I'm 38 and its Rodney Dent. I was in awe of his thunderous dunks I saw live in Rupp as a child.
Who is your favorite wildcat of all-time, and how old are you?

Kyle Macy as a kid
Sky Walker as an adolescent
Mashburn as a young adult
Chuck Hayes as an older adult
MKG and AD as a middle aged fart
Don't think I can narrow it down to just one.

Kyle Macy - 53 - I used to go thru the free throw routine every time playing grade school at Millville grade school in Woodford Co. It was a good routine and calmed me down and helped me shoot 70% at 10.
28. Anthony Davis. I had never seen a player that dominant at blocking shots at UK before (didn’t watch as much NBA as I have more recently), and it was unreal to me. Also, winning the 2012 championship, going #1 in the draft, winning a ring in the NBA, and being a superstar… all of that has been so amazing to see.

Favorite all timer is Kenny sky walker.

Rodney Dent getting a vote in this thread might be the upset of the century.
Jack "GOOSE Givens. Graduated high school the same year as Jack. Our high school team played them in freedom hall pre game before the Colonels played. 65
I'm 58
Charles Hurt was my first favorite.
Kenny Walker loved that dude.
Anthony Davis best player I ever seen at UK.

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.
It was Rex before he went loco so I guess it would be Jamal Mashburn and I am 49.
There are a lot I have enjoyed watching but my favorite of them all is Wayne Turner. Defense minded PG who played at his own pace. 41
im 70, so im gonna say....COTTON NASH, DAN ISSEL, AND LOUIE DAMPIER. I KNOW F I HAD TO PICK JUST ONE IT WOULD BE BIG DAN ISSEL
Bennett was my favorite enforcer. You did not mess with his team mates.
Hell his mean mug alone made most think twice lol
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 !

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.
There was a USA today story about Kentucky/MSU pregame that said something like "If the score is close and the game is late and Scott Padgett gets the ball, Kentucky wins" because he was known nationally as a clutch 3 point shooter.
36, all time favorite is Derek Anderson.
Tayshaun, Wall, Fox, Monk, AD, Randle, T Jones, Bogans, Meeks, Patterson, Cousins. I could name 20 more lol. I like a ton of em.
Obviously Mashburn but I was a tad too young to really recognize how special he was as a player and recruit for us.

Jack Givens, to be clear, is my favorite ALL UK sports athlete. Just a stand up guy.
I am 54 and I don't think I have to say who my favorite is.
He at minimum should at least be in everyone's top 3 who is old enough to have saw him play.
One of the best talent to have ever played at UK and while many have played as hard. Nobody played any harder.
Macy and Anderson and Bowie were also high on my list. But number two on my list is Epps. They don't win in 96 without Epps.
Oh and Ricky Blanton still sucks.
