“You can tell the NBA story without Kentucky,” Colin Cowherd said during his daily show, The Herd, on Monday afternoon.
Cowherd went on to say Kentucky has had multiple busts and players who were too immature to succeed in the NBA, giving examples of Sam Bowie and DeMarcus Cousins. He also went on to say “It’s the University of underwhelming at Lexington.”
Chris Broussard, NBA Analyst for Fox Sports, stopped by The Herd to discuss the topic. His main point to why Cowherd was wrong: Pat Riley.
Riley, former Wildcat and SEC player of the year (1966), has been one of the marquee faces of the NBA since the early 1980’s.
