Well that’s rude. I don’t affiliate him with uk but I sure as hell don’t HOPE he has a bad career. What did he personally do to you? You’re talking about someone’s kid bro. Just let it go.
The Sharpe hype is re-emerging
- Thread starter JST390-2

This guy’s reputation consists of one or two good AAU tournaments. That’s it!
I’m just curious to see how he plans to fake his way to a second contract. I personally don’t think he’ll last that long.
When does he play his first real game? How long before he’s “injured” again?

To the OP and anyone that liked this post, I hope you fail miserably at life (and it appears you already are based on wishing a kid I’ll will that did nothing to you). See how this works?
When I was 18 I was very influenced. So were a lot of you
I don't encourage liars, users, and people of low character that put money over reputation, honor and moral decency. You must be the other guy. I have zero cares for people that act that way. None. And I'm not ashamed to say I hope those types of people fail. ...I also said I didn't wish him ill health.
Those defending Sharpe, I’m highly suspicious of your Kentucky basketball fandom.
Which is why sports talk radio and tv is virtually useless in off season. Not much better during the season. All just nonsense chatter to sell ads.
0 points and a single insane athletic play is a pretty good summary of the Shaedon Sharpe hype in general
He’s gonna be fine …he didn’t look overwhelmed …he looked like he belonged …you’re right he didn’t fill up the stat sheet …he hasn’t played in real games much for 18 months …give him time …looking forward to watching him progress
He has to be better than the Dragon that’s for sure. I think Oscar handles it better than he did.
Thanks for the motivation! Now here is a response. I don’t give two F@cks what you or any rando on the internet thinks about my life or what happens in it like most normal people should!
May I ask an honest question; why do you have such a cyber boner for SS? It's a bit odd to have your level of enthuthiasm for a guy who did literally nothing positive for UK basketball. The vast majority here would even argue his only impact on UK was a negative one. Just wondering.
After watching him in a summer league game and now 2 preseason games, playing him would have been a bigger travesty. He's an athlete and not much else at this point. He sure as hell wouldn't have earned PT off his basketball skills.
I don't like what he did either but quit acting like you wouldn't have done the same thing when talking about millions of dollars.
I don't know how athletic that play was. I don't think the ball was even above the rim when he blocked it. Maybe just above the rim. At any rate, it doesn't look to me like Sharpe's that high up.
Lots of kids have played with millions on the line, in fact probably a 1,000 of them by now.
How long until you start a Shaedon Sharpe Fan Club, broseph?
Refuse to play last year while I was sitting there on a Kentucky bench wearing a Kentucky uniform and eligible to play and my team needed me? You need to quit acting like everyone would have done what Shaedon Sharpe did. No they wouldn't have.
You can whine and cry all you want to but it changes nothing. He absolutely should have played last year and Cal should have made him but you would have jumped at the money too. Anyone on here would have.
I think UK should retire his number on a bench chair and leave it empty for every game.
forget the chair--put his number in the bottom of the urinals in Rupp Arena

I would bet my eternal soul that I wouldn't have done what he did. For a plethora of reasons. I'm literally nothing like SS. Look, some people are different and have different priorities that drive them. It's whatever. My reputation, my honor, and my family name have a more value to me than a number in my bank account. I can promise I'm wired absolutely different than SS and folks like him. I was then, when I was his age, and I sure as hell am now after my military experience (and age in general) and knowing first hand the value of character. Different strokes for different folks.

Maybe it's because we're typing to each other but understand that I am not whining and crying. YOU said anyone would do the same thing. It's not true. Jump for the money given the chance? Sure.
Basically you agree with me. You say he absolutely should have played. You also say Cal should have made him. I agree.
You are agreeing with us that he did NOT do what he should have done or what most would have done. So what are you arguing about here?
I agree with you completely. Kid should have played and Cal should have enforced it or kicked him off. I don't blame the kid for jumping at the money but I do blame the kid for lying and handling it the way he did.
I think pretty much everyone here is in agreement that the situation was handled horribly from SS decision to not playing and Cal's decision to not make him play given he was on the team.
I think where some differ is the amount of dislike they have about the guy.

Exactly …I became invested in him because of all the rhetoric being posted …first he was gonna play this year …then he was gonna lead us next season .
I do not understand the level of hate some of you have for the kid …first off, nobody knows exactly what was going on behind closed doors about his decision as to whether he was gonna play or not …who was calling the shots etc etc …I mean we just don’t know facts …all speculation …Cal trying to protect his name and his player …agents and parents trying to look out for the best benefit for their son/client …Sharpe just an 18 year old kid …and it is very obvious the shy personality is not an act …he is really a very shy kid.
Secondly, I posted the Lillard vid talking about Sharpe above …he is a highly respected NBA veteran …he said a lot of nice things about Shaedon but the main things I picked up on were …That, “Shaedon is a humble kid who listens well” …I’m pulling for the kid …
Agreed. He's an incredible 1 on 1 player with insane athleticism and footwork. But he majorly lacks team basketball skills. Something he would have gained here at UK. That being said, as long as the kid isn't dumb as a brick he'll learn overtime. And in the meantime he'll coast along just fine with his current skillset. The one thing that was concerning about his timidness.. But then again, he's only played like 20 minutes of competitive 5 on 5 in the past 2 years so that's not really a fair sample size to judge off of
Lol ok. A guy that pulls up from 35 ft in a game is more than confident in his jumper.
There's zero comparison between Whitney and Sharpe
Yeah I think that's why instead of being mad or wishing the kid ill will or anything I'm just indifferent to him. I don't really care one way or the other how he does in the NBA. But yeah I mean he came to UK with a lot of people in his ear. Who knows what he's been fed and told. He should have played but I can see a scenario where he was just listening to what his camp was telling him and that was the reason he didn't play. It obviously still stinks and he was still wrong but you can understand where a kid surrounded by many people would just listen blindly to them.
That's two different arguments.
Jumping at the money and not playing are two different categories entirely.

Sharpe shut it down.
Wembanyama won't shut it down.

Sharpe struggled. 2 points. Anybody watch?
I saw 5 pts on 16 minutes. But that could be wrong. My thousands of dollars invested in his cards are rooting him on. Lol
