KAT now owns an NBA record with his playoff run
- Thread starter MidseasonTweak
- Start date
Lebron with 3 in the top 13. Only other player with 3 in that top 25 is…ugh…Draymond Greene.
Cant stand him but I guess we gotta give him his flowers. He really was one of the best role players of all time.
Steph, Klay and Durant all only on their once. So it wasn’t just that Greene was getting carried by a dominant lineup.

I’m not surprised he’s one of the most efficient players to ever step foot on the floor Rupp Arena. I went to that regional final against Notre Dame where he was just money. I mean, they fed a ball to him in the post money or we would’ve lost that game.. in my opinion town has been severely undervalued. I think he’s gonna end up with a long career as opposed to most guys. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up with a couple more titles not necessarily with New York. If that team at 2015 team didn’t have so many studs on it. Towns would’ve come out one of our top 2-3 all-time greatest players that’s the kind of team say we have no Lyle’s maybe kat will have played the four some and killed it with his perimeter game. He made big sacrifices and in my opinion to me, he’s most beloved former cat. And he’s in the prime of his career he’ll come back to Lexington then he’ll bring that trophy. He’ll do a signing tour. It’s not just because he went to college in Lexington. He genuinely loves Lexington and the people there. Pope needs to tap into that. I mean, it’s no coincidence that the best stretch of recruiting that Pope has had occurred while we had a record number of Kentucky players in quarter and semifinals. And then the finals we had studs former guys that took us on big Time runs.. doesn’t hurt Ryan Hampton promise it helped big time. Now go and win over Shai, get Shai to make some calls to recruit from time to time.
I sure wish we'd have gotten the ball down to KAT damn near every possession in the last 5 minutes of the Wisconsin game in 2015. He was the aircraft carrier and we didn't utilize him, unfortunately.
I have two thoughts, we did well enough to only lose one game that season and Wisconsin shot out of their minds so things were working with how they were working - but... if Call had gotten greedy and played KAT 35 minutes, Ulis 25 minutes, reduced the bench time, prolly we'd a have had a NATTY.
Don’t remind me
Ulis Ulis Ulis …wasn’t one of the Harrison playing dumb down the stretch ???
Yes ... Ulis would've gotten the ball to KAT.
There is no question about it !!
So happy for KAT! He’s a class act and makes BBN proud. It still pains me to think of 2015 Wisconsin, but my, the happy memories that team gave us that season were unforgettable as a fan.

The ending may have been disappointing, but it was a great season. I’ve been watching since the Pitino era and that was a top 5…maybe even top 3 season since.
I’d rank them:
1 1996
2 2012
3 2015
4 2003
5 1998
Personal preference ofcourse.
Draymond was the product of being in the perfect situation. He was a solid role player his whole career, but if he never was in Golden State during Curry’s tenure he may have been out of the league after 4-5 years if it was Portland or New Orleans. KAT is a legitimate top player in the league and has been since day one. I’m happy he had this run because he got unfair treatment.
Yes I agree. Pope should have Shai and KAT in here along with the other stars often. They are our guys. They didn’t transfer, they are Wildcats.
He was a monster and as the poster said above, he saved us against ND and would have against Wisconsin. I’d take my chances with him in the post any day. Booker and the Twins had a terrible game. That did us in.
They called that BS shot clock and I think the pressure caused us to collapse. The season pressure those last 3 minutes of being so close to playing for perfection and a title.
