This photo of a young Tubby Smith needs your attention
Oscar Combs showed up to the KSR Lexington studio this morning with this photo of a Richard Pryor look-alike shooting free throws for High Point in the early 70s. The Richard Pryor look-alike is a young Tubby Smith, some 25 years before he coached the Kentucky Wildcats.
What a find.

Is that Sheray Thomas walking off the line before the shot was released?
RICHARD PRYOR !!!
I always thought OTS sounded like Richard Pryor as well, now to see he looked like him…
That is about the number of people left at Rupp after the bluehairs leave at halftime.
You know I am right.
we know you’re dumb but that’s pretty much all we know about you.
Actually, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Blue hairs get knocked for being too quiet and sitting on their hands, not leaving at halftime.
Unlike the Card football Faithful, who do start filing out at halftime, the blue hairs in Rupp stay until there’s only two or three minutes left in the game at least.
The card “faithful” didn’t even start showing up until beer was served
Not true us Louisville fans who are too drunk and pass out stay after half time if we find a comfy quite spot to remove our firearms and fubu gear!
Looks like a Five Easy Pieces-era Jack Nicholson behind him.
That or John McEnroe.
That’s Robic and his hair behind him.
looks more like Phil Lynott (lead singer and bassist for Thin Lizzy)….The Boys ARE Back In Town…LOL
“well, you can tell #33 to have a coke & a smile & shut the…..”
Hate to be that guy, but this is a quote from Eddie Murphy Raw.
yes. him impersonating richard pryor. making fun of the coke commercials pryor did. good effort though
That was Richard Pryors response over Bill Cosby lecturing Eddie Murphy about his language on stage. Bill Cosby did a Coke commercial in the 80s about how it was so good, he had nothing to say.
Must be a slow day in sports, DAMN !!
I prefer the Lou Holtz photo to this one, but this one is good.
Tubby takin the Atlanta Christian five to school!!! Tubby is a Baller!!!!
Pretty sure #33 is actually Fred from “Roseanne”. You may remember him as Danny Noonan from Caddyshack.
thats probably the same UK fans in the background that never wanted him at Kentucky from day one, because of his skin color
#33 looks like a young Austin Idol
That floor on the other side of the course is seriously slanted. Look at it compared to the backboard above and the stands behind it – it’s blowing my mind.
