Yeah he did as he wasn’t even called for a foul or was suspended on a subsequent game. If you want to consider Sellers bouncing Laettner’s head like a basketball on the hard court , I’ll give you that much. Hahahaa. I always smile when I watch that clip.
Little known fact, that iconic photo is of Sellers diving the ball not menacing Laettner. True, moments later he did dribble Laettner's head off the court, but it was a still shot of Rod making a hustle play that seemed to energize Seller's being punished after the game.

Watch the video frame by frame. That famous still photo is of Rod diving for a ball. The head dribble came a second or so later.

Looks to me like he was diving but definitely included an intentional forearm shiver to the head. Then the two handled head dribble. Love the whole sequence. :)

Exactly - hated BP so much back then!!
Packer was awful in the 1999 championship, he was such a Duke homer & hated UConn. He kept saying UConn players were pushing off or somehow committing infractions- now & then Jim Nantz would challenge him, but eventually even Nantz knew it was hopeless.

Completely true - extremely ACC biased

I honestly feel the same about this as I do about getting into the Big 12. I'm girding for disappointment, but what if...
