Sebastian Telfair: 'The Knicks lost a billion dollars not having me on the team'
Sebastian Telfair: The Knicks lost a billion dollars not having me on the team. I’d get half of a 'Linsanity' run at the Knicks—whatever they made with Jeremy, I’d have made half of that. And I was begging too. I was like, ‘Y’all, come get me.’ They were like, ‘We just had your cousin, bro.’ Yeah. No, I’m not lying. That was their response: ‘We just had your cousin.’ I was over there like, ‘Bro, y’all got Chris Duhon over there, and y’all ain’t gonna give me some burn?’
Redick has always been “a connector” as McConnell calls it, able to bridge gaps between people. “When we were in college, he got big into rapping and writing rhymes,” Redick’s former Duke and Magic teammate Chris Duhon recalled. Duhon and Redick would freestyle rap together with their Duke teammates. Redick would imitate his favorite rapper Eminem, out-rhyming Duhon and the others. “He wasn’t bad,” Duhon laughs. “He was decent.” Redick has a long list of passions. He started writing poetry in junior high. He’s a big fan of Hemingway. He has at various times become obsessed with high-end watches, wine, and golf. He has taught himself how to rise to the top of the NBA media sphere and build a podcast empire. “It goes to show you how smart he was and how creative his mind is,” Duhon said. “He knows how to relate to people.” “He’s a smart guy with a lot of interests, so he can talk about a lot of things,” said Van Gundy. “He cared about his teammates. It wasn’t all basketball all the time.”
Former Duke star Chris Duhon, 40, is the new boys basketball coach at Gaston Christian School. Duhon, a McDonald’s All-American in high school, was a point guard for the Blue Devils from 2000-04. After college, Duhon was a second-round draft pick by the Chicago Bulls and played in the NBA from 2004-13 for the Bulls, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers.

Bryant University men's basketball head coach Jared Grasso has announced the addition of Chris Duhon, Doug Niblock and Justin Kennedy to his coaching staff for the 2021-22 season. Duhon will serve as the Director of Scouting and Video Analysis.
Tabbed for this role by Kiki VanDeWeghe, the NBA’s executive vice president of basketball operations, Boylen began preparation several weeks ago. He’s a veteran of running clinics, having done so in the past for the league in various Basketball Without Borders trips and the like. Boylen’s preparation culminated with training camp-like meetings on Sunday and Monday with the coaching staff, which includes former NBA and WNBA players in the league’s coaches development program plus current G League coaches. Former Bulls Donyell Marshall and Chris Duhon are among that group, as is former Bulls assistant coach Karen Stack Umlauf.

Ironically, Courtney Lee’s costly T came on a night he set a franchise record for consecutive made free throws, breaking Chris Duhon’s record of 44. He got the record and possibly an NBA fine for a rant that included his belief that officiating nowadays has turned for the worse. Lee claimed referees are more sensitive, noting the amount of technical fouls he’s gotten already compared to the four he had for his career coming into the season. “If you’re going to get a technical when both are talking to each other and not talking to you, it’s a double tech in that situation,’’ Lee said. “If both of us are talking, it has nothing to do with you. No violent talk. No cuss words were even said. I don’t know what’s going on. It’s different now. I really appreciate [retired] guys like Joey Crawford, Monty McCutcheon, Dick Bavetta. You appreciate those guys. I’m at a loss for words.’’
Al Iannazzone: Courtney Lee just tied the all-time Knicks' record for consecutive free throws made. He's hit 44 in a row, matching Chris Duhon.
You had a certain flair with your body movement when making certain calls and it sometimes went viral on social media. Did you realize you were doing a little extra sometimes and why? Crawford: The one that I hit on social media, the one with Chris Duhon, I screwed the play up. I am calling a block and it was an offensive foul from here to Poughkeepsie. And I should have called an offensive foul, and I get surprised by the play and I said to myself, "Well I am going to try this." And I start going ba-boom! Ba-boom! Ba-boom! I am skipping out all the way to midcourt and maybe I can sell it this way and the next day, I get a phone call from the office: "Joe, we don't want you doing that."
