A beautiful moment between Jackson, his teammates & the Pacers 🙏

From @TheAthletic: For 40 years, Duke has been college basketball’s most polarizing team. People love to hate Duke.
But has Duke basketball become less hateable? Perhaps, maybe, even likable? https://t.co/Z2jcL2ANjA

I am generally refraining from Jayson Tatum/Jaylen Brown talk but I feel compelled to weigh in here as an exception:
1) Jayson Tatum has been sacrificing for years, so the notion he hasn’t been is completely misguided. Both stars have — and both acknowledged it about the other after the 2024 title (there’s a bunch of clips of Jaylen talking about Jayson’s sacrifice from the Finals)
2) I inherently disagree that a team is “Someone’s.” It feels like a lazy media narrative. It’s Joe Mazzulla’s team if anything, but there’s not this thing of like ‘Oh, you have to make yourself smaller now because this guy is having a great year.’ I don’t get why this because a talking point. He’ll come back and be his best self, provided he’s able to be.
3) There’s about to (again) be two of the NBA’s best players on the same roster. They’ve made 5 ECFs, two Finals, and won a championship together. Why are we still doing this?? This conversation was put to bed years ago! They’ve both been mature! This shouldn’t have legs anymore!
