The Duke basketball social media team just wanted to share some photos of former Blue Devil [autotag]Grayson Allen[/autotag] during a workout. Instead, they got a gem of legendary head coach [autotag]Mike Krzyzewski[/autotag].
Allen returned to Durham for a training session on Monday, working with current Duke coach Jon Scheyer on the court. The team posted some glimpses of his workout on X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter), but fans immediately noticed Coach K mid-bench press in the background.
The five-time national champion was moving weight, too. At 77 years old, Krzyzewski had some heavy-looking plates on either side of the bar.
It wasn’t just Duke basketball fans amused by Coach K, either. Duke legend [autotag]Jayson Tatum[/autotag], fresh off his first NBA title and his second Olympic gold medal, shared a laugh about the photo on social media.
“Naw Coach still hitting the bench press he’s an animal,” Tatum said in a post on X.
