Gotta go with Skywalker. I was young when he was at UK, and his nickname alone made him one of my favorite players.

High school team mate and long time friend of mine .. funny I thought it was " Snow Man". and I've never heard Mike called the " Greenup Giant" Was really a good player , in todays world with maybe a red shirt freshman year and better nutrition he could have been a larger contributor , he actually has solid numbers as a freshman starter at Wake Forest , before transferring .
