Christian Laettner: NCAA Legend and Buzzer Beater King
Unforgettable Buzzer Beaters
Christian Laettner's iconic buzzer-beater against Kentucky in the 1992 Final Four stands as one of the most memorable moments in March Madness history. Watch as Laettner, with seconds remaining on the clock, sinks the game-winning shot to propel Duke to victory.
Early Shot of Brilliance
Two years before his legendary Final Four buzzer-beater, Laettner showcased his clutch gene in the 1990 NCAA Championship. Facing a tough UConn team in overtime, Laettner drained a last-second shot to secure a 79-78 victory for Duke.
A Storied College Career
Laettner's college career was nothing short of remarkable. He holds the distinction of being the only player in history to start in four consecutive NCAA Final Fours. His contributions to Duke's basketball dynasty cannot be overstated.
Controversial Moment
Despite his success, Laettner's career was not without controversy. In the 1991 NCAA Tournament, he was involved in a controversial incident that could have resulted in an ejection. However, he was allowed to continue, leading to accusations of preferential treatment due to Duke's newfound status as college basketball's golden boys.
