ORLANDO, Fla. — With the Los Angeles Lakers winning their franchise’s 17th NBA championship by beating the Miami Heat Sunday night, former Duke guard Quinn Cook secured his second career NBA title.
Cook, who was also part of the Golden State Warriors’ 2018 title run, becomes the sixth different Blue Devil to win eight NBA titles. He and Shane Battier (2012 and 2013 with the Miami Heat) are the only multiple NBA title winners to play at Duke. At least one Blue Devil has won an NBA title in five of the last nine NBA seasons.
