I was actually a fan of Duke when I was a kid for two reasons. One, my first stepfather was a semi-close acquaintance of Coach K, and used to tell us how kind he was. And two, the Laettner shot game. That's actually the first college basketball game I have any recollection of, and I still remember it like it was yesterday, despite the fact that I was 7 at the time.
It's fun to hate on Duke now, but I still appreciate the fact that they are the reason I got into college basketball as a kid.
