Happy BDay Monster Mash!!!!!

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.

MONSTER MASH!!!

Pitino doesn't turn the Cats around as quickly as he does without Mash. Probably one of the most important recruits to ever play for Kentucky

Mash and John Wall were game changers for us.

Mash more so.

I am 63 and he is one of the best players I can remember at UK

 

[bthaunert]

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!

 

[BlueBomb]

Maybe the most important player ever to come to Kentucky.

 

[stringmusiccat]

An all-time great. Top 3 to ever wear the blue and white

 

[natron20]

The most important recruit in the history of the program.

 

[BC_Wader]

He was the perfect piece to add to the Unforgettables. Still my favorite UK team after all these years. The only time I've cried after a season was over.

 

[UKBlueBlood]

Best college player I've ever seen wear the UK jersey, including John Wall and Anthony Davis. I said what I said.

I’m also 48. Kenny Walker was my first favorite player but Mash is probably my all-time favorite. Still occasionally watch that first 5 minute obliteration the 1993 team put on Wake Forest in the tournament.

 

[Emarc]

Have not had his equal since.

While I agree with what you said, a second year of Wall or Davis like Mash gave us might have changed your mind. Just sayin'...

Same here

Fair point.

Happy Birthday
Dr. Mash.

 

[MegaBlue05]

I’m 45. Mash was my childhood hero. He’s my all-time favorite Cat and the ‘93 squad is my all time favorite UK team of my lifetime.

 

[kats23]

Mash was my first favorite wildcat. Hopefully, we can get him back involved at UK now that Pope is here

Those Wake Forest and FSU games were crazy
