Dominique Hawkins vs Wagner

[crestcat]

Kids don't care about becoming a "legend", especially in a state they're not from.

I believe Big Dan did

My point being none of these guys are NBA ready. Reeves maybe. I wish Calipari would really care about their future and tell them that. They make more here in their second year than they would playing in some dark, old, decrepit gym in the G league not to mention the exposure. Sure Wagner is better than Hawkins but look at Hawkins from his freshman year til his senior year. He was a veteran leader on that team. Everything in this world is rush rush rush. What’s wrong with staying in school, winning a couple of titles and becoming a legend?

Who the hell wins a couple titles at UK?

Other than some guys almost 30 years ago in the 90s you have to go back to the late 40s and early 50s to see that.

And you people telling someone not to make more money at a younger age are delusional. You all would take more money at your current employer and would have skipped 3 years of college if you could have made money after one year.

That was over 50 years ago. Times have changed. The money that guys are being paid now compared to then is absurd.

You are one of those fans who have fallen victim to the apathy that has overrun this program. You probably watch the NBA for the passing and defense played. These guys are making millions here. That argument is bullshit.

Tell me you're a trash poster without telling me you're a trash poster.

This just further proves that some of you have an anti-DJ agenda. No reasonable, rationale person believes Hawkins is better than DJ.

This is silly.

I love UK basketball. I'm a bigger fan than most of the kids on the team. If I was going to get paid millions to play in the NBA, yes, I'm taking it. Everyone is.

A bunch of message board warriors harp like it's the honorable thing to give up money for the sake of the church of the university of Kentucky. 99.99% of people don't pass up life changing money. And the ones that do have better reasons than "Becoming a legend at UK basketball." Like, should they really care more about impressing the message board warriors than being financially set for life and reaching their dream?

Their dream is the NBA. It's ok to allow yourself to have your dream. One of our dreams is for Kentucky to win National Championships. But it's not theirs. And that's fine.

I know, I know we've all fallen victim to the apathy Cal has created or whatever BS you're spewing. I don't need Calipari or anyone to help me understand people do what's best for them. That's just a common sense fact of life.

Which one is making millions?

 

[WildcatforLife1965]

You tell me. Obviously that was a baiting question. Looks like you want a participation trophy as well.

 

[Mike-McD]

Wagner has been freshman of the year twice. Quit with this nonsense.

ROFLMAO

How can you be a freshman of the year twice?

Also, false.

They aren't getting millions.

I see you ignored me shredding your stay and win multiple titles argument. We have 4 titles in 65 years. No era of players other than a few 96 and 98 players have done that.

What was your excuse for the players for those other decades for not winning them?
