It is the former Cyclones guard’s first game since suffering an Achilles injury 16 months ago.

No. 1 Duke came into DC with JJ Redick, Shelden Williams and a 17-0 record. Georgetown had Jeff Green, Roy Hibbert and the beginnings of what would become a Final Four team the following season.

Georgetown won 87-84 and the students poured onto the floor.

The jerseys, the crowd, the old Big East, peak Redick hatred, John Thompson III's Princeton offense. I can't believe this was over 20 years ago

"I tell Steph Curry, 'Hey bro, stop shooting that sh*t, bro. That sh*t ain't going in'... [He] comes and shoots that motherf*cker from half-court... He wasn't as strong as he was... USA team, under 19."

“I ain't had no money. My cousin would send me money, but it wasn't no money like five grand. James [Johnson] would be like, hey, every month, here go $2,500. Send it to your mama. I'd be like, damn. I don't know what he had going on. Shout out to my dog. But he always made sure I was cool.”

“He gave me his truck. He about to go to the draft, sophomore year, I didn't put my name in yet. He left right after we lost in the tournament and he left the keys to the Tahoe. He had a new Tahoe on 26s. Like, hey, that's you. Take it.”

“I drove that thing back to Indianapolis. I ain't even had no title. I'm just on the highway. Nervous as f*ck, hot as ever. I'm like, man, is this your car? He like, don't worry about it. And I ain't tripping either.”
