This is in relation to how the media can totally slurp kids up and getting on your nerves. There's no question in his 4 years at Duke the media totally made Redick into a demi-god. And hell...he was a terrific player. One of the best releases I've ever seen, and he was slippery when getting off picks. He hit alot of game altering shots. Hell he's the alltime ACC scoring leader.

I'd argue most of the hate leveled against him was because he played for Duke.

Tyler Hansbrough on North Carolina is maybe the most canonized figure we've seen since. I mean the media LOVES this kid. And yes, he's a TREMENDOUS player. Unreal at times. But sometimes the slurping up the media does is borderline ridiculous. Did Jay Bilas just say this evening that MICHAEL JORDAN DIDN'T OUT COMPETE Tyler Hansbrough?? MICHAEL JORDAN???

Love him or hate him(and I hated him) - Jordan was without a doubt the most intense competitor I've ever seen in a team sport.

WTF.

If Tyler played for Duke people would be bombing ESPN and CBS for the kinds of stuff people are saying(and have said in the last 3 years) about this kid.

Hansbrough > God + Alcindor + Jordan + Chamberlain + Walton + name your alltime college player
