    Which 5 ex UK players that you saw play at UK, in your opinion has had the best professional careers?

    Think of Hartenstein for the Thunder with an inside out game. Thats how Issel played. Looked like a slow bruiser but played much quicker with his reactions, instincts etc much like Bird played quicker. Had the combination of physicality and finesse and that's how he made it all those years...

    Would someone plz evaluate how the other SEC teams did in the offseason?

    Correct, their first 6 or 7 are still pretty good and experienced enough to get them to the tournament. Getting Knox back was a big help. Their slow start last year made everybody forget they had talent that was just underperforming until late. They will have similar talent this year but it...

    No just have seen them all and know basketball. Issel was an all time great NBA player and could have played today. Go ask other NBA greats NBA like Jabbar and Malone how good he was. And he did it at 6-9 against 7 footers.

    Pope has found his GM and Bodyguard

    Costner is one of those actors that basically just plays himself in every movie just in a different costume. Elliot Gould was the same way, cant change that voice.

    What an EPIC choke by the Knicks

    No question and its happening in college too. Both turning into a 40 minute scrum. LIke watching a game at the outdoor courts at Shilitoh Park. Most of that created by the offensive side. With the way they are allowed to bull rush along with the freedom they have to cup and carry the ball...

    What an EPIC choke by the Knicks

    Yep he's a great player but lacks quickness and when the other guys are pressing and trapping you just cant try and dribble through them when you last that quickness. He held held the ball way to much and I was yelling at the TV for him to give it up. But truth is the Knicks lacked quickenss...

    Braydon Hawthorne commits to UK!

    I reminded my nephews of that last night watching the game. Shai was our lowest ranked recruit that year I believe.

    Matt Jones's opinion on Jasper

    I'd say that's Coache's message to him and the family. Look what Dilly and Reed did coming off the bench so be patient.

    Oweh update

    I kind of look at that differently. Not sure we need a replacement, think we already have bodies here that can fill it just opens up more space for them. So we're okay if he goes talent wise but man you can't replace that kind of Dog mindselt he brings.

    Gators reach $40.5M extension with basketball coach Todd Golden

    Once again I'll repeat this sermon so here it goes . . . Every AD in the country gets caught up in the moment and does this every time with big out of the box contracts. In the moment everything looks rosies and sunshine forever so what can go wrong. The coach always looks like the newest...

    Jasper Johnson Iverson Classic?

    That’s a real good analysis. The other thing Cal still will be lacking is reliable consistent shooting. They’ll still be reliant on attacking the rim and it would be a big boost to get Knox and Thiero back for sure. We may not be as good shooting as we were last year either but have better...
