Its pretty pathetic how hard those two take being apart. The collins grant and lopez brothers have never acted this way. I bet they still sleep in bunk beds during the off season.

What about identical twins with matching tattoos?

That is just irritating.

My little brother got the same tattoo as me way back in the day. I immediately got mine covered up.

I read a Grantland piece about Thomas Robinson awhile back and how the Morris twins (plus their mother) were big mentors in his life after his mom's death. No wonder he hasn't done anything in the league.

Wiggins looks like a player but seriously, a ton of busts come from Kansas.

Seriously, I bet Danny Manning is their second all timer behind Wilt.

I think you could say the same thing about Duke, until very recently (Kyrie Irving and Okafor) at least.

Nah, there have been a decent amount of starting caliber players to come out of Duke (ex. Battier, Luol Deng, Dunleavy Jr., Boozer, Elton Brand).

Meh with Battier and Dunleavy Jr. I'll give you Deng, Brand and maybe Boozer.

But I'd still say when you consider the talent that both programs get... Kansas = Duke.

Battier, Luol Deng, Dunleavy Jr., Boozer, Elton Brand = Chalmers, Hinrich, Gooden, Wiggins, Pearce

And I'd probably argue that Pearce is the best of the bunch.

You're probably right. I just can't apply any sort of rational thought to anything involving kansas. The hate is too deep.
