Shane Battier has always been one of my favorite players. I'm not a Duke fan, but he almost made me like them when he was there, and I'm not a Rockets fan, but I root for them more often than not because he's on the team. I remember telling a friend a long time ago that Shane Battier was underrated because nobody measures the stuff he does. Looks like I was right.
