Some of the many questions that this book answers include: • Who played the most minutes in a Duke uniform? • Who are the three brothers who all played for NCAA championship teams at Duke? • What is the greatest individual defensive performance in Duke history? • Which Duke player’s father was a U.S. Olympic medalist in track and field? • Who was the first Duke player to be named National Player of the Year?
