Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms in the Big Blue Nation! If you’re a husband/father and you’re reading this, I hope you’ve taken care of business this morning with breakfast in bed and gifts aplenty.
One of the most prominent moms in BBN is Ellen Calipari. As the Matriarch of her family, it appears that she wields as much if not more power than her husband does on the court. The love and adoration she receives from her children reminds me of how I feel about my own mother.

Cal took a break from living his best life in Italy and did some basketball stuff. Back to pictures if the Italian cliffside from a boat.
To all the mothers, it’s your day today
