Just curious who everyone's favorite player is and who made them fall in love with UK Basketball? I'm 36 and mine is definitely Jamal Mashburn! He made me love Kentucky basketball

I was born into it and knew a good thing when I saw it.
My first favorite player was Jim Master. Then Kenny Walker. Then Mash. Then DA. Then Jeff Sheppard. Then Rondo. Then John Wall. Then Aaron Harrison. Then Tyler Ulis. Jamal Murray. Malik Monk. Reed and Rob.
I am a uk fan because of family and they created the fake importance to all of it. I still live with it and have passed it down to my children.
Bc he gets the nod as the best player to ever to play at uk. Having a personal connection to a player is a tad different. Also i was in my 20s when ad played. I feel like your favorite player is usually made at a young age and most of those ppl arent on rafters due to other social mediaYou know I always find it, I don’t know, interesting that every time there’s a thread like this, hardly anyone names AD in their top 3-5. I know he’s a OAD but so was gilchrist and a few others that I see people name. It’s really strange. I think it might have to do with his style of play.

Hell he’s not even in my top 5 lol.
I love AD, and probably not fair to leave him out. To be fair though, MKG was my favorite player on that team.You know I always find it, I don’t know, interesting that every time there’s a thread like this, hardly anyone names AD in their top 3-5. I know he’s a OAD but so was gilchrist and a few others that I see people name. It’s really strange. I think it might have to do with his style of play.

Same, basically. Except I’ll be 51 in July & would add Dirk Minniefield to Master, Turpin & Bowie. Also really liked Derrick Hord & Kenny Walker. But, Macy was my first favorite player, too. Pure shooters like him & Master have always had a special place in my heart.I'm 52. For me, it was Kyle Macy and then Jim Master, followed by the twin towers, Sam Bowie and Mel Turpin. I was Kyle Macy when I was shooting on my goal as a kid in the 80s. 😀
Interesting new screen name. I like it.Right on same here. My kids know the deal.
But I wouldn’t say it’s fake importance, more like life or death type sh.
Amirite? Amirite?
Also, if cocaine had a face….
These guys could have suited up for the football Cats. Which reminds me, didn't Derrick Ramsey join the basketball team for a semester or a year?Phillips, Robey, Givens, & Lee
