No, of course this couldn't be jealosy
Over at Dukebasketballreport.com, they think they've found a reason for Roy Williams to be glad last year's national champions are gone:
In an essay that proves perhaps it in fact is possible to type with the back of one's hand, DBR (which tends to spend a lot of time talking about anything but Duke basketball) again trumps out its claim that Rashad McCants is such a malcontent that UNC is glad he's gone. Of course, that wouldn't explain the pluralization used in the above-quote, I'm assuming Raymond Felton and Sean May aren't the boneheads, and Jackie Manuel's got a posse, so I hope DBR isn't tossing insults at him. They have been aided and abetted by a media that spent three years seeing the young, immature McCants and never once acknowledging his growth - the same media that talked about how the Heels "attitude" problems might stop them from winning it all.
Rashad caused a few more headaches than many a Tar Heel, but his growth over the course of his career was nothing short of remarkable. Perhaps Roy wouldn't have recruited him, and granted unlike J.J. Redick, ESPN hasn't devoted a thirty second spot for him to read his poetry (why am I grateful). But Rashad's improvement as a team player is something that would not have occurred at just about any other program; and I think he repaid in full. And his worth is shown by this never-ending bashing coming from over at UNC-New Jersey. To be hated by the Blue Devils in this petty fashion takes putting them through the hell of seeing Carolina Blue "Champions" shirts at every point. It of course would be rude to comment on how yet again a Dookie is villifying a black Carolina player - for the hardened criminal acts of a few quotes, some unrecovered loose balls, no less- so I won't. (Seeing the world through AP's glasses, my friends?)
This little piece doesn't quite illustrate the blind-hate the DBR has. For that you'd have to go back to an article after Carolina won the regular-season ACC title by beating Duke. With McCants unable to play because of a stomach virus, DBR hypothesized that had McCants and his 18-20 points a game been there, the Heels might have lost.
And how backhanded is the compliment that Roy should have fun this year. They think this years squad will lose to Clemson for the first time ever.
I guess they need to short for lower goals than Fair and Balanced, how bout just chemically-balanced?
Nonetheless, the boneheads are gone, the headcases have left, and what's left is
a young, impressionable team which could be inspired to overcome their
collective limitations.
