Not Shocking That Coach K Pissed Tyler Hansbrough Off With An Idiotic Statement After He Got His Face Bashed In (BONUS: His Top-5 Hated Duke Players)

Needless to say the visual of Tyler Hansbrough getting his face bashed in is an iconic picture in the Duke/UNC rivalry. Every time these teams play this picture is shown:

What I forgot about is K calling Henderson the victim. Classic K. Classic asshole. Just refusing to acknowledge his guy took an elbow and bashed the face of Hansbrough and was ejected. Refs had it out for him. Hansbrough's face caused Henderson's arm to hurt a little bit. 

What's actually shocking is finding myself nodding along with Hansbrough. Real pickle I found myself in during this interview. It's not like I ever enjoyed Hansbrough. I hate UNC. I hate Duke. This is what happens when your dad goes to Wake Forest and you go to Kentucky. But I respect the fact you can tell he still has this pissed off anger towards Henderson and K. Good! I keep screaming it but it's sports. You're not supposed to like your rival. It's probably why he had no problem rattling off his 5 most hates players. 

Good job sneaking Henderson in there. The fact is there are almost too many Duke players to hate. It's tough coming up with 5. I think my list would be:

5. Cherokee Parks

4. Grayson Allen

3. Wojo 

2. Christian Laettner

1. JJ Redick

The list is truly endless.
