He is not welcome at Rupp Arena in my opinion. If he comes back, and does the "Y", I will boo him. I may be the only one, but I will boo him.
Did Reed Sheppard lose his “Lifetime Y” card?

Well, it’s not hard to see why he was mythologized. A white small town Eastern Kentucky kid who’s the son of a UK legend and also really REALLY good. Probably the most talented player ever to come out of the part of the state that worships UK most.
He’s like what a Hollywood scriptwriter would come up with if told to create the perfect character for the BBN to mythologize.
But, yeah, in the end he didn’t do squat for UK. Just an underachieving team that couldn’t even win its conference and embarrassingly flamed out of both the SEC and NCAA tournaments.
Fav ever ???? Dude wasnt in my top 25 before this brain dead stunt . To me he will remember as a solid player , no star at all, and a guy that choked as badly as any player in UK history in the NCAAT , and this stunt ... thats what I'll remember him by ... he should move to Ark and retire , because his basketball career is going to be short . I hope
Jeff & Stacy,
Don’t bring him back. You’re welcome to join us IF YOU WEAR BLUE. You’d think a kid who grew up in a UK apparel household would have more sense…but then again, Freshmen in College aren’t the most wise.

That clown was going to follow Cow to Arky if he didn't get a decent draft pick. All the Cow kids came to U of Cow, not UK to play.
No. That is exactly why it bothers me so much. He DOES know. He grew up here. He was us. He knew exactly how that was going to be seen by us fans, because he was us growing up. Reed is telling us he chooses Cal over Kentucky. So, he can go watch Arkansas when he is done playing basketball because he is no longer welcome here.
If Reed was benched, how did he average more minutes?1. Same coach that had you on bench for his real boy DJ.....

I've always been amazed at how easily people love someone when that person says or does certain things they like/want, but as soon as they don't, that love dissipates almost instantly. It's almost like that love was never based on the person but rather the gratification of getting what one wanted.
This is just a poor investment in the future. It doesn't look like anyone is going to remember his NBA career. He would've always had a home with BBN. Players need to take a look at Givens and Kenny. They are more than just former players. Pope is the same. Don't burn your bridges kid. We would've remembered you. Now we'll remember that gameday shirt.
I get what you’re saying, but NBA players also didn’t make anywhere remotely near the same money in Givens and Kenny’s day. Thus they had more reason to keep bridges unburned back then.
A 19-year-old handed a $46 million contract ain’t concerned about what the BBN might be able to do for him later in life.
