not the best but toughest ever to play at Duke. Here's mine.
1. Bobby Hurley . Seen him take some of the hardest screens and cheapest shots then get up and play harder. There will never be another one and never be anyone to compare to him.
2. Art Heyman. Not just because of the Larry Brown fight but just because he was the toughest son of a gun on the court and every knew it.
3. Kyle Singler. Saw more blood on him than any Dukie that played for Duke. Could dish it out as well as he could take it and with that grin on his face. That's how I remember him.
4. Wojo. Everyone's target. Everyone wanted to knock the crap out of him. He like Hurley just got back up and kept at it.
5. Mike Lewis. A little before most of the posters of DI's time. Mike was 6'8" true center and that was probably stretching it a little but no one and I mean no one pushed him around in fact he moved everyone else out. No one picked on our little guys because they would have to deal with Mike.
I have two guys I need to mention for honorable mention. Chris Collins or "Chrissy" to the troll heels. Remember Collins getting up in matt dohtery's face when he thought he should be part of Duke's bench. Enough said. And this guy is still there and I feel will prove to the basketball world that he is tough this year and that's Greyson Allen. He's gonna get elbowed, scratched, grabbed, punched and even maybe tripped this year. He's a marked man and probably will be watched like a hawk by the refs this year even to a point where one of them will watched him the whole game. I'm not denying he brought this on himself but if he keeps his wits about him and controls his emotion and goes out and let's his talent get retaliation then he moves to the top of my list. OFC
