This is beautiful stuff.

Antoine Walker Shimmy Highlight video.
- Thread starter Son_Of_Saul
- Start date
3x All-Star and five or six NBA seasons of averaging over 20 points per game.
He was our best player on the 1996 team.
All of that, and many of our fans don't give him any props for what he did here. He was incredible.

instantly teleported back to the mid 90s

That being said @Son_Of_Saul , I'm taking double zero as the best player on the 96 team. Toine was the most elite and versatile talent though for sure!
He was a special level of talent. Maybe not the polished game of Mash, but more athletic. ...and Mash is my favorite UK player ever.
Don’t forget, he was a NBA champ in Miami as well. Started for that team in 2006 IIRC. I’ve seen this video before, but thanks for posting.3x All-Star and five or six NBA seasons of averaging over 20 points per game.

Had Antoine stuck around in 1997, I honestly believe he would’ve been the best player in the country. Duncan might’ve just edged him, but who knows.
Man, could you imagine Antoine, DA and Mercer?! Goodness gracious. Very likely would’ve been three first team AAs on one team.
I'm so relieved. For years I thought those were seizures. Yes, I am old.

Pitino was masterful at landing elite forwards who could do multiple things on the court. Calipari has struggled to do the same.
Mashburn
Walker
Rhodes
Mercer
Would have had McGrady, too, if there was a OAD back then.

Walker was the engine for that 96' team.
Who is the best players to wear the #24? Lots of good options. Not just talking about scoring either. Overrall play.
Mash, Walker, Bledsoe, Azubuike, Flynn, Johnny Cox, I am sure I am forgetting others.

Came in to post this if no one else had. LOVE IT! HahaMy favorite. The lowdown shimmy
That is because Pitino recruited for positionless basketball. If you were on the court you were expected to handle the ball, shoot the ball and distribute the ball. He also recruited for skill over athleticsm but you needed both back then. Today's players seem to be trending to the way they used to play vs just dunking.
Yep. I’ll just leave this here.

Flashback to 24 years ago... or even two weeks ago... when collegiate athletes weren’t allowed to profit from their own name/brand/excellence. Would recruiting have been different if they were?...

Also read another article just now that said that DA was his host on his visit. He said he was sold on UK on his visit. Said he didn’t even want to take another visit. ****ing ADIDAS!
I don’t think he got enough credit for his passing skills and he had pretty good handles for his size too
Oh Lord yes. He was excellent at both. He was a decent shooter for his size as well.
The irony here is that DA and Mercer were nicknamed Thunder and Lightning. 🤔Aye, and he ate lightnin' and shite thundah as well!
🤣
He was Pitino's favorite, too. Pitino said he was the team's most talented player, and he was. I know Delk was the fan favorite, but Walker was the one player on that team UK couldn't afford to lose.
Antoine laid the shimmy on the Hog fans in Atlanta when UK came back in 1995 to win the SEC Tournament
Overall play? Mash. One of the greatest college basketball players ever. For any team.
I agree. He would be my pick as well. Could do it all.
Walker was really good too. Couldn't shoot it like Mash though.
Can you imagine having Mashburn and Walker on the same college team?
They'd give you about 40 combined points, 9 or 10 combined assists, and 16 to 20 rebounds a game.
6'8" 240 and handle it, shoot it, pass it like a guard
6'8" 230 and handle it and pass it like a guard, shoot respectable, and back to the basket game of an elite 5
