the other night, i read a fantastic article in the New York Times Magazine about one of my favorite Duke players of all time*. it’s a great read if you are a fan of basketball, statistics, or just love an alternate take on what most people consider a solved problem: points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals determine whether or not you win the game… right?

( * i have no shame in admitting that i’m a huge Duke fan. i’m not from North Carolina. heck, i’ve never even been there. i just happened to tune into a game when i was 11 years old, using an old radio turned down low so my parents couldn’t hear i was still awake. this was in the days of Hurley, Hill, and Laettner… and i was hooked ever since.)
