[bballer]

"0" for his career assist average?

or TO to Assist ratio?

[JellyBean]

ya i hate the number 0 and 00

I hear ya. I hate when players wear numbers like that. I can see them not wearing #1, but #2-#55 I can deal with. Anything else, nah.

I like 0's

But if he's wearing it because of some nickname he made up himself I hope he gets dunked on.

Well, that's not very cocky at all. I think I like him even more after reading that tweet.

In all seriousness, though, this kid could make a run at the "Most Hated dookie of All-Time" crown in his lone year at Duke. And that's saying something since Christian Laetner and J.J. Redick were so deeply loathed, especially by UNC fans. UNC fans, though, already really dislike Rivers and he hasn't even played a game yet.

No, no he won't. Carolina fans'll hate him sure, but c'mon. He'll only be there a year. He won't touch Redick, let alone White Jesus.

I don't know, there's already been plenty of venom spewed forth by people on Inside Carolina. I know that's a small fraction of the fan-base, but he's already pretty hated.

I personally think he'll have to do something pretty drastic this year, though, to approach Redick and Laetner status.
