…Anthony Davis, Kyle Wiltjer, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marquis Teague, Chane Behanan and Wayne Blackshear were all playing in the McDonald’s All-American game last year. And talking trash. LOTS of trash.
From the archives of KSR, this video and post by Ashley Scoby showcases what the UK and UL players thought about playing for the greatest rivalry one year ago today:
This is a really fun video to watch again, or for the first time if you missed it last year. With most Final Four games, the players don’t really know each other, but with a Kentucky-Louisville game for a spot in the national championship… the relationships among these guys, off the court at least, are really fun to watch, and really add something special to what’s set to already be an awesome game on Saturday.
This is about 10 minutes long, but is really comical, and a perfect way to prep for the weekend. Anthony Davis has normally been pretty quiet this year, but he’s pretty hysterical in this video. Chane Behanan is Chane Behanan, and MKG makes an appearance about halfway through. The whole thing is definitely worth a watch.
Watching this video last year, who would have dreamed that these six guys would be playing each other in a game of this magnitude this weekend?

THE WILDCATS WERE THE DOM AND THE CARDS WERE THE SUBMISSIVE…AND THAT’S ABOUT ALL I’VE GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT

Anthony Davis correctly predicted the combined point total of Behanan and Blackshear in the first meeting

In the words of Stone Cold Willow….Cards are red, Cats are blue. We have 7 and they have 2. #blowmecards #Louisvilledoesntexist

That really is amazing. Mutual respect is a beautiful thing.
And man, talk about backing up your trash talking with results. Final Four in word and deed.
Now bring it.

Funny that Mr. Davis is hating on Morehead State in that interview…..He’s going to be lucky to have a rookie year like Faried is having, next year….Davis and his 175 pound frame will not be blocking shots and scoring at the next level….He will be the worst #1 pick of all time…Worse the Andrea Bargani, worse then Kwami

16) Davis hating on Morehead St? What are you smokin’? He was giving you guys props for beating U of L.

@ 16
Even if you correct about Davis, he’ll see more money in a day than you’ll ever see in your lifetime while working at the gas station.

And that is why I am not worried about the hype of UL vs UK. Its the fans NOT the players that are caught up in the rivalry.

Our kids handle themselves well. This video is exactly why Kentucky gets any recruit they want-our brand is cool and only the cool kids are allowed to play for us.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:37 pm

March 28th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
