You will get a couple of bites with this troll, and also a like or two from a Kareem fan on the board.

Dookies have never achieved upper echelon greatness in the NBA. They are great college recruits but then are one and done.

That doesn’t necessarily translate to NBA success.

The current best NBA players from UCLA are Russell Westbrook, Jrue Holiday, Zach Levine, and Norman Powell. Westbrook and Holiday will both be out of the league in a few years. You and hermano are just haters who don't know basketball, or just willingly choose to make terrible arguments to troll people.

Why don’t you look up how many NBA champions dookie has produced compared to ucla and unc.

With all that toolbox talent, it’s shocking how little NBA success dookies have had, even through the Coach K years.

Then look yourself in the mirror.

Have we actually explored this thought experiment further? Line em up Kentucky vs Duke. I’m struggling with what Duke has to offer

Off the top of my head the best for Duke would be Grant Hill, Kyrie Irving, Jayson Tatum, and then guys like Elton Brand, Brandon Ingram, Shane Battier, Luol Deng, JJ Redick and Zion.. lol. Then Bobby Hurley, Christian Laetner, and Trajan Langdon. I cant think of any more.

Carlos Boozer?

May be the hardest dookie to ever get squeezed out of the program.

Everyone else has been a soft dookie.

I think it’s the nature of the dookie - pampered and coddled since childhood.

Cooper Flagg is probably a good kid. The only bad decision he has ever made in life was deciding to become a blue donkey.

Ah yes. How could I forget Boozer?

There have been more beavers (OSU) and gophers (MN) who have won rings than Dookie alumni.

Heck, even NYU has more alumni who have won rings than dookies.

Doesn’t that tell you something?

Not worrying about Duke. Kentucky has had far more success in the NBA than them, and outside of one player in Jordan (UNC) tell me a program that matches up to them in terms of NBA first rounders, All Stars, titles… Their list of players currently in the NBA is absurdly abundant.

Kentucky is strong, but the school with the most nba rings is UCLA.

Harvard and Army used to be college football powerhouses back in the day, and UCLA has not done much in the last 30-40 years last I checked.

They don’t recruit as well as they use to, but Duke is still the best and they still have very little to show for it.

I actually know the answer, he wore it in high school and his mom wore it in high school too,(and a teammate friend of hers in college wore it who died young).

The current starting 5's and benches for Duke and Kentucky blow everyone else away.

One dude on the anti-Duke side of argument in this thread made the statement that Europe produces the most NBA talent. While that's true, he actually proved my point for me. It takes not just a European country, but an entire CONTINENT to rival the amount of current number NBA players and level of talent that Duke currently produces. Then hater trolls like hermano are resorting to ancient NBA/college history and Michael Jordan to make a case for UCLA and UNC.

UCLA is no longer the college talent pipeline that it once was even 10-20 years ago. Forget about the UCLA Wooden/Alcindor dynasty era that existed before the 3-point line and when conferences were only allowed to have one college team eligible per major conference for the NCAA tournament.

UNC is a joke of a college for producing NBA talent currently. Harrison Barnes and Coby White are their best active alumni.

I'll give you a Duke starting 5 and bench since you're feigning ignorance when it comes to Duke's elite current NBA talent.

Kyrie Irving
Jayson Tatum
Paolo Banchero
Jalen Johnson
Cooper Flagg

Zion Williamson
Brandon Ingram
Kon Knueppel
RJ Barrett
Grayson Allen
Tre Jones
Mark Williams
Wendell Carter Jr.

Those are just the guys who are regular NBA starters. And if you consider Kyrie and Tatum to be injured and want to replace them in the starting 5, slide in Zion and Ingram or Knueppel and you still have a nasty starting 5 team with everyone averaging close to 20 points per game or above.

No college except for Kentucky has that level of NBA talent currently playing. And if you want to say Kentucky is better, it would still be damn close between the 2 schools.

It was probably the one floating around Facebook the last few days. Dude posted it like 50 times

I will believe it’s paid for when I see a receipt

Don’t get wrong… I want one… but there will be a billion soon

I know there are also a billion Wemby Prizm PSA 10’s but I’ll take 4 of those over one Flagg because people aren’t patient

Duke and UK both have a lot of players in today's NBA game. But in terms of productivity, UK guys have accomplished a lot more. It's not even that close.
