John Wall Debates UK vs. UNC

[BillionthUKFan]

Fun video posted on CoachCal.com. While Wall doesn't pick guys going all the way back to Issel era, I was a bit surprised and glad to hear him mention guys from the 90s.

yeah i saw this in the other thread, when he said da i suddenly realized again how awesome wall is. maybe a dumb segment but that is really representing. he kind of started it all. he kind of schooled the guy too lol.

I saw all ten of those guys play in college. Kentucky is better at three or four of the five positions, and unless Jordan scores 50 would win the game. Cousins and AD against Brad Daugherty and Tyler Hansbrough? LOL. John is right, he'd overpower Phil Ford, who is about three inches shorter. Sorry, no four corners allowed. Jamison and Walker is close to a push, but Antoine was taller and stronger and a better defensive player.

I can guarantee Jordan wouldn't score 50 if Dean Smith was coaching this game .

What was the old saying? Something like the only person who could stop Jordan from scoring 50 was Dean Smith.

Winning NPOY only means you were the best on most consistent basis.

Hypothetically speaking if these two matched up in a national title. Our interior would decimate UNC's interior. Davis and Cousins is way to physically and skillfully too dominant for collegiate athlete to keep up.

That was freakin awesome!

I'd have to swap Walker for Mashburn.

Derek Anderson was a very good guard while here at UK, but on that team, I was more of a Ron Mercer guy. I thought he was the better player of the two, even though it's close. After remembering Mashburn, it wouldn't matter. I would sub Anderson for Mashburn and be confident UNC wouldn't beat us. Michael Jordan or not, I like our team. Our frontcourt is too talented and deep for UNC to handle. With Davis in the middle, it would be awesome to see Jordan in his prime driving the lane and matching up with Davis. Wow. What a matchup that would be.

I would have Worthy and Perkins along with Jordan, Lawson and a defensive guy like Jackie Manual because offence wouldn't be a problem. With Dean coaching, Heels win at least 7 of 10.

Fixed it for ya, including correct spelling. AFAM major or Canadian?

No way you can have a North Carolina team without Worthy. And probably Perkins . But Worthy is undebatable .

Would Dean want to run 4 corners with that team ?

With NBA refs, Cousins would crush Hansbrough. With college refs, Demarcus would be on the bench with 3 charges within the first 10 min.

Actually it was the only person who could keep Jordan's average under 20 ppg was Dean Smith.

And FWIW it was almost correct. Jordan averaged 13.5 his freshman year, 20.0 his sophomore and 19.6 his junior year. The 20.0 was in part thanks to the fact that the ACC was experimenting with the three point shot that season (of which Jordan his 34) so that obviously helped him reach his 20.0.
