Wayne Ellington Quotations

He made me a lot better actually, having someone to go through this whole thing with you is a lot better than going through it by yourself. You can't really slack because I know he's going to be working and I'm going to be working, so basically it helped me raise my game so I can compete at the next level.

He'll have to wear a North Carolina sweatshirt with a Duke shirt underneath it.

It gets heated, but I usually wax him. He likes to say he wins because one day he won three in a row. Anyway, one day he won a couple of games.

I sat down one day and thought about how crazy it was that two players from the same team, the same backcourt are going to the biggest rivalry in college basketball. It seems like just yesterday that we were just getting college letters. I never imagined it would come down to Duke and Carolina.

I was highly upset that a team that talented would hold the ball. Obviously, they knew we were in the game and had a chance to win the game when they pulled the ball out.

There's no way it'll fade. These past three years we've become so tight that I feel like our friendship is bigger than this whole Duke-North Carolina thing.

After college, I feel like we'll be NBA superstars and live the life we dreamed of.

It was an instant click. I didn't feel any flaws or anything. We just kind of played our game and complemented each other real well.

Individually, I didn't think I shot the ball real well. But we ran our offense inside and got some easy buckets.

I really think we're the best tandem not only in the area, but in the country. On and off the court I've never respected somebody as much as I respect him (Henderson). He's a great player and a great friend. We'll continue to be great friends, now we're just rivals.

I feel like our friendship is bigger than the rivalry. We'll still be best of friends after we leave Duke and North Carolina.
