Every time a roommate received NBA 2K for Christmas, it was only a matter of days before we assembled an All-UK team to destroy the rest of the NBA in dynasty mode.  Before returning to campus, De’Aaron Fox decided to do the same thing, but he took it one step further.

The Kentucky point guard assembled an All-UK team to face an All-Duke team to prove who’s best.  After looking at the rosters, it ain’t hard to tell.

Duke

  • Jahlil Okafor
  • Jabari Parker
  • Luol Deng
  • J.J. Reddick
  • Justice Winslow
  • Gerald Henderson
  • Rodney Hood
  • Mason Plumlee
  • Austin Rivers
  • Kyle Singler
  • Tyus Jones
  • Gorgui Dieng (Louisville, Duke, what’s the difference?)

Kentucky

  • DeMarcus Cousins
  • Anthony Davis
  • Brandon Knight
  • Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
  • Eric Bledsoe
  • John Wall
  • Devin Booker
  • Julius Randle
  • Karl-Anthony Towns
  • Nerlens Noel
  • Enes Kanter
  • Terrence Jones

How much better was the Kentucky team?  A LOT better.

Needless to say, the game was over before it started, even though it was played at Cameron Indoor.  Here’s the score after a quarter:

Fox put a beatdown on Duke, winning 125-76, a score we will hopefully see if the two teams meet in the NCAA Tournament.  Just for fun, here’s the box score:
