Fox was the quickest point guard I seen play for Kentucky
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
And an angel just died somewhere.
How many times you seens him play? I seen Wall once, he seen really fast
No the fastest was Dwight Anderson.
Both Wall and Fox were blurs but seeing Fox in person more than 10 times....seeing how he humiliated top competition with his speed was scary. Dennis Smith Jr moonlighting with Team Penny taking on Houston Hoops was a game I'll never forget. Smith Jr came to Nike EYBL to play and Fox destroyed him. It was another level and Smith Jr entered as getting the talk of being #1 overall PG/player potential and he just got punked all over the court. Never showed up to the Peach Jam and went back to Team Loaded. Smith JR is a fantastic athlete and quick but Fox was Tyreek Hill like against him.
No I did not ! Wish I had ! Watched all of his games on TV . Did you get to see him in person ?
I saw him, but I never SEEN him.
Wall was faster end-to-end than anyone I've seen. He'd pass by people who had a long head start on him. Fox had subtler shake'n'bake moves. Fox looked like a sprinter. Wall was built like a cornerback.

I meant to say "Fox looked like a marathoner." Blame it on my not youth.

man I think I’m gonna make it for now. Agree with you on Fox. He and Monk together is probably the most exciting freshman backcourt anyone has ever put together.

Rob Lock was pretty quick once he got up off the floor
Turner was no slough in the speed department.
Macy ran point on that team. Anderson was the two guard. But, yeah, in terms of sheer lightning quick speed and athleticism, not sure we’ve had anyone who tops the Blur.
Such a shame that he was so messed up away from the court.
Saw Dwight Anderson play a few times. The Blur!
He brought us back against kansas in a little over a minute, we were 9 behind I think. Tied it up and he helped us win in Overtime. Fastest UK guard i have ever seen.

Never saw him play. All I ever saw was a blur.
I agree, with the ball nobody was faster than Wall. Look at the UNC game dunk where he beat every single UNC defender down the court as well as all the UK guys too. Just dunked like it was nothing.
You may want to proof read this for punctuation.
No way! Sharpe was so fast we never even seent him play. Perfect fit for the fast paste offense.
Good Lord. How has this idiot not been banned yet? I’ve caught a thousand of em and this guy gets to just skate along? Mods asleep at the wheel, per usual. Now here comes my next ban.
Glad you seen him and we all seen him. He was a sight to seen.
Yes ... I saw Dwight Anderson in person, in one of the most memorable UK games at Freedom Hall. 'Cats vs. No. 2 Notre Dame - Dec 30, 1978. N.D. had Tripuka, Laimbeer, Woolridge, and Hanzlik. 'Cats win 81-76. "The Blur" took over the game with about 10 minutes to play. Joe B. put Dwight at the top of the key and had him go one-on-one, about 8 straight trips down the floor. Of course, about the third time it was one-on-two, and it finally got to be one-on-five. They absolutely couldn't stop him. The Blur score 17 points in about 10 minutes. Fastest player I ever saw in person in any sport. But ... Fox and Wall were super-quick at U.K., too. No doubt about that.
I done seent ‘im and I’ll tell you right now he made fast guys look not fast.
This entire game is posted on YouTube. I’d recommend that anyone interested in UK history give it a watch (especially the second half when the Blur took over).
