Former Duke star Christian Laettner said Thursday that his game-winning shot from the famous 1992 game against Kentucky made him a villain to UK fans. His earlier stomp of UK player Aminu Timberlake was no factor in his supposed villainy, he said. Laettner spoke on a teleconference promoting an Oct. 24 charity game in Rupp Arena pitting former UK players against a group of so-called “Villains” of the program.
