Sulaimon has texted Krzyzewski on three occasions: Easter, when the team made the Final Four and also when the team won the national title. He watched the championship game with about eight fellow Duke students in an apartment and said he was overcome with emotion while watching his former teammates celebrate after the victory.
"I was elated. Everyone was throwing popcorn and water in the air, and celebrating," he said. "I was celebrating too. I was so happy for them because I knew the type of work they put in to get to that point. At the same time, I'm not going to act like I'm not human, I cried that night. I didn't cry because I was sad or mad they won. I was 100 percent elated. Shortly after that, I had to remove myself from the crowd as they were tearing up the house. I called my dad in great tears, telling him, ' Dad ,I really missed out on something, I could have been a part of something that was bigger than me, and something that could have lasted a lifetime.'"
