I’m sure if she did, it will be brought up soon since that will help substantiate her claims. I would imagine that she has her story floating around out there closer to when it happened.

Duke only has 6,000 undergrads and rumors get around fast. I would be surprised if she was called the N word by JJ and someone in the black community never heard about it so I will wait to see if anyone that was on campus corroborates her story. I say this as a Duke alum who was on campus during part of JJ’s time and I never heard this rumor, but it definitely could have happened because he was a dick in college.

Edit: nevermind, she was apparently in grad school at Duke so this rumor may not have made it to the black undergrad population even if it happened.

I heard no rumor around campus of JJ saying anything like this before 2003. If so I guarantee the black students would have crucified him…or staged a sit in to protest him being on the team. That said, JJ was around a couple more years after that so maybe?

Yeah that’s my attitude as well. I don’t want to doubt her but this just never came up when I was in undergrad. It doesn’t mean she’s lying, she would have been in her early 20s at this time and I understand that she may not have wanted to go public with her experience….but…it’s such a small community that I would assume she told at least ONE of her classmates or friends that the star college basketball player called her the N word.
