We’re pretty much on hold until we hear some draft news so let’s have a thread for some fun.

Any funny UK or beastie all stories. stories, good basketball or sports jokes, pics of hot women (or men for the ladies here), etc.

Let’s just have some good natured fun in this thread.

I’ll start…

Why are basketball players always hard to keep in one place?

Because they’re always looking to bounce.
 
Something funny I always remember is the story of Rick Pitino kicking Macaulay Culkin (the kid from the Home Alone movies) out of practice one day.

He was pretty famous and on campus for something and tried to watch some practice in Memorial Coliseum with a booster or something, and Pitino didn't give a flying f*ck who the kid was and kicked his ass out.

I just find it hilarious picturing Pitino doing that and the reaction he probably got from Macaulay Culkin.

I just posted this in another thread. Pardon the duplication, but ...

My favorite quote from any college basketball player, ever, was from Louisville's Milt Wagner right before the 1986 NCAA Tournament first round. Louisville drew Drexel in the first round. A sportswriter asked Milt what he thought about Drexel. Milt said, "I really don't know anything about Drexel. It must be one of those academic schools."

You can look it up !

Back in the day, UNC was going to play Georgia in the NCAA tournament and their star player was asked about the game and he admitted that he had no idea where Georgia was even located. I would love to read that story again. It was so classic.

Which inanimate object wins in a cage match?

Pitino's Restaurant Table
Tubby's Bathtub
Sutton's Fed Ex Package
Rose's SAT Test Signature
Morris' Missing Fax
Cal's "The Door"
Sharpe's Bench Chair

I'm going The Bench Chair, for recency bias.

There are so many people in this country that can't pick out the United States on a map of the world. The country they freaking live in, they have no idea where it's located on a map. Pathetic! And also funny! But mostly just pathetic.

I met him that day. It was Halloween. He was visiting Laura Bell Bundy. They were going trick or treating after going to the practice. I didn’t know Pitino threw them out.

Location: 2009-2010 Midnight Madness

A friend of mine brought a basketball with him to Midnight Madness in hopes of getting it autographed by John Wall and Demarcus Cousins and as luck would have it he managed to ask them for an autograph saying

"Hey, can yall humor me and..."


Eric Bledsoe happened to be there as well and interrupted my friend asking for an autograph saying

"Wtf you talking about?"

To which both Wall and Cousins looked at Eric, laughed and the latter said "he's asking for an autograph stupid"

That's how my friend got them to sign the basketball he brought to Midnight Madness.
