Really hate seeing Zion hurt like that, he’s a generational talent.

The karma is the Nike shoe money brought Zion to Duke and the Nike shoes may have ended his season...

Not sure I understand. Did the failure of the shoe cause the injury? Did not see it.

Yes, that’s exactly what happened.

Nike failed tonight big time.

It definitely contributed

PR nightmare.

PR nightmare.

No doubt.

PUMA basketball tweeted out

“Wouldn’t have happened if he were wearing Pumas.”

Worse look IMO. Classless

Nike has been circumventing NCAA rules to get players to Nike schools (UK and Duke). This is an epic failure for Nike...

Is Zion the lifeblood of the team? Seems they aren’t inspired at all

#1 doesn’t look so hot without their player. Granted, UNC is no slouch, but I’d expect #1 to keep on going at home. They’re a bench full of 4 and 5 stars, right?

UNC will take the air out of the ball. Duke has to extend the game and get to the line and force a few to’s

That dude acted like he just got shot in the face

 

[C/O]

That was not flagrant

A soccer shoe?

That was a pretty vicious elbow to the eye

Lulz...don’t know of any NBA players wearing Puma other than Walt Frazier 45 years ago.

I know. Like he took a bullet to the face. Looked like a villain getting shot in an old James Bond movie

 

[Sin City Vol]

And what a crazy injury. I’ve never seen a shoe blow up before.
I’m sure someone will blame Trump for it.

I played ball in HS with a guy who had ridiculous hops. He blew out like 3 pairs that year, he couldn’t shoot for $$$$ but was crazy quick and explosive

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Barrett is maddening at times to watch...he had a guy open on the right wing, but attacks the basket, gets fouled and misses the first FT.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

No excuses. UNC was just better . Duke just didn’t have it. Made that slapdick Luke Maye and eyebrows look unstoppable

Duke made up for its poor shooting by not rebounding or making stops on those rare occasions when they did make shots.

Marvin Bagley, Michael Porter and Deandre Ayton

One of the most pleasing things in sports...watching Dook lose at home
