How often does your shot against Kentucky come up in conversation between you and Coach Pitino?

Christian Laettner

  (2:44 PM)

(laughing) Well we worked together last week for three hours and we talked about the shot for about 2 1/2 of those three hours.

what was it like playing in a crazy arena like cameron indoor?

Christian Laettner

  (2:45 PM)

It was and is the greatest atmosphere to play in. If you what the whole college basketball experience you have to go to a game at Cameroon Indoor!

What means more to you, winning the natinal championship or winning a gold medal?

Christian Laettner

  (2:47 PM)

I would say winning the two National Champions because I was a bigger part of those teams. The Olympics in '92, I didn't contribute that much. I had more to do with winning the National Championships than I did the gold medal.

Ike (Sioux City, IA)

Good afternoon Christian. Do you have any aspirations to get into coaching basketball at any level?

Christian Laettner

  (2:48 PM)

I do. When I'm older and my children have grown up, I would like to coach in the NBA. Hopefully that can happen within the next five to 10 years.

What factors made you such an intense and successful competitor at the college level?

Christian Laettner

  (2:50 PM)

That's a good question! I had an older brother that would beat me in everything and then he would rub my nose in it and that made me work even harder. Also Coach K is very good at getting his players ready to play at a high level every night.

Chris (Omaha,NE) [via mobile]

Do you think Memphis is rated to high for playing in such a soft conference?

Christian Laettner

  (2:51 PM)

No I don't. I think they have a great team and a great coach!

George (raliegh, NC) [via mobile]

Who is your favorite player to watch at Duke?

Christian Laettner

  (2:52 PM)

Right now it's Gerald Henderson. He's so explosive and athletic.

Jordan: (union city CA) [via mobile]

Who is your favorite NBA player right now and why?

Christian Laettner

  (2:53 PM)

That's a hard question. I would say Dwight Howard and LeBron James because they dominate the game so much.
