I don't want this to come across as rude or anything, but I'm kind of glad that Grayson has finished his career.
I absolutely loved that kids heart, hustle, and love for Duke, but it was so much drama that came with him.
For some reason, I pulled for him as if he was my son, so if he had a game where he went 2-9 in even a win, I would be bothered. There were so many highs and lows watching him, with the final low his shot yesterday teasing all of us. Some of the joy was gone due to my own weird liking for a kid I've never met, or probably ever will meet.
I'm looking forward to just watching my team play from here on in with no feeling of attachment at all.
I think this may be a good thing for Duke, a fresh start with no distractions, like no booing from the other team when he's doing something as basic as dribbling the ball upcourt. It's been a very weird last 4 years, and I'm sure it's taken it's toll on Coach K as well.
