his final season as a Jayhawk.
As the NBA says goodbye to Kobe Bryant in each arena this season, college basketball is doing the same for Ellis, because it has truly been a long and remarkable ride for the veteran forward, one full of decades of memories.
Today I would like to pay tribute to Ellis for everything he has given the sport throughout his illustrious career. I’m no Kansas basketball fan by any means, but I respect the game’s greats and admire the longevity of Ellis’ run, though we may never know how he was able to remain a student-athlete for so long.
