The kid stepped up. He didn't try to hide.

He had the balls to put himself in that position. He made his choice. If it worked Duke wins. Duke had them. Behind the "wall" Duke had an open court. They would have been up by four with 4 or 5 seconds to go. Boozer has my respect. The kid is beating himself up about this. And everybody else who would never want to be in that position and would probably run the other way is also beating the kid up. The kid has my respect. The kid stepped up when called and was a big part of them getting to where they were. And for the lack of a few more inches of elevation he would have been a big part of them getting to the final four. The kid has my respect full stop.
