duke, they'd started to get a reputation that they can't win the big game. We were aware of that, and we hated it. ”

It's not good to be a hater. ”

Part of me would like for not all the Kentucky, Carolina, and Connecticut fans to despise me, but another part of me realizes that's not important. ”

I pursued to have my team win as much as we could, and it doesn't happen without great teammates. ”

I love muskie fishing in the summer time. ”

I'm up in Minneapolis all the time. I love being up there. ”

Every basketball thing I do now through my academy is always in a muskie state so I can work both those passions at the same time. ”

I'd love to do movies. ”

If you are not a Dukie, and Duke is having a lot of success year after year, you might get tired of it. They might not like your competing personality or competing persona, and if you are not a Dukie, or you don't love Duke or Christian Laettner, then I can understand the hating on me. ”

I really looked forward to the opportunity to play for the Timberwolves. I went up there and gave it my all. I fell in love with the city and the people up there, even to the extreme where I met my wife up there. ”
