The All New Duke Basketball Museum

The Duke Basketball Alumni Group (D-BAG) is pleased to announce the grand opening of its Duke Basketball Museum. Come and enjoy authentic basketball history, including the following exhibits:

Christian's Spectrum - view Christian Laettner's historic 1992 Regional Final game winner against Kentucky in hi definition, over . . . and over . . . and over again! The Duke Museum is the only location that proudly replays the shot more times per day than CBS sports! Relive the emotions as we show you never before seen camera angles of Thomas Hill crying and dropping to the floor like a spastic moron. Listen as Christian pats himself on the back for catching, dribbling twice, and shooting over an eight-inch shorter defender.

New for 2010: eighteen digit electronic display continuously tracks the number of times this shot is replayed on national television!

Virtual flop machine - experience the feeling first hand! Our virtual flop machine allows you, the Duke fan, to step into the shoes of a true Blue Devil player doing what they do best. Simply fall down and listen with pride as a genuine game official's whistle blows, followed by the sudden appearance of a mindless mannequin in black and white striped garb, with hand clasped behind head!

New for 2010! The Jon Scheyer offensive virtual flop machine. A simple concept -- take a shot, extend leg, and fall down. Our offensive virtual flop machine then sounds the official's whistle and automatically carries you to the free throw line. Incredibly authentic!

Coach K's coaching tree - review photos and bios of the many disciples of Coach K who went on to head coaching positions. Try to guess the one K disciple who has managed to coach a program without being fired or resigning amid scandal! (Hint - he's the one who did not play for Coach K. . .)

Cheap Shot Alley -watch with nostalgic awe as we replay classic Duke action, from Dahntay Jones breaking Justin Gray's jaw, to Dahntay slicing open Raymond Felton's chin, to Sean Dockery shoving Tyler Hansbrough's face, to Christian bloodying Eric Montross' head, (twice in one game) - all with nary a foul called! Truly incredible!

Easy Street - come relive the easiest road to a national championship in the history of American sport. Watch endless replays of our team rolling through one significantly lower seeded team after another, before squeaking by a fifth-seeded Butler team, whose sole big man was saddled with foul trouble from the opening minutes.

Kobe's Corner - We all know that Kobe would have gone to Duke if he had gone to college, so come admire Kobe's accolades, including NBA titles, and pretend with us that Duke and Coach K had something to do with them.

The Zebras' Den - No monument to Duke basketball history is complete without a collection of some of the more notable officials' calls. Relive classic Duke memories, such as Jon Scheyer's elbow to the head of a Baylor player resulting in a technical foul call against Baylor. Watch with incredulous awe as game officials convert 1.8 seconds into 4.2- just enough time for the length-of-the-court game winning play at Clemson. Think you know which player will get ordered to the bench after Dahntay Jones splits Raymond Felton's chin open? The answer will amaze you.

Coming in 2011 - The 10^th anniversary celebration of the 2001 Final Four in which the refs single-handedly reversed Maryland's semifinal domination and gift-wrapped the title game against Arizona.

Media Mythology - Narrated by Dick Vitale, relive the bogus hype that has built Coach K into the purported legend that he is. Listen to original audio footage of such classic lines as "He could coach the US bobsled team to a gold medal!" and "They should hire him to coach the Duke football team." You are guaranteed to leave this exhibit honestly believing that Coach K built the Duke basketball dynasty from a virtual nothingness, even as he took the reins of a Regional finalist team only two years removed from the National championship game.

International Room - See where your favorite Duke star played professionally and test your knowledge of world geography all at once. From Casey Saunders' tour in Sweden to Greg Koubek's time in Bulgaria, you'll smile with pride at Duke's endless international connections.

Blue Devil gift shop - Stocked with the classic Duke fan in mind, you'll find a complete selection of every Duke sweatshirt and baseball cap that Wal-Mart has ever sold. Blue Devils mud-flaps, belt buckles, and an assortment of hunting gear await.
