      It’s really True the winners write the history. Towards the late 80s especially 89, the laker players hated Pat and more than likely lost the 89 championship for his unrelenting boot camp practices.

    Pat Riley come on you know how the people in the south felt! Adolf Rupp your coach told you and the team how they felt. You may have felt that you were just playing against a team and not five black guys but your coach did. Everybody knows how Adolf Rupp felt about black people. Adolf Rupp would have a fit if he saw the Kentucky basketball program today.⛹🏾‍♀️

    To me this was the beginning of the end of a time when, I had to, pee my pants as a child because there were no bathrooms available for colored children.
    That game has implications beyond basketball.
