Lethal Left-handed Fraternity: Best Southpaw Hoopers in NCAA History
Is there any doubt prize prospect Marvin Bagley III is a Nike-sponsored mercenary at Duke? After all, the hired gun is accustomed to one-and-done, having embraced the process multiple times as high schooler in Arizona and California. But Duke, resembling majority of schools of lower learning these days, long ago succumbed to instant-gratification lure of one-and-done players no more interested in quality education than politically-correct #MessMedia is telling an unbiased story.
The Dynasty in Durham will promote all sorts of flashy figures regarding the lethal left-hander, but will the school acknowledge the difference between his SAT score and the average such mark for a Duke freshman? In the aftermath of Bagley's decision to take scholarship away from an authentic student-athlete, a Robert E. Lee statue near the entrance of Duke Chapel was vandalized by campus puke. Wouldn't you love to give these social Al-Not-So-Sharpton/Rhodes scholars a basic quiz on Lee's background to see if any victim-hood tribalism major passes a rudimentary test? The safe-space seeking snowflakes are so full of it; all of the toilets in Durham must be clogged. After "sneaking" Bagley into its performance arts department, the school's "courageous" administration subsequently "expressed its deep and abiding values" (a/k/a pooping in their undies) by removing Lee's statue in the middle of the night. Alumnus Jay Bilas may need to provide comp copies of his book ("Toughness") to scared brass.
Generally, Duke already defaced academic integrity by overdosing on one-and-done recruits. But perhaps Duke's lust will be much more than un-retire All-American Danny Ferry's uniform number (35) to help seduce Bagley. Diehards could replace General Lee with a Bagley statue if he directs the Devils to 35 victories or so; especially if it includes another Final Four while he attends more games than classes in the spring semester before becoming fifth freshman in as many years from Krzyzewskiville among NBA's top three draft choices.
In the political arena, Duke has had its share of "leftist" graduates among the predictably pathetic press and pundits including "crazy commentators" David Brooks (conservative author my #NYSlimes fake-news a__), Seth Davis, David Gergen, Melissa Harris-Perry, Charlie Rose, Howard Wolfson and Judy Woodruff. In the basketball arena, Bagley will continue a recent run of regal left-handers entertaining Cameron Crazies extending from Rodney Hood to Justice Winslow to Luke Kennard. Bagley may compete with fellow lefthander Miles Bridges (Michigan State) for national POY.
Unless nut job covered fact from you with black burka, nearly 90% of humans are right-handed. In a quest to support an exempt-from-criticism minority, right thinkers need to discern where Bagley eventually will rank among premier southpaws in NCAA history. Ditto large and lethal lefty Zion Williamson with the Blue Devils in 2018-19. Using guerrilla or gorilla tactics, leftist lunatics will again claim imaginary racism because the #AudacityofHype isn't included but former Duke All-Americans Johnny Dawkins and Jack Marin are among the following alphabetical list of all-time top 200 to 250 hoop lefties:
