Where does Monk rank all-time in total dunks by a UK freshman?

Between Doron and Delk. I'd guess he had 10ish all season, about 8 of which I don't even remember and am just assuming.

Major Key Alert from my Tops. #WeDaBest

 

[CAT Scratch FVR]

Monk was an average athlete. Great shooter.

[SAECATFAN]

Monk was the best offensive player of the Calipari era IMO. I could watch that dude with the ball all/air.

 

[Mashburned]

Put a ruby encrusted Kamodo on this mobile puppy with the hot tubby.

 

[Ron Mehico]

Monk gets it.

 

[cawoodsct]

Boxing Balls -- what time will the Mayweather/McGregor fight actually start, estimated?

Probably about 11:30

 

[Wildcat Willy]

Here are a few Monk dunks for you touching simpletons...

Monk wasn't very athletic.

 

[ukwizard]

Those are all fine dunks Willy but I guess people were expecting this kind of stuff from Monk coming in.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Monk is an insane athlete who also didn't have any real jaw-dropping facials like we were expecting.

Both can be true, and are. Sorry, Monk police.

 

[wildcat1973]

Derek Anderson was like 25 years old when he did that. Monk was just 18 years old last season. Would love to see the Monk facials as a Senior.

 

[wildcat1973]

Then again, so was MKG...

 

[Wildcat Willy]

True. He didn't take a shoulder to the hip which made him appear to be horizontal to the ground. (one of my fav dunks of all-time)

But he did throw the round thing through the hoop a few times. Not too bad for someone who isn't athletic IMO.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Thanks, Willy. Hopefully you & Anth can weather this storm and live to see another day.






^ top 5 UK dunk, by a Top 5 pussy (who can't even dribble). So, it *can* be done. Just thought we'd see a BUNCH of that from Malik.

It's okay, really. Nothing to get all emotional about, Malik is a good boy.

 

[anthonys735]

Dammit, I had my money on 73 pointing out how athletic John Wall was. Total curve ball to pick MKG.

 

[Hankshaker]

Ah August, where Wodie gets so bored that he tries to somehow instigate an argument about Malik Monk.

 

[PTI (pti)]

Kentucky has had many athletic players, imo.

 

[wildcat1973]

Yeah, John Wall was the right play, but that MKG dunk was just so powerful and nasty and Dominique like...filthy.

 

[anthonys735]

Short arms aren't good for posterizing mofos. Been my problem all these years.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Can't believe Wall made that wide open dunk.


I didn't instigate anything -- I posted a fact, that Monk didn't really have any facials or timeless dunks & wondered aloud if similarily (more?) athletic Hami would deliver on that.

Some people got their feelings hurt, some people then said he wasn't an athlete, and now '73 is posting videos of John Wall run outs and Patrick Patterson nailing 3s to support some kind of stance? idk

I mean, GYERO.

 

[B Rax]

You know who the real disappointment is ? It's coach cal

 

[PTI (pti)]

How many more 73 posts until we all hate Malik Monk?

3?

4?

Less??

 

[wildcat1973]

Shouldn't you be liquefying your joints on a mountain somewhere?

 

[PTI (pti)]

Currently working. About to go for a run and do some yoga. Hiking Mount Yale tomorrow with my new Brazilian friend.

That's my agenda.

My fave dunk ever. Often overlooked is the ridiculously on-point half-court bounce pass by Epps that set it up.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

 

[Wildcat Willy]

Sorry wodie, I just skimmed over your post. I was replying to others who seemed to think he didn't have many dunks and wasn't athletic.

I'll be honest, when I saw the word facials in your post, I assumed you were talking about your alone time with the Country Club shower wall.

You don't deserve Coach Cal, hillbilly.

 

[Mashburned]

If he doesn't win it this year we gotta fire Mitch.

 

[VernHatton52]

Adam Williams had a good dunk that one time.

 

[legalbeagle123]

I don't give two shits about James Young's dunk against UCOON because we lost the damn national championship against a piss poor team and would be OK never seeing that purported "highlight" again.

 

[WynnDuffy]

I would be ok with never hearing James Young's name again.

 

[Geese Feeder]

Monk was an average athlete. Great shooter.

Grief.

Summer is pretty much O-V for these shit takes, y'all. I don't have nearly the time to post anymore but I'm certainly not going to read drivel like this come fall.

THIS BY GAWD THIS

 

[Hankshaker]

James Young is one of those guys that I don't really even remember playing here.

Shorts:

- Was 59 Fahrenheit when I took the dog out this morning. Have a sixer of Sam Adams Oktoberfest in the fridge. Listened to a college football podcast on the way to work.

- James Young had some HUGE efforts during that run, notably against Wichita State. Plus, he was pretty much the only Wildcat to show up in that title game. WTF is wrong with you people?

- The lass won her company's 7-rows from-the-stage Riverbend tickets for Kings of Leon Friday night. Eek.

- Hitting the Anchor for dinner Saturday night. Figure I better start buttering up the lass for 6 straight months of Sportsball every weekend.

- My favorite part of the LLWS is when the coach- miked up with camera in his face- gives an obviously rehearsed heartwarming speech about not giving a shit about winning and only having fun. F off.

 

[KingLlama]

-Watching the LLWS makes me want to be a Little League coach. Not necessarily of a bloodthirsty All-Star team like these, but of the ragtag bunch of losers that finally wins its last regular-season game then gets treated to Dairy Queen and dumps a blue raspberry Arctic Blast over my head in celebration.

-Chad, Kings of Leon is fine, but the opening act that night, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, they're outstanding. Pretty sure PTI was way out in front on that one. Would love to see them live.

-Zion or Cam, I don't care which, just give me one of them.

-Feeling a football roadie this Fall to a stadium on my bucket list. Thinking a random October/November game in South Bend. No love for the Domers, but would love to experience that place just once, especially with a chill in the air.
