Whichever ones actually speak highly of Kentucky and still support the program. No clue who that would be as I haven’t watched an NBA game since Tayshaun was playing.

None of them really. The ones that love UK have already retired. Maybe karl towns. Idk just feel like I can't love them when I feel like they don't love UK.

I'm not really big into the NBA stuff since that's not what our program represents anymore. It's like they were all Cal guys.

Boogie and John wall seemed to love UK but I don't see a single one really going out of their way to represent UK. Mostly because any of them would have been in the NBA regardless of what school they attended.

Rondo seems to be the last UK player that was also a star in the NBA that understands what UK is.

One of my favorite interviews was when Rondo put boogie in his place and told him don't disrespect the university of Kentucky because the expectation has always been championships way before Cal was here. Cal has none without UK.

- Amari Williams
- Koby Brea
- Alex Wilkins (he has so much potential that the Wolves secretly signed him -- when you watch Ant Edwards, it's actually Wilkins' transplanted soul)
Don't need to watch anyone else, the above 3 will satisfy my basketball needs for a lifetime

Tough question. The Heat are local for me, so it's easy to root for them.

* Bam/Herro (Bam is so easy to root for)
* SGA
* KAT
* Fox
* Johnson

Tough to name only 5. I root for them all.
