One more post about Duke basketball and I will let it rest until next season. J.J. Redick will go down in history as one of the best players in Duke history. In addition to all the "Duke" records he broke as a player, he also won "best player" of the year awards galore. I admire him not just because of his talent, but he also has great character and is not ashamed to let people know that he is a Christian. Maybe you did not know this, but he quotes scripture in his mind before every free throw. I just hope he gets a chance to play in the NBA next year. I think he has a lot of the same "moves" as Michael Jordan, but Mikey was 6'6" and JJ is only 6"4", so time will tell. Just to recap below, here are a few of the awards J.J. won this spring.
