Claim: Aminu Timberlake received an apology from Christian Laettner after the latter admitted committing an intentional foul against the former.
Evidence: Timberlake is famous for being stomped on by Duke star player Christian Laettner, in one of the most memorable NCAA basketball games of all-time, between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Duke Blue Devils in the 1992 Elite Eight. Officials declined to eject Laettner, instead only charging him with a technical foul, a decision especially controversial because Laettner went on to score the game's winning points with an overtime buzzer-beating shot in which Grant Hill threw a 75-foot (23 m) inbounds pass to Laettner, who converted it from the free throw line. After many years of speculation about whether the stomping incident was an accident or an intentional foul, Laettner admitted during the airing of 30 for 30 documentary titled I Hate Christian Laettner broadcast in March 2015 on ESPN, that it was intentional. The former Duke center star also apologized to Timberlake over the incident.
