HOW HE REMEMBERS IT
“The last idea coach (Rick) Pitino told us was don’t foul. I be duty-bound to have gone for the good buy, but I wasn’t forceful enough. Once Laettner caught it I was manufacture sure I didn’t foul. We positively didn’t want to put him on the free-throw line. I don’t agree he missed a shot or a free throw (Laettner finished 10 of 10 from the ground and 10 of 10 from the free-throw line) the whole game. He got a uncontaminated look and it was a pronounced shot. He the tribute.
“I get roughly speaking it all the time, especially since I live in Kentucky. When people find out that I played at Kentucky they ask during what yonks. I just ask if they remember the Laettner shot and they know what I’m deliberation just about starboard away. Everybody wants to tell you where they were when they watched the shot.
“I’ve never the game and I don’t meditate more or less it, but during March Madness it’s impossible to pay no attention to. The shot always seems to get during the game. I’ll get vaultedSynonyms round it and people will want to talk of the order of it all over once more.
