Two Dunks From the Vault
Occasionally, we at the BBL like to take a quick look back into the treasure trove that is UK hoops history.
One of the most underrated Cats in recent memory, Kelenna Azubuike was a scorer supreme and a serious highwire act. Check out this ridiculous in-traffic stuff from a 2005 game vs. South Carolina.
Azubuike had a breakout year with Golden State last season, averaging nearly 15 points and 5 rebounds per contest. He looks primed to carry on the mantle of great former UK products in the NBA.
And don’t forget about leaper extraordinaire Jeff Sheppard, who made scenes like this a regular occurrence in the late ‘90s.
As we all know, Sheppard led the Wildcats to their 7th and most recent national title that year before having an NBA cup of tea with the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors between 1998-2000.
