Kentucky Basketball is College Basketball

Kentucky Basketball is arguably the greatest program in the history of College Basketball. Picking a list of 25 best players is probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. There have been so many. Adolph Rupp could’ve probably had 25 of his own players make this list. Joe B. Hall and Tubby Smith have coached some great players as well. With eight National Championships to call their own, some of the greatest college basketball players of all time called Lexington their home.

John Calipari is grooming the new wave of Kentucky Basketball greats. Two of his players made this list. Patrick Patterson is the exception since Calipari joined the program during his final season.

All debates aside, there are some names that aren’t on this list that some might think should be. That’s okay. It’s the problem we have at Kentucky. There’s too many gold coins in the chest to choose from.
