I don’t really have a favorite non Kentucky player but sometimes when a guy transfers from UK, I will keep track if I liked the guy well enough.

If we are talking NBA, it’s easily Luka.

 

[Orville Boggs]

Earl the Pearl

Pistol Pete has to be #1, Bird is right there,. Fly Williams was fun to watch because there was no telling what he would do during time-outs or before the game in warm-ups.

Wilkins and Barkley for pure basketball, Mc Daniels at WKU was entertaining(I was there at the same time and saw him play many times)

 

[Cleatortoises]

Dr J
Bird
Moses Malone
All non UK college players are the enemy.

 

[DraftCat]

If i'm going by college basketball only lets see who comes to mind... 91 baby for reference

Jimmer
Steph Curry
KD
Carmelo
Kemba Walker - although I hate to list him.

Shawn Kemp was fun to watch. He lived to dunk on fools. Dirk Nowvitzkitszi & Tracy McGrady were super talented as well. Didn’t hurt they had Kentucky ties.

I always liked to watch Penny myself. He was a special player.

 

[kyboy1998]

I was a big Dominque Wilkins fan. Liked Bird as well.

I enjoyed LaBradford Smith at Louisville when we weren’t allowed to be shown on live TV.

 

[Robcatt24]

Darryl Dawkins.

Chocolate Thunder from the planet Lovetron

Spent his offseasons practicing interplanetary funkmanship with his girlfriend Juicy Lucy.

 

[Titpwhami2014]

Kevin Durant, I had never seen anything like him. A 6’11-7’0 small forward who could handle and shoot. I was probably in the minority but I thought he should have been the #1 pick over Greg Oden in 2007. I had serious concerns about Oden’s motor and obviously the injuries maks him a great “what if” story. But I watched a lot of Texas games in Tubby’s last year.

 

[BC_Wader]

This, for me ... goin' away ! ! !

Best basketball IQ I've ever seen at any level. He was two steps ahead of everyone else and he never took plays off. My favorite sports athlete of all time.

 

[Myth Buster51]

College players: Sampson, Dunkenstein, Olajuwon, Wayman Tisdale and David Robinson.

 

[DreadLox]

John Havilcek

I never saw him play as a collegian. Only radio. But whenever the Celtics were on TV, I'd try to catch the game.
