If these overpriced athletes can continue to play something like a team, they will continue to win. So far they have kept their enormous egos in check enough to create some minimal team cohesion. I fear that the minute someone decides he's not getting enough minutes or the ball enough, the whole delicate patchwork of a team will explode. Please, players, just take care of business and forget about your endorsement deals.

I'm justly proud of our BB team. It's the greatest of all time...Keep up the great work!!! Redeemed already...

I am not too worried about one player trying to take over and let his ego get in the way. I have been watching Duke Basketball for the last 13 years and the reason I started to like Duke was because of Coach K. He has had several stars and All Americans(including Boozer) but has always got his teams to work well together. This last college season was incredible because he had a very small team but all of his starters were averaging over 10 points a game and the leading scorer was only at 16 a game but the team was averaging in the 80's. He knows how to get guys(even ones with egos) to work as a team and to put themselves in a position to win every game. He is one of the greatest coaches of all time and I am not worried about this team not playing as a team because he is too good to let it happen
