Christian Laettner taunts Kentucky after Elite Eight heartbreaker

Luke Maye

Christian Laettner still enjoys ripping Kentucky’s heart out, or at the very least, pouring salt in the wound when someone else does.

The Duke icon was even willing to root for North Carolina if it meant knocking Kentucky out of the tournament. Luke Maye did that on Sunday with a dramatic shot, just as Laettner had with Duke 25 years prior — while wearing the same number.

Maye’s game-winner wasn’t quite the famous Laettner shot, but it wasn’t that far off, and the fact that they both wore No. 32 as they blocked Kentucky from the Final Four is just icing on the cake. This probably won’t do anything to make Kentucky fans like Laettner any more.
