I’m a huge Duke University basketball fan, also known as a Cameron Crazie. Are you wondering what a Cameron Crazie is? It is a die-hard Duke fan. You’re probably wondering why I like Duke so much. Here’s why: My dad went to Duke, and I’ve liked Duke ever since I was born.
I watch every Duke game. I also go to a Duke game every year either at Barclays Center or Madison Square Garden. In 2015, Duke won the NCAA championship. I knew all the players’ names, hometowns and heights. My favorite players this year are guard Grayson Allen and center Marques Bolden.
If a good Duke player goes to an NBA team, I start liking and following that team. Some examples are Jayson Tatum, who is with the Boston Celtics (I have a Tatum jersey), and Quinn Cook, who is now on the Golden State Warriors.
Wait, one more thing — remember to love Duke!
Fun facts
- Did you know that Kyrie Irving, the Boston Celtics guard, played at Duke?
- Duke has won five championships!
- Mike Krzyzewski (“Coach K”) has been coaching at Duke for 38 years.
