Most intimidating player atUK?

James Lee. Also, Allen Feldhaus (Deron’s dad). I may have him confused with someone else, so some of you older than me can correct me. My dad told me a story about a game against Tennessee where a UT player was roughing up Kentucky’s star player and Rupp had all he could take. He put Feldhaus in and told him to “take care of business”. Feldhaus literally chased that Tennessee player off the court.
Magloire wanted to be and I think that sets him apart from a lot of other dudes.
James Lee decked the all SEC forward, Hooker, from MIss St who was bullying Truman Claytor during a 77-78 season game. Charles Hurt pushed Charles Barkley to the floor during a game with Auburn in the 82-83 season. Barkley picked himself up and started chasing Hurt who outran him. Hurt was later a career army NCO retiring as a Msgt I think. Both of these players were solid enforcers for the cats but in my opinion the toughest player to ever put on a UK uniform was Magloire. Absoloutely no one at the collegiate or NBA level would mess with Jamal
Cousins gets my vote. He would have averaged 20 and 10 if he didn’t have to share touches with Wall, Patterson and Bledsoe. Coupled with the edginess…would have not been fun to line up against.
Magloire destroys mascot
He also did this to the Miami (OH) mascot heading to the tunnel in the tournament.
