If you are over the age of 6 and call people names or insult their character based on a thread on a message board then you aren't as mature as you would like to think you are and are probably more petulant than you think you are.If you hold a grudge aganist Reed and are over the age of 6, you probably also eat out, run up a $ 300 bill.....and then leave a $ 5.00 tip and scurry out the door when your waitress is in the back. 🤣
PS, I'm a boomer.........just not a petulant one. I was raised to suck it up and be a man. TIA
He is no dirtbag , he comes from a great UK family , and he supported our opponent in the biggest game of the year . Several things can be true at once , I rooted my ass for him . He failed horribly in big games . He cashed in , made the right call , sucked against the door dash guy , got his ass handed to him by older players , looked good in blue , hit a game winner … see how this works ??? He “ got paid bro “ now go root on your boy Johny C in the NIT and be happy . Pig souee and all .It really is something to see, and not in a good way. There’s a ton of dirtbags in this world to despise. Reed isn’t one of them, lmao.
That wrinkled white tee shirt should hang in the NIL hall of fame.The thing I’ll miss most about Reed was his amazing performance in those Donatos ads with Dillingham
I think they're referring to one of Cal's one and one players that didn't care anything about Kentucky and just used them to cash in with an NBA team.Reed who?
I find it extremely odd that of all the players, Reed not only chose Cal over Kentucky, but chose to do it the way he did. How does Reed Sheppard grow up with parents he had, play for their school, fulfill a dream to play at Kentucky himself, and then openly support an opposing coach and team on game day? 'Young kid decision' or not, it's pretty wild that he chose his side in the manner he did. Definitely a Cal type move.I wish him all the success but will never consider him one of us. He is a Cal guy, not a UK guy. He made that clear
Did he not have UK gear on too?He wore our opponent's tshirt on the day we played them. He supported the coach over the school. How do you not understand that, and think it's "petty" that Kentucky fans have a negative reaction to that?? Seriously? Such a weird take on this.
IU fans picked Knight over IU.
It's like wearing a tshirt with the British Red Ensign on the 4th of July.
I think we can all agree that the shirt takes precedence. I could maybe even be ok with it if it were reversed. The guy rocked an Arkansas shirt the day we played them. There's not much more to say after that.Did he not have UK gear on too?
Reed who…. The guy that sported an Arkansas shirt on the day of UK’s game vs. Arkansas….. Yea he’s not UK blue… He’s one of those so called mercenaries!With several starters out, Reed gets the nod and drops 25 in a loss to SGA and Cason Wallace of OKC. Good to see him step up!
The Rockets needed 3-pt shooting going into the draft. Reed was considered the best shooter in the draft. Castle's 3PT% at UConn was 26.7% and it has been 28.4% with SAS this season.Agree with this take. Not sure why the Rockets drafted Shep over Castle with the way they play.
And then showed after the season was over that he was always Cal-first, not UK-first.It’s true, all we will remember is how that team underachieved and how he went out scoring like 4 points in the most important two games of the year.
A former player openly supported our opponent that day, for a huge game, and he thinks it's weird that we didn't like it. Weird. Definitely a Cal first fan.Calling people childish while you act childish....

And that’s fine that so many of you feel that way. I didn’t have any more emotion about the Ark game than any other SEC game (I am incredibly thankful Cal left on his own and didn’t stick us with a miserable season with him as coach or a big buyout bill), so Reed supporting both his coach and his old team didn’t bother me. Certainly not like some on here who wished him ill.I think we can all agree that the shirt takes precedence. I could maybe even be ok with it if it were reversed.

Pretty fair post. We are all (most) UK fans and have our favorite players, team, moments in UK history etc. along with our differing opinions, which we are entitled to. I certainly don't wish him ill will just like I don't randomly wish ill will on any other NBA player. I also understand (because I am one ) those who are disappointed in him for that decision and are indifferent towards him now. The post about Oscar yesterday meant more to me than reading Reed had 25 last night.And that’s fine that so many of you feel that way.

If Jeff could have made 45 million after one season here he would have went to the NBA too. I'm not sure why people don't get that. Of course Reeds legacy at UK was a poor ending n March.
We have had a ton of 4 year players fail for 4 years but get the Rockstar treatment on here. 0 final fours and 0 national titles but Rafters loves a loser, as long as they stay to lose 4 seasons.

You can probably count the number of people truly upset about him getting the money on one hand. Most everyone understands that and would've done the same. No, this is about the game day shirt and him publicly and proudly choosing a side. Like he dumped UK and BBN or something. Like saying "I'm a former Calipari player" and not "Go Cats!".If Jeff could have made 45 million after one season here he would have went to the NBA too. I'm not sure why people don't get that.

Forget about us adults. What about the kids who idolized him in the Bluegrass?You can probably count the number of people truly upset about him getting the money on one hand.

Just so you know, CSB isn't actually here to post anything intellectually thoughtful. He's just here to cut down other fans and feel superior while doing it.He didn't have a shirt on that had Cal's name or face so no he supported a rival team. As much as you are defending him you must either be a friend or family member.
Were you raised to go around a sports message board, each and every day, pointing out how the thoughts of your fellow fans are inferior to yours?If a person hold a grudge aganist Reed and are over the age of 6, they probably also eat out, run up a $ 300 bill.....and then leave a $ 5.00 tip and scurry out the door when your waitress is in the back. 🤣

Despite having that insane dude on ignore I immediately knew who you were talking about!Were you raised to go around a sports message board, each and every day, pointing out how the thoughts of your fellow fans are inferior to yours?
Because that's what you do.
That 96-97 Suns squad was loaded at the point guard position: Jason Kidd, Kevin Johnson, and Steve NashI remember watching Steve Nash when he barely got off the bench and thinking what the hell are they thinking.
Probably 1998 Phoenix.
Hope he has great success and continues to do well !
