Kentucky Basketball: Get Off My Wall

I am not ready to tune in now. Before we witnessed Jimmy in the blue and white, some might have thought he could emit the all-about-me attitude. Nothing could be farther from the truth. He always involved the team. His work attitude was reflected in his GPA, and reports of being a “beast in the gym”. We watched (in awe) the basketball gears turning in his mind. We even wondered (a lot) how he made some incredible shots. When he committed every single turnover, one could almost feel John thinking how to never do it again. He has a basketball mind.

How great it is to have more than a couple former Wildcats shining at the next level. They all seem a bit like our sons, and we are proud of them.

Any UK fan knows that John Wall is a very unselfish player and is just out there trying to help his team win any way he can. It’s also great to see Eric Bledsoe doing well. If DeMarcus Cousins can just learn to limit his fouls and if Patrick Patterson can resurface from wherever he is it will only make UK that much more attractive to top level recruits.

something the other day when i was joking about Rondo schooling Wall….now we get this guy spitting forth some crazy vitriol about Wall.

Wall is a badass mofo and deserves to recognized for his contributions to his team not ripped for trying to bring some fun to a GAME!

I only agree with ol boy on one thing…right now I’d take Rondo over Wall just because of his experience.

Tru nailed it when he said

On a lighter and more positive note, how cool is it to have John Wall and Rajon Rondo in the league getting all this attention? If that doesn’t make you feel good as a Kentucky fan, I suggest you move to Louisville, don the red and black, and cheer for Rick Pitino’s team.

This isn’t new for him. This is his schtick. He tries to get attention and listeners/viewers with his inflamatory comments, and unfortunately it works.

Best to not give him the satisfaction of attention.

Obviously those here who saw and listened to Wall know what this guy said is utterly false. It was an unwarranted character attack on a classy, unselfish, person and player. Wall broke UK’s assist record, was always gracious in interviews, and did well in school despite knowing the riches that awaited him in a few short months. He is about winning and team, and he did what was asked of him by a coach. He is also, apparently, a good dancer.

Also, Rondo wasn’t Wall as a rookie.
Rondo’s TOTALS first 3 games: 5 TO, 9 Assists, 17 points. Rono’s record after 3 games: 0-3.
Walls Totals first 3 games: 14 TO, 31 Assists (only tying the NBA record for a player’s first 3 games), 72 points. Wall’s record: 1-2.

Yes, Colin is a void surrounded by a sphincter muscle.
Yeah, I posted much of this somewhere else too, but it bears repeating here.

on Twitter you probably already saw this, but for you non-twitterer’s out there or perhaps you missed it, he had this to say about UK players in the NBA awhile ago:

“Wow! Kentucky now has 7 players starting in the NBA. Just heard, UK also leads the SEC with 13 players opening the season on an NBA roster.”

That’s so cool.

he can be so very aggravating. However he isnt always a d-bag like so many like to claim. His analogies don’t always work and he was wrong on so many levels here.

The bottom line is that anyone in the opinion business is going to be thought of as an idiot, especially if they say something bad about your team or favorite player.

I don’t know this Cowherd/Cowheard so it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to comment about him. However I will take the word and testimony of the ASoB members.

As for Wall and Rondo, They are obviously both GREAT ex-UK players. It does seem that I remember that Wall had a game with the Cats where he handed out 21 assists in that one game. I think that’s close.

that is how he stays in the lime light, he disses everyone but his man crush tom brady, i mean when you have nothing of value to say then say the exact opposite of what is true…crappy commentary 101

collin is very biased toward the athletes he likes(white or black)
dummy comparing rondo to wall…lol give wall a few years and oh yea HALL OF FAME teammates and see if his t.o dont go down and his assist up

For those in the Louisville area who are interested, the Dillard vs. UK game will be on Insight Channels 10 & 70 at 7:00 PM Friday night. Go Big Blue!

Cowherd, as has been said before, is exactly what’s wrong with sports talk radio, and why I seldom venture outside of the local shows.

I read the article and hope you’re right. It’s true that I have twice predicted that the NCAA would not allow Kanter to play
for UK but, I really hope that they do.

I happened to catch this while driving around doing errands. I was so unbelieveably p*ssed by the time he was done!
 Ken is absolutely correct, he is exactly what its wrong w/ sports talk radio today! He spouts inflammatory, uninformed statements, repeats himself over and over and lets it be known he feels his opinion is the only one that is right!
Cowherd is an A+ d-bag!

Its pretty sad when even Doug Gottllieb calls you out on your ridiculous statement. Ouch!!!
