Rodney Dent getting a vote in this thread might be the upset of the century.I'm 38 and its Rodney Dent. I was in awe of his thunderous dunks I saw live in Rupp as a child.
Kenny Walker, if forced to choose. Just loved how he played all-out all the time. Total effort plus high flying rim rattling game = fun to watch. I'm 57, and that '86 team is still one of my top 3 non-title winning favorites. Really a toss up between that team and the unforgettables.Name your single (one) favorite UK basketball player of all time, and your age. Also tell why, or a story, if you want.
mine is Tayshaun Prince, and I’m 39. I used to go to Uk’s camps when I was in high school ( beginning of Tubby era). This was pre social media and YouTube, almost pre mainstream internet as we know it today. So we didn’t get all the crazy recruiting info and buzz around all the kids we have today, plus I was about a 16 or 17 year old kid myself: The high school aged kids in the camp would all have a current player or incoming recruit coach a team. Our coach was incoming freshmen and McDonald’s AA tayshaun prince. He was 2 years older than me and personified cool. And he couldn’t have been nicer. He coached our team that week, we won the camp tournament, he went on to do big things at Uk… I just loved his silky smooth left handed stroke, his defense, his tenacity. He was clutch.. The 5 3’s against UNc to start the game, the last one just across half court…. “HE’s NOT A PRINCE HE’S A KING’”.. is legendary and something I will never forget. 4 years, 1,775 points (8th all-time). Loved by fans. IMO his Jersey should be hanging in Rupp.
Bennett was my favorite enforcer. You did not mess with his team mates.50 Sam Bowie, Skywalker, and Winston Bennett
Hell his mean mug alone made most think twice lolBennett was my favorite enforcer. You did not mess with his team mates.
As you undoubtely know, Pursiful was a senior when Cotton Nash was a sophomore. As I said in an earlier post in this thread, Cotton has always been my favorite. I'm sure you also know that the 'Cats were ranked No. 3 when they ran up against Jerry Lucas and John Havlicek and their No. 1 Ohio State team in the 1962 NCAA Regional Final at Iowa City. Cotton had a bad shooting night. Pursiful led the 'Cats in that game with 21 points. Lucas had 33 points and 15 rebounds for Ohio State, and the Buckeyes won by 10. It hurt me that the 'Cats missed going to the Final Four that year !Larry pursiful first one for me than pat riley then mike pratt
I am 76 , there are fourHell his mean mug alone made most think twice lol
I thought I would be the only one to say SP but I am pleasantly surprised to see a few in here. The look on his face when he walked off the court for the last time after the entire Michigan State team denied him getting the ball because they knew he'd make it... the "clutchness" he was from 3 in big situations, the way he played the game... my favorite.73, Scott Padgett
