    Name a random UK player from this century

    Kelenna Azubuike is the radio color man for the Golden State Warriors currently. Came across him doing a game on Sirius a while back.

    Name a random UK player from this century

    That was the first name that popped into my head too. I always had a soft spot for him because he had some family issues that he was dealing with while at UK. Per ChatGPT, Fitch is currently head men's basketball coach and assistant AD at Central Georgia Tech in Macon. He played...

    May 22, 1975 KY Colonels win ABA Championship

    One of the biggest mistakes in the history of the State of Kentucky was letting the Colonels dissolve. Think of all the tax revenue lost over the years. Pacers may win the NBA this year, Colonels long forgotten. They were drawing 8000 per game when the NBA was barely surviving.

    Ten years from now

    SGA is in. Has there ever been a former MVP that didn't make it? Hoping to watch AD remove any doubt after the next couple of years with the Mavs.

    May 22, 1975 KY Colonels win ABA Championship

    Another Ladner story from "Loose Balls". They were fly into Washington DC for a game. Ladner looked out the window and saw the Washington Monument and said, "that must be the Washington Post".

    Zakai Zeigler sues NCAA, seeking another year of eligibility.

    I still remember him throwing lob passes to Ernie and Bernie Grandfield.

    I still enjoy watching Jamal Murray play, so smooth. Been fun to watch him go head-to-head against SGA and Cason Wallace.

    Mavericks win draft lottery/Flagg

    Yes, plus he averaged 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks, which is unheard of. That is Flagg's most impressive statistic by far. I'll be shocked if he doesn't get Rookie of the Year, assuming he stays healthy.

    Mavericks win draft lottery/Flagg

    Dinwiddie, Jones and Edwards are all free agents who likely won't be back. The Mavs have 14 under contract (counting the #1 pick), so that leaves room for a facilitating PG, which they don't have now. I would trade Flagg to the Sixers for Maxey and pick #35 in a heartbeat if the Sixers would...

    NBA Playoffs

    One thing is certain, at least one team in the Finals will have a prominent former UK player. All three teams left in the West, OKC, DEN and MIN, and the Knicks out of the East have UK reps.

    Mavericks win draft lottery/Flagg

    Here is the Mavs current depth chart (with Flagg) and last year's stats. They need a pass first PG in free agency. I think PJ will backup both AD and Flagg. Irving out until January at least. I like Jwill's idea of trading Flagg for Maxey and a pick. 2025-26 Depth Chart PG (I)Kyrie...

    NBA Playoffs

    Celtics went 15-60 on threes. The NBA is going to have to consider rule changes. Maybe a 3 becomes worth 2.7, or a two point shot should be worth 2.3. Call me Boomer, but I would crack down on walking too, at least on the extra step and change of pivot foot that guys get away with now.

    NBA Playoffs

    Brunson is amazing, one of the most fundamentally sound players I've ever seen. He was probably college player of the decade at Villanova too. https://www.espn.com/nba/scoreboard

    NBA Playoffs

    AD is signed through 2028. So unless they trade him, he is the face of the Mavs for the next 3 years. I've always thought AD was best at C, but with the Mavs roster he is better at PF. Defensively, the Mavs front court could be one of the best ever assembled with Gafford/Lively at C, AD at...

    NBA Playoffs

    Julius Randle doesn't get enough credit nationally. That is a trade that worked out for both teams. T'wolves are better with Randle instead of KAT, and the Knicks are a lot better with KAT over Randle. KAT and Gobert weren't great together, and you don't get Randle if you trade Gobert...
