Devin Armani Booker is an old soul. He collects vintage cars, enjoys stories from the past, and prefers old-school ’90s-era cameras over iPhones. He is now representing the United States of America for the second time in the Olympics and documenting his adventures on an aforementioned historic camcorder, the likes of which your dad probably used to record you opening Christmas presents as a child. The nearly three-minute montage posted on Booker’s Instagram features several behind-the-scenes shots of the men’s team on the bus, walking through the streets of Paris, and of course, cruising on a ...

25 percent of the USA Men’s Olympic basketball roster went to the University of Kentucky. That is a remarkable stat that we know is true but still unbelievable. On Sunday, the team officially got their quest for gold underway in group play against Serbia, a team led by the man who edged out Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for NBA MVP this season, Nikola Jokic. And just like a World War, America came out on top. Devin Booker, Anthony Davis, and Bam Adebayo combined for 23 points for the Fighting Uncle Sams, as the good guys took down Serbia 110-84. Book got the start and was extremely efficient with th...

July is not the best month when it comes to the sports calendar, but it is an important one. When the Summer Olympics arrive once every fourth year, it does help to pass the time. But what always seems like the longest month of the year is starting its final week. August is coming, and that means the birth of restarts. The NFL will begin preseason games, Kentucky will begin fall training camp, the kids return to school, and Kentucky will host the Big Blue Nation for a Week 1 contest for Kentucky vs. Southern Miss under the lights at Kroger Field to begin college football season. Summer is almo...

The Fighting Maple Leaves of Canada kicked off the Parisian Olympics strong on Saturday, winning their opening game over Giannis Antetokounmpo and Team Greece. Just like the USA, Canada features three former Kentucky stars on their roster, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jamal Murray, and Trey Lyles, and all three helped seal the victory for our buddies up north. Canada held a comfortable lead most of the game, but a 10-0 Greece run late in the 4th quarter made it a two-point game with one minute left in the game. That’s when Team Canada gave the ball to Gilgous-Alexander and got out of the way. SGA ...

Anthony Davis‘ post-college career has been the most successful by a Kentucky men’s basketball player throughout program history — and it’s not really close (although we see you, Dan Issel). At Kentucky, Davis was an absolute star, leading the Wildcats to a 2012 national championship while winning National Player of the Year along the way. Just a month after winning a title, he was helping Team USA take home gold in the 2012 Olympics. But since making the leap to the pros as a No. 1 draft pick, there haven’t been many players in the entire league than The Brow. In fact, ESPN would tell you the...

Antonio Reeves can settle into his new home in New Orleans. The former Cat has agreed to a three-year, $5.41 million deal with the Pelicans, according to Hoops Hype’s Michael Scotto. The third year is a team option. Reeves was selected by the Orlando Magic with the No. 47 pick in last month’s draft and traded to the Pelicans. He performed well in the NBA Summer League, averaging 11.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 22.2 minutes over five games, shooting 41.2% from the floor and 32% from three. The Pelicans lost all five games in Las Vegas, but Reeves was still able to show...

For a Tuesday in late July, we sure have a lot of Kentucky Basketball to talk about. Tonight, the former Cats on La Familia take on Herd That at Rupp Arena for a spot in The Basketball Tournament quarterfinals. Before that, we’ll get to hear from some current Cats about Kentucky’s summer workouts. Add in some recruiting news and you’d never know it was the offseason. Let’s start with TBT since it’s the talk of the Bluegrass. No. 2 La Familia vs. No. 1 Herd That in TBT Sweet 16La Familia won its first two TBT games in relatively dominant fashion, beating 305 Ballers by 26 points in the opener a...

Reed Sheppard didn’t even need to play his final Summer League game to secure his spot as a top overall performer. On Monday afternoon, the NBA announced its two All-Summer League teams where Sheppard was named to the First Team. Drafted by the Houston Rockets with the No. 3 overall pick in June, Sheppard lit up Las Vegas throughout his four games played. He averaged 20 points, 5.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 steals, and 1.3 blocks in 33.1 minutes per outing. The former Kentucky Wildcat shot 50 percent from the floor, 27.8 percent from deep, and 75 percent from the free throw line. Sheppard was...

The final two exhibitions haven’t been pretty for Team USA, but wins are still wins. On Monday in London, the Americans held off Germany by a final score of 92-88 in the final pre-Olympic matchup before heading off to Paris later this month. Team USA just narrowly defeated South Sudan on Saturday, 101-100, thanks to a go-ahead game-winning layup from LeBron James despite entering as 43-point favorites. Like South Sudan, Germany gave everything that Team USA could handle, leading for big chunks of Monday’s exhibition before coming up just short down the stretch. James scored 11 points in the fi...

The NBA Summer League wraps up tonight with the championship game between Memphis and Miami. While there aren’t any former Kentucky Wildcats on those rosters, the Cats are still the talk of the town in Sin City, specifically Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham. Dillingham finished his Summer League run strong on Sunday, putting up a game-high 25 points and 12 assists in Minnesota’s win over Orlando. After four somewhat lackluster games, Dillingham was electric vs. the Magic, showing that he’s worthy of a top-ten draft pick. He was 11-18 from the floor, including 3-7 from three, and was just as go...
