It's been an interesting summer for Kentucky Wildcats coach John Calipari, who, when not feigning rumors of him joining the New York Knicks, riding camels out in Egypt, or combing the streets looking for a rim to dunk on, is busy getting ambushed by TMZ reporters for an interview. And that's exactly what happened over the weekend, when Calipari and TMZ Sports crossed paths, resulting to him being asked about the possibility of a group of Kentucky alumni joining together to form an NBA super team.
University of Kentucky coaching legend John Calipari says he'd love to see his Wildcats link up in the NBA and make a run at a title … but tells TMZ Sports, he'd NEVER coach the group.
Kentucky has long been a producer of top-flight NBA talents and a national collegiate powerhouse that the school has been included in some crazy, barbershop debates before. Take for example the time when the Philadelphia 76ers were so bad in 2014 that several people actually thought that the Wildcats, then with Julius Randle, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Devin Booker, would actually beat the Sixers.
An NBA team composed of ex-Wildcats would be scary. A backcourt of Eric Bledsoe and John Wall, and a frontcourt made up of Towns, DeMarcus Cousins, and Anthony Davis is already devastating on paper. That's not to include a deep bench that surely would have the likes of Willie Cauley-Stein, Terrence Jones, Brandon Knight, Rajon Rondo, and Patrick Patterson to name a few. Not even Calipari and his recruitment prowess could pull off the feat of making a team like that, though.
