As one of the four Unforgettables, Deron Feldhaus will be remembered as a member of the Wildcat team responsible for bringing Kentucky basketball back from the depths of probation to respectability and prominence.
Former Kentucky basketball great Kenny “Sky” Walker used to use his towering 6-foot-8 frame to soar through the air in Rupp Arena, Madison Square Garden and throughout the world. When he was in the air, he seemed invincible. Yet sometimes even the most invincible of figures can seem vulnerable.
After helping his teams win two national championships at Kentucky (1996 and 1998), Cameron Mills has been involved in ministry ever since.
Bradley is scoring a team-leading 27.5 points per game on 63 percent shooting through the first two games of the season. The Brooklyn native is also averaging four rebounds and 3.5 steals. Bradley’s recent stellar play can be attributed to his perseverance. Maccabi Ashdod is his third overseas team in four years.
Perhaps at the top of the list of Wildcat icons — those most responsible for erecting UK basketball into what it is today — sits Cotton Nash. Nash, who played for the Cats from 1962 to 1964, remains, more than 50 years after his graduation, one of the most illustrious performers to ever don “Kentucky” across his chest.
