Like most people I tuned in to watch the “Fab 5″ 30 For 30 special on ESPN last night and like most people I just sat there and wondered why Chris Webber was too cool for school. But lost in this celebration of a team most ESPN viewers are too young to remember was the above wonderful clip of the former Michigan players giving their thoughts on America’s least favorite team, the Duke Blue Devils. I really enjoyed this 30 For 30 edition, because we so rarely get to see Eric Montross highlights these days, but 1) I’m down for anything that makes fun of Christian Laettner and B) I could listen to people call Grant Hill a bitch for the rest of my life.
Call me a filthy Orlando Magic homer all you want, but Hill’s tenure in Orlando was grand theft, so anytime I listen to someone make fun of him my ears perk up a little. I’m like a dog getting my butt scratched every time I watch this clip.

Burnsy, your justified hatred of Dook allows me to present you with an honorary Tar Heel basketball degree. May your highly lauded high school recruits never abandon you to the NBA before their junior season.
We’ll always have the 2004-2005 season, Burnsy. We’ll always have that season.
Seriously though, who the fuck signs a player to a massive contract when he needs major ankle surgery? Especially in a sport where ankle usage is important?
Grant Hill might’ve been a bitch, but did he ever have a doll version of himself hang out with Blackstreet?
“…an honorary Tar Heel basketball degree. ”
Enjoy that year-long membership to the “Wine and Cheese of the Month Club”, Burnsy.
Chris Webber may have declined to participate at the urging of his attorney (or maybe he’s still embarrassed about not being able to count to zero). Is he still under indictment for some sort of perjury concerning the booster money?*
*In the form of a question because neither of us needs to get sued.
Excellent hustle on the Dook hate, too.
@OFBCM The booster money thing was my original thought but it’s so much more fun to think that he just doesn’t take Jalen Rose’s phone calls.
I’m more interested in learning why Michigan completely bypassed Greg Ostertag on their recruitment sheets!
@Jmac Did Isiah Thomas stop in to work for the Magic on his way to Boca?
The best single scene was the picture of Grant and Calvin Hill posing in Cosby sweaters. Very high on the Unintentional Comedy Rating.
yeah so when they started chanting “Cosby Show” I thought it was a reference to Grant Hill’s sweaters and how white he was…
Not a Duke fan at all, but isn’t it a little sad to keep calling a guy a bitch 20 years later, specially if the guy did beat you. If these dudes had actually won something, maybe it be a bit less sad.
About the only real contribution these guys made to college ball was getting rid of the John Stockton shorts.
I always saw the fab five as a negative. Webber may not have participated as he is not allowed to have contact with the school. I haven’t watched it b/c I gagged when I saw the promos but I hope it focuses on Ed Martin.
The only positive was the dream team of movie making; Shaq and Nolte teaming up to make the 3rd greatest movie of all time. Still waiting on that sequel fellas.
