You need college players like Bam to win things that matter. Bam helped UK win both sec regular season and sec tournament.

He was then robbed of a final four by roofer biatch
You aren't kidding that North Carolina game is still in the back of my mind to this day.... Bam , Fox , and Monk could've easily had that Championship that year if it wasn't for that cheating *** hole!

I’ll never get over 2015 and that game. 1997 hurt but we had our (2nd?)best player out. We should have won both those years and 2014 too if not for ridiculous ref interference.

Not cheesy to me. Dude had 31 in the first quarter with nothing but normal basketball. Wasn’t until his final 8 they helped a little he may have got it even without the fouls. No other player not named Kobe or Wilt was ever even in the spot to be “cheesy.” Impressive if you ask me.
It's cheesy to anyone that respects the game. That was a travesty.

You can’t call it cheesy when you don’t get the chance to do this often. His team knew what was at stake for him and went to bat for their team mate.
It's super cheesy, as is the entire NBA these days. So unethical. Do it the right way.

Kobe took 46 shots to get his 81. Scoring that many requires lots of shots. And if I remember correctly it was kind of a meaningless late season game with 2 non contending teams. Don’t really see how Bams is much different. Don’t think anybody’s comparing the 2 players. Great achievement for an under appreciated Cat.

Bam was incredible. This is awesome stuff.

It's too bad Calipari couldn't close the deal here and finish strong. His NBA legacy could have skyrocketed recruiting to new heights when combined with a donor base that still believed in him.

UK has 10 current NBA All Stars - Bam, Towns, Randle, Davis, Booker, Maxey, Fox, Murray, Herro, SGA. Doesn't count Wall and Boogie who were also all-stars.

We will probably start seeing other players and I it now. NBA is so watered down and boring, it will bring in views.
Imagine giving steph 43 shots and 43 free throws

Miami was intentionally fouling Washington to put them on the free throw line, so Miami could get the ball back quickly to get Bam more possessions. Miami's coach even challenged a call to try and get Bam an extra possession.

That is pretty much the big complaint. But that's not on Bam. That's on Coach Spo. Miami was blowing out Washington, and the Miami coach did everything he could to get Bam 83 points.

Now in the NBA I grew up with, if you're blowing out a team and you leave a starter in to stat pad, somebody like Charles Oakley would probably hurt that star player.

So again, everything bad about tonight is on Coach Spo. Not Bam.
