DURHAM, N.C. ? The Atlantic Coast Conference announced the 2008 Men's Basketball Tournament legends on Monday with former Blue Devil Mike Gminski among 12 named.
Gminski is one of only 23 players in ACC history to have been named first-team All-ACC three times (1978-80). He was a second-team All-America in 1978 and 1980 and earned consensus All-America honors in 1979.
As a freshman he averaged 15.3 points and 10.7 rebounds to earn Co-ACC Rookie of the Year. In his sophomore season he averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game while leading Duke to the ACC Championship and National Championship game. He was the ACC Player of the Year as a junior. He ranks fourth on Duke's all-time scoring list with 2,323 points, second with 1,242 rebounds and second with 345 blocked shots.
He is also the only three-time Academic All-America in Duke history and was a three-time member of the ACC's All-Academic Basketball team from 1978-80.
Gminski went on to the NBA where he was selected in the first round of the 1980 draft by the New Jersey Nets. He played 14 seasons of professional basketball with New Jersey, Philadelphia, Charlotte and Milwaukee. He currently is a Fox Sports college basketball analyst for Sunday's ACC telecasts.
The Legends will be honored at the 55th Annual Atlantic Coast Conference Basketball Tournament this March 13-16 in Charlotte, NC. The Legends will be honored at the Annual ACC Legend's Brunch and will also be presented to the ACC Tournament crowd at the Bobcats Arena at halftime of the first semifinal game on March 15, which will have a 1:30 pm tipoff.
