Christian Laettner

If Christian Laettner isn't at the top of your Duke GOAT list, then you must've missed the 90s. The guy was a walking, talking Duke Blue Devil highlight reel. Remember 'The Shot' against Kentucky? Classic Laettner—clutch with a capital 'C'. And let's not forget every UNC fan's favorite pastime: loathing him. It’s almost like he was born to make Tar Heel fans weep. Love him or hate him, debating his place among Duke legends is like arguing pizza toppings at 2 AM—messy, passionate, and absolutely essential.
