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

    I’m not going with stats or money as criteria but… Rondo - title for Boston and LA pretty incredible run he had. Not sure anyone saw him having the career he did. Hearing players talk about rondo now on various podcasts is pretty cool. They all really respect him. Tayshaun - helped Detroit...

    OT: Fixing the NBA

    They don’t have stars anymore. The OAD and foreign talent, nobody knows who players are. Cowherd says it all the time. The NFL is the NFL because there is no bigger star maker than 3-4 years of big time college sports. When football players are drafted they have masses of people who know who...

    UK Retired Jersey it's TIME

    Wayne has a couple things going against him. The old heads in charge of the HOF most likely don’t like Pitino. Luckily Pope is bringing that era back to popular UK fandom culture. It fell out of favor for awhile because P was viewed as treacherous as well as some of his issues while at UL...

    Uk planning another exciting exhibition opponent

    Finally someone who understands “early season energy” Regardless of sport and whether it’s exhibition or regular season. This needs to be a trend. For all sports. Especially now that NIL is a thing. Get some sponsors together and pay the players. Specifically for basketball potential...

    UK vs UL series idea

    I like the idea of a big event to kick off basketball season which is why I'm in favor of moving the game. However, that goes for football as well. All these weak *** games that garner very little interest to kick off football season doesn't do anybody nor the sport in general any good. So to...

    College Basketball Programs Valuations per WSJ

    Yeah I’m not sure the metrics and everything that goes into it. I don’t know that UK is one, but that seems a little low. Would like to know if not owning Rupp hurts or helps. I’ve always argued that it needs to be on campus and owned by the program…but maybe not. UL has always outkicked...

    Mavericks win draft lottery/Flagg

    If the lottery was rigged it'd be Lakers, Boston, New York, Miami, Warriors getting top picks all the time. Big global port cities. Four of them actually championship winners and relevant. One of them, NY, could use some rigging in their favor to land a big phenom talent. I wish the leagues...

    American basketball player arrested for drug smuggling in Indonesia - possible death penalty.

    Lawlessness only flies in one country. Important reminder of what tolerance and intolerance looks and feels like. America too conservative and religious! They scream. Folks, you’ll know when you’re in a religious and/or conservative country. But I digress that’s a rant for another forum.

    Mavericks win draft lottery/Flagg

    Yeah the league rigged a lottery for Dallas!!! They’re not even the premier team in Texas! With Houston being stacked with young elite up and coming talent Mavs could be 3rd in the state next season! Three old injury proned vets with a rookie! My god the horror of facing them!

    NIL expert says Big East will be first, SEC last in revenue assigned to basketball …..

    NIL pots in basketball will have greater effect. Even the smallest of marginal differences. Just by nature of the game. You can spend 90% of basketball NIL on 2-3 players…hell even just 1 if he’s a generational phenom. The rest of the squad can be bargains. Football you need to be 2-3 deep at...

    UK/UL game scheduled

    Love it! Big time marquee game to kick off season. Wish football would do the same…but that’s a rant for the other board.

    This is our roster so far

    Looking like a modern remake of the classic hit “Platoon”. New director and cast. Same story of a lot of big dudes who can ball. Great story overall last time. **** ending.

    Perry to Ole Miss

    I’m not sold it was for more money. First off, Ole Miss is spending their NIL on football. Not sure how much they spend on BBALL but I’m sure it’s not what UKBB collective is spending. Second, whatever money they are spending on BB I’m almost certain they wouldn’t use a chunk of it on a kid to...

    Redick

    Folks are just looking for something to get worked up about. Lakers generally are a target historically. Big successful franchise in a showtime global port city. Throw in Lebron…arguably the goat still playing high level over 40. Throw in Lebron’s kid. Throw in a former Dukie on top of all...
