Duke Photo Day Stuns, & Scheyer Speaks About His Future
Duke Basketball released video of the team photo session on Friday, and it has caused quite a stir – understandably. When you see this video of the photo session, one thing is immediately obvious: Duke is a huge team, but he looks kind of small here. The back row features Maxime Meyer (#15), Cameron Williams […]

YouTube Gold: Young Magic Johnson
It wasn’t like Magic Johnson came out of nowhere. In his senior year in high school, Johnson, along with Albert King, who picked Maryland, and Gene Banks, who chose Duke, was one of the top three players, at least according to Street & Smith’s annual basketball magazine. Johnson would choose Michigan State, and by his […]

ACC Players Taken In The Last Two NBA Drafts
Those who make their living evaluating basketball players’ talents and skills presumably have some idea of what they’re talking about. (Most of them, anyway.) That expertise would seem a prerequisite among NBA decision-makers, which is why former players who learned the game at Duke under Mike Krzyzewski (Elton Brand, Trajan Langdon, Mike Dunleavy Jr., Billy […]
YouTube Gold: The Fosbury Flop
The 1968 Olympics in Mexico City were memorable for a number of reasons. The U.S. basketball team, lacking stars like Lew Alcindor (now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes, and Bob Lanier, won gold anyway. Bob Beamon set a shocking new record in the long jump, surpassing the old record by 1 foot, 9.75 inches. […]
Stanford Game Preview
Duke (2-0, 0-0) hosts Stanford (1-1, 0-1) on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. EDT in Wallace Wade Stadium in the Blue Devil’s Atlantic Coast Conference opener. Stanford lost its conference opener against Miami. Television coverage will be provided by The CW, and Duke opened as a 9.5 point-favorite. Head Coach Manny Diaz stated during his […]
Duke Recruiting: Three Updates
This article from Yahoo! has some updates on three Duke targets. First, Lewis Uvwo. As we saw at Peach Jam, while his offensive game needs work, Uvwo, with a 7-7 wingspan, has immense defensive potential. He averaged 6 blocks per game in North Augusta, and while yes, those player are still in high school, that’s […]
Will Wade & Eric Musselman Are Making Trouble For Themselves
Two interesting national stories to pay attention to, with one at LSU, and one in Los Angeles. At LSU, Will Wade apparently still intends to roster former St. John’s forward RJ Luis, in defiance of the SEC and commissioner Greg Sankey. After what we just saw with the SEC basically willing to ditch LSU over […]
YouTube Gold: South Carolina’s 1971 ACC Tournament Miracle
When Frank McGuire went to South Carolina in 1964, he was returning to the ACC, where he had coached UNC to the 1957 National Championship. That team was 32-0 and won both Final Four games in triple overtime, including the championship over Kansas and Wilt Chamberlain, which is, in our opinion, the greatest performance in […]
DBR Podcast #847 – Stanford Preview & Football NIL Estimates

Chairmen Of The Boards
Duke has never been a prolific producer of ACC rebounding leaders, managing just eight in the league’s nearly 75-year existence. That made Cameron Boozer’s performance last season even more remarkable. Combining polish, patience, power, and positioning, the 6-9, 250-pound freshman gathered 10.24 rebounds per outing, tops in the ACC in 2026. The last Blue Devil […]
Kyrie Irving, Jayson Tatum Address Duke’s Team
We’ve linked to a couple of videos recently of Duke greats like Paolo Banchero, Amile Jefferson, Jared McCain, Jayson Tatum, and Kyrie Irving coming back to Duke to play with this year’s team. We’ve talked a bit about how useful they are to the younger guys, and how they can measure their progress against some […]
YouTube Gold: Wes Unseld Was A Problem
Wes Unseld is somewhat overlooked today, and that’s a shame. The Louisville native had a tremendous career at his hometown school, averaging 20.6 ppg and 18.9 rpg for his varsity career (freshmen were not eligible at the time) Drafted in 1968, he was brilliant in the NBA as well. In the NBA, despite being just […]

Our apologies for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience while we try to resolve it. Go to the DBR […]
Scheyer On Why He Stayed At Duke
CBS posted an article about Jon Scheyer on Monday discussing why he turned down the Dallas Mavericks job this a few months ago. Basically, Scheyer said a couple of things: first, that Duke was home, and second, that he hadn’t accomplished the things he set out to do when he took the job: “Anybody that […]
More Practice Video With The Brotherhood
Duke Basketball released some more video of the Brotherhood players who are in town and are scrimmaging with the current Blue Devils. This time, though we may have missed someone, we see Jayson Tatum, Kyrie Irving, Paolo Banchero, and cheering from the sideline, Dereck Lively. As Caleb Foster explained the other day, it’s not really […]
YouTube Gold: Maurice Stokes
One of the great early NBA players barely had a career. Maurice Stokes entered the league in 1955, and was an immediate sensation. This video argues that he was the first positionless player – and in the late 1950s. Stokes, who put St. Francis on the map in college, was 6-7, around 230 pounds, and […]
DBR Podcast #846 – Champaign Victory And The Full Schedule Arrives!

The DBR Podcast crew breaks down an impressive outing that began with the Nate Train rumbling for big yards and ended with the defensive secondary making big plays to seal the win. As Manny […]
U.S. Crushes France, Wins Gold In Women’s FIBA World Cup
Team USA fell behind France by 14 in the first half of the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup gold-medal game on Sunday, and was down 45-43 at the half, but it didn’t matter. The U.S. blew France out in the third quarter, 30-12, and ended up winning by 18, 97-79. They also vindicated Duke and […]

YouTube Gold: Kenny Dennard On Bill Foster
For a lot of Blue Devil fans, basketball started in 1980 when Duke hired Mike Krzyzewski. That’s not true, obviously. The late Al Featherston was a real historian of Duke Basketball, and basketball in Durham, too. He wrote a lot of wonderful pieces for us about both. One of the great, if brief, eras of […]
Duke Recruiting: Adan Diggs Cuts His List
Adan Diggs, a Top Ten recruit, has cut his list down to seven. Duke and UNC are both on the list, as are Arkansas, Kentucky, Kansas, Southern Cal, and Arizona. A 6-4 combo guard, Diggs has modeled his game on Devin Booker and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He’s a very promising player, but Arizona is seen as […]
