Dan Issel made a special guest appearance on Kentucky Sports Radio radio Friday morning during the show’s live broadcast in Lexington. The UK legend stopped by to tell stories from his time as a Wildcat and to update KSR on NBA2Lou’s push to bring an NBA franchise to Kentucky.
Among the many other topics that came up throughout the show, Issel reminisced on game days at Memorial Coliseum, sneaking his friends into games, guarding Pistol Pete and playing for the best fan base. “The way that Kentucky fans feel about basketball and their basketball players, it’s gotta be the greatest program in the country,” he said.
