ORLANDO -- As he was leaving Amway Arena Sunday night after his best game as an NBA player, J.J. Redick was serenaded by fans on his way to the parking lot."Go Blue Devils. Go Blue Devils,'' was the chant he kept hearing on his walk out. It only made him smile more.
It certainly was a good, good night for the Dookies.
At almost the same time that storied Duke University returned to the NCAA Final Four for the first time in six years, one of its most celebrated alums was having a wonderful night of his own.
Redick, whose NBA assent has been a slow, often-frustrating climb, must have thought he was back in college again. It has been years since he played like this.
"This was a very satisfying night,'' he understated. "One of the best of my career.''
Redick, now in his fourth NBA season, had career highs in minutes played (46:25), rebounds (7) and assists (8), also scoring 23 points to lead the Magic to a 103-97 victory over the Denver Nuggets.
