The ‘I Hate Christian Laettner’ 30-for-30 is coming out on Sunday (watch trailer here). Laettner was on the Scott Van Pelt and Rusillo show on Wednesday, where the former Duke star discussed Jalen Rose and the Fab Five calling Laettner a ‘b*tch’ and ‘p*ssy’.
Here’s what Laettner had to say about :
The way I dealt with it is, ‘Hey, me and my buddy can make a movie too and bad-mouth as many people as we want too.’ And I was surprised that ESPN let them do that … I was disappointed in that. That’s not what life is about.

But maybe someone told Jalen we want to make a provocative movie and start saying Laettner is a b*tch and Laettner is a p*ssy. I guess that’s what life is about. I don’t appreciate it. I don’t like it. It’s something that I’ll never do.

People criticize me for being tough on my teammates, but no one criticizes people who make a movie and call other people b*tches and p*ssies. Who can’t do that? Anyone can do that.”
