Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jayson Tatum recently caught up with his former college coach from his time with the Duke Blue Devils basketball program when they came to town to play a local team, the Boston College Eagles, and found himself the focus of a pregame speech by his former mentor and legendary NCAA head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
Holding up Tatum’s time at Duke and what he has done since with his amenable reaction to being coached hard, Coack K — as Krzyzewski is called as a nickname — encouraged his current players to follow the example of the St. Louis native in their own role for the team and moving forward in life if they want to truly help their team.
It’s an inspiring speech (and Coach K even gets in a Deuce joke) you should check out yourself, so we have done you the solid and embedded it below for your viewing pleasure, courtesy of the Duke Men’s Basketball Twitter account.
The best always want to get better.
