[PAR] [TLE] Christian Laettner [SEP] Christian Donald Laettner ( , ; born August 17, 1969) is a retired American basketball player whose Hall of Fame career for the Duke Blue Devils is widely regarded as one of the best in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) history.  He was the star player on the back-to-back National Championship teams of 1991 and 1992.  He is particularly famous for his game-winning shot against Kentucky in the 1992 regional final and for the hatred he received from opposing fans. [PAR] [TLE] 1992 NBA draft [SEP] The 1992 NBA draft took place on June 24, 1992, in Portland, Oregon.  At the time, the draft was considered to be one of the deepest drafts in NBA history.  The top three picks (Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning, Christian Laettner) were considered can't-miss prospects.  O'Neal and Mourning are Hall of Famers.  Laettner made one All-Star game in his career and was an Olympic Gold Medalist on the 1992 Dream Team, but did not live up to the lofty expectations set for him.  All three would end up playing together on the 2005 Miami Heat.  Two other players went on to become All-Stars (Tom Gugliotta once, Latrell Sprewell four times) and several others had solid careers (Jimmy Jackson, Robert Horry, Doug Christie, P.J. Brown, LaPhonso Ellis, Jon Barry, Walt Williams, Anthony Peeler, and Clarence Weatherspoon).  Harold Miner, who was given the nickname "Baby Jordan" because of his similarities to Michael Jordan, slipped to number 12 and, other than winning two slam dunk contests, only had a brief, uneventful four-year career.
