Know what I do when Duke loses? I go to YouTube, and I watch Gerald Henderson dunk over people. (OK, maybe this cure was more effective when, you know, Henderson still wore No. 15 for Duke, but let's not get nitpicky here.) So it was completely fortuitous that I recently ran across Dime's interview with Henderson, in which Gerald Narciso, the interviewer, asked the former Blue Devil about his crazy hops:
Dime:You’ve had some amazing dunks at Duke, like that monster slam against Maryland. Is that your best dunk ever? (Flip Murray, who is sitting in the locker beside Henderson interrupts.)FM: I’m gonna say yeah…I’m definitely gonna say yeah. That’s the one he’s got on his phone.
GH: (laughs) I’ve had a couple of good dunks in my career, but that was definitely my best one.
Duke fans will be excused if they've found their Morphine drip for the afternoon.
