As far as all-time backcourts that didn't happen...John Wall/Jodie Meeks has to be at the very top.
Not for those of us able to take Wall's dong out of our mouths.
You're right. Watching a team go undefeated and win every game by double digits would've sucked.
There was an attempt to really blow it out. My buddy drew up a set of construction documents for an outdoor grill patio and patio set up and they were chugging along, but they came in and nixed it.
You just say stupid **** sometimes. Ulis/Booker would've been fun to watch. We saw glimpses last season. Favorite backcourt ever? I guess. Should've stopped where Geese left it...shew wee. But no, it had to be your "favorite!!!!!"
Wouldn't have matched John Wall/Jodie Meeks, which would've been 2 1st Team All-Americans playing together. Probably the best team we would've ever had. Might be the greatest team ever assembled without a weakness. Hard to get more "favorite" than that. But hey, keep up the "cute" college basketball takes. Guess Wall/Meeks isn't trendy enough or in the "now".

It is and would have been my favorite, as we talked about all year last year in anticipation.
Here's a fun game: See if you can go one day without talking about John Wall. Then, log out.
Meanwhile, special thanks for informing me what my "favorite" is or would be. That's dope

The Knight and Lamb combo while hitting their stride down the stretch produced some beautiful basketball.
Said it a few weeks ago but for being such a lazy idiot Lamb was a fantastic college player. High IQ, played his best ball when the stakes were the highest, nothing phased him.

HOT TAKE - The 2010 team was Demarcus Cousins' team, not John Wall's.
I know right.
Lamb was also a plus-defender and surprisingly good slasher/finisher in the lane. And didn't need the ball in his hands to be effective, which is getting rarer by the year in basketball.
But the hell with him because bad tweeter.
Maybe...if dude could've played more than 23mpg. That damn team- two PGs and two posts, no wings.
Lamb had a lot of Briscoe's finishing every layup no matter the angle game (not talking about finishing through contact). Must be a CITY GUARD thing
Now I'm really sad. For all these years I thought Epps was my favorite UK point guard, and today I learn it was actually John Wall.
I'm so confused right now. Please help.
[eyeroll]
No love for Wayne Turner? Toss up between he and Epps for dad.
we're all going to end up hating john wall, of course. thanks as always, 73.

So the 96 backcourt trio of Epps (admittedly your favorite PG ever)/Delk (one of UKs greatest players ever and extremely likeable)/Anderson (freak athlete longtime NBA player) that led us to our first title in almost 20 years, doesn't compare to your love for the "almost" Booker/Ulis combo???
Like I said, you say some stupid **** sometimes.
D. Lamb Eat might've been the best college guard John had here. He was a knucklehead, but never on the court. Also, 3 goggles.
I loved John Wall, but he had some struggles during conference play (see shoot, couldn't) that we tend to forget.
The starting lineup intro for UK in New Orleans at the Final Four..
Lamb has this relaxed smirk when he gets introduced and cooly says something to Darius Miller. Always imagined it to be something like.. "Touch these weak *** ninjas. Don't geek."

I pretty much worshipped John Wall, but I find myself liking him less each day, for reasons PTI(pti) mentioned above.
[sick]
..I was under the impression we were talking potential backcourts. '96 seems like a different era, nobody compares to them or ever will, in my opinion. Neither would have your Wall/Meeks team, fwiw.
So no, I wouldn't trade Ulis/Booker for Epps/Delk/Anderson -- naturally, you're the ONLY person who would suggest such a thing.

DO THE JOHN WALL NOW, BBDK, DO THE JOHN WALL NOW
Assume whatever he said had nothing to do with that game or with basketball in general. Probably something like "Wish i had a smoothie"
Probably something about Richie P. Or women with no jobs.
we start reminiscing on our all time favorites, and senor diploma immediately downloads jon scotts entire statistical data portfolio.
good lord, man.
my all time favorite cincinnati red is jose rijo. go check out baseball-reference.com for a few days and draw me up a dissertation to disprove that theory. good luck!!

Really have to watch that opinion/fact qualification with BBdK. He's a master at blending the two and inciting rage is his desired result.
smokey pearl >>>>> 73.
ill explain with a barrage of statistics later, but just trust me for now.
(note: entirely possible they are the same person)

See around the 2:40 mark for exhibit A for BBdK's favorite backcourt selection. Filthy. :raised_hands:
I want to get in on the 73 bashing, but is anyone else just really hating BBdK right now? It's like I want to reach through my screen and just backhand him something good. Oh well. It will fade, I guess.

...John Wall is your all time favorite UK player lololololol. And you wanna talk about getting caught up in hype.
Mods: Please Ban '73 & Chad.

True. People love to remember the highlights and that team was full of them, and personality. But, there were also a lot of grind it out games that season for many of the reasons I mentioned in my prior rant...and because of the makeup of that team (see shoot, couldn't). That's why they weren't as good as 12' and Matt Jones is wrong every time he lists Cal's best teams on his show (which happens several times a year) and puts 10' at the top.
I would also add that Cal is more than happy to go into prevent offense in the last ten minutes of a game if we are up 12+. One of my biggest Cal gripes ==> go coach the Nets, jackass!
