Kenny Walker was a dynamic 6-foot-8 forward who could score the basketball. In fact, Walker is second in the All-Time points list at Kentucky. Also, with 942 rebounds he ranks eight all time. Walker was a player that liked to fly high and rip down the rim. His nickname was rightfully earned as the big man liked to “Sky” through the air for some highlight reel action. Walker helped lead the Wildcats to the 1984 Final Four.
