So the series on ESPN titled "Earn Everything" about this year's team is available for streaming today. I am only one episode in, but this year's team looks like a lot of fun. Thought we could get a thread started on the series and your thoughts about each episode.
Earn Everything
- Thread starter DukeRev
- Start date
First impression....the crazy amount of resources that these kids have access to is amazing. The bond between some of the returning players was awesome to see. The new players appreciation of the history and brotherhood was genuine and that should bode well for a team that plays for the name on the uniform. Oh, and the staff have a great bond too.....led by a great leader Coach K
Haha me too. Once I started I couldn’t stop. Loved hearing Alex and some of the other kids tell funny coach K stories.
That part where they were talking about coach K and his favorite word "YO" had me cracking up.
some folks are gonna be complaining
.......funny how many complained about the nike commercial featuring duke and the cavs and little did they forget that they had one very similar under the jordan brand......i hope this espn+ series carries over to other programs, but if not, thats ok too

got to pony up the 4.99 or use the free trial if not already used for the canada games........or diff sign up info?
Was interesting to hear K say something like “you guys dove for more loose balls this practice than we did all of last season.” Really seems like everyone’s attitudes are in the right place.
That really should tell every Duke fan all they need to hear about that team last season.
Hope this one doesn't disappoint in the effort department.
K told the kids in Canada they could be one of his best defensive teams.
Finished up the latest episode. These kids have a great chemistry. The access dispells the myth that players dont work hard in practice....no way to hide with all the eyes and video on them. No way the other players let you coast either. Whats with Goldwire wearing his shorts so high? This makes me excited for the season and also gives the perspective that they are still kids! Lets go Duke! ( to quote Mr Williams)

The look on Zions face when K mentions about telling Kobe you will get stand still 3's cause Lebron and others are out there too. You can see him soaking that up. When RJ is shoving Zion around and then Zion was like ok lets do this again and about sends RJ into another zip code, hilarious. Hearing Cam talk about finally opening up. He's the silent type and watching K bring him out and get him to start talking is a fun thing to watch. I like seeing the chemistry happening, seems really solid this season. "Austrailian Spanish" LOL. Coach K taking advice from Nolan. GOOD STUFF.
Best so far though, the way they all describe Zions ability and body. When he was doing the jump testing, that video is amazing. They couldn't make it high enough to measure his damn jump!!! They had to set the device up on weights to get it high enough? LOL WOW!
And with that, I think I hear the whimpers again all the way from Lexington.....
After watching a few episodes of this, I have a feeling that Scheyer is going to make a great coach someday. He seems to play a bigger role with the program that I was aware.
My thoughts as well. After watching all 6 episodes, I wouldn't rule out the slight possibility of Scheyer having a chance to be the next Duke coach. Highly unlikely, but again, I wouldn't rule it out.
Jon seems to have a certain way to connect with these kids off and on the court. Watching him do drills with the team was great, he's basically another player out there.
The players seem like they enjoy hanging with one another. Def seems like Zion and R.J. have a bond going as do Cam and Tre, as well as Javin and Jack.
I would take Jon as coach in a second. I have unlimited faith in that young man.
John going to eventually get his opportunity one day. I am really curious to see where Duke turns when K finally ends his legendary career. I will be watching pitt and see how Capel does with a program thats has nowhere to go but up. Alot has been made about what happened at Oklahoma, but put aside an assistant that kept making mistakes with no findings that Capel knew, Capel had alot of success in a sort time there.
We all know his recruiting prowess and his ability to relate to players is top notch. I think he can also be an excellent X's and O's guy as well.
The beginning of episode 4 cracks me up. Talking about Zion and the comment that he's been making viral highlights for a few years now at the expense of other people's children. Lmbo, that is too funny and the truth at the same time.
John, Capel and C Well will be in the race. It’ll be interesting to see if Wojo and Chris are approached. I don’t see Amaker or JD, but maybe. I’d love to see Shane on someone’s staff, though he like Christian have said they’d coach only in the league if offered.
I had no idea this was even being made so thanks for the thread. Definitely have to check it out this weekend!
It's showing on my ESPN plus. When I click on the earn everything ad, it shows each one off to the right hand side.
I was literally thinking that while watching Zion chatting with a nutritionist about having meals specifically curated for his unique needs while having an ultrasound (?) on his leg like it was just a totally normal day at the office.
Zion ate episode 6. If you wait 24 hrs., you’ll see it again, but there may be some compression issues.
