Nathan Chen

[hhh]

Check out team USA instastory. Btw, Sarah Hughes is in he house! College chitchat time with Nathan.

@ oatmella I know! He will probably subtly invite Coach K to a corner for the rest of the evening and talk hoops, I think he can give Nathan some wise words.

 

[heyheyhey]

Who is Coach K?

 

[frida80]

Who is Coach K?

Coach Mike Krzyzewski. He coaches Duke University basketball. He also coaches team USA basketball at the Olympics.

 

[hhh]

Who is Coach K?

Coach Krzyzewski of Duke University, he’s the most decorated and respectable coach (aside from Wooden of UCLA) of NCAA basketball division I and the head coach of USA Olympics Men’s basketball team, he’s best known not for the hardwares but of his personal character, coaching style and off court community work. Though he’s not in NBA, ex players like Kobe to the current LBJ/Curry, they check their superstars status by the door for him; when he talks they listen.

Hope Nathan gets to meet Coach K

He’s coached some of Nathan’s fav players (Kobe, Lebron, Steph Curry) and he also wrote a kind letter to another Nathan basketball idol Michael Jordan when he chose UNC over Duke

 

[Mrs. P]

Steph Curry played for Davidson. His brother Seth Curry (who is also in the NBA) played for Duke.

But yes, Coach K is a very distinguished coach and I'm sure it would be a great honor for Nathan to talk to him.

 

[oatmella]

I believe Coach K coached Steph on the USA Basketball team

 

[hhh]

I believe Coach K coached Steph on Team USA

Yeah that’s what we said right? Not college of course

‘heavily favorited’ ? fourth place at Olympics?

Nice write up from Michelle though

Very short article about Nathan attending Yale.

I think when they say the "NCAA Championships" they really mean the US Collegiate Figure Skating Championships, which both Max and Mirai have won in the past.

 

[oatmella]

haha ... and yes Nathan’s old signature Adidas white jacket was great. Along with his classic black Adidas warm up pants with the stripes on the sides.

Nathan finally committed to Yale - deadline was today (I think)

Oh got it. Thanks for the clarification.
