Happy Birthday Jamal Mashburn

Jamal Mashburn was my first basketball jersey. He was special. Never have I had my heart broken the way it was when UK lost to the Fab Five in the Final Four.

My mom went out years ago when I was a kid and bought specialty cards with Mashburn and surprised me on Christmas morning with a whole collection of Mashburn Kentucky cards.
 
I’m 48 so he was prime fandom for me as a high school student. He was so good inside and outside. Sucks knee problems impacted his NBA career.

And an even better businessman. Took his money and made even more money. Such a smart dude!
