J.J. Redick is still hated in Chapel Hill

Posted Apr 26, 2010
Even though he graduated from Duke five years ago and now plays for the Orlando Magic, J.J. Redick might still be the most unpopular person in these parts since those no-good federal revenuers came down 100 years ago to destroy North Carolina's moonshine stills. Redick may have played college ball at nearby Duke University, but Dookies up here are looked upon as outsiders — the rich, spoiled, private school elitists. (Orlando Sentinel)
