At the Duke Charity game last night, Juan was one of the NBA players invited. When introduced, the Duke crowd gave him a standing ovation and a huge applaud.

If that isn't class right there, I have no earthly idea what is.

You guys may hate Coach K and think Duke fans are classless but your beloved Juan obviously doesn't think so.

"It was a surprise," he said. "They have a lot of respect for me, and I have a lot of respect for them. It was a great experience. When Coach K invited me to come down, I had no second thoughts."

touche (just imagine the little accent at the end...I'm on the laptop right now. lol)

Seriously tho'...the "classless bottle-throwing fans" are a small minority of Maryland students...even though they ARE the ones that get all the press. *sigh* Maroons... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Sure the students didn't show up in their usual numbers, but I would bet that at least 70% of the people in the seats were cameron regulars.

I meant the students, i.e. the "crazies"
