How do you forget the unforgettables lol heart is what made Kentucky make that comeback, the guys that stayed through those bad times only to play in arguably the best (and worst) game in ncaa history. Pitino absolutely best coach, but yeah mash came in with that tough mindset with heart as well.
I met Jamal at my hometown in Russell County Kentucky at lake Cumberland where Jamal used to dock his boat at the marina.. his boat was a large cruiser with the name on the back (monster Mash) port of Miami!!!!! He was a Kentucky superstar!!!
Damn Christian Laettener!!!!!!! I remember that game. I went outside, laid in the wet grass and screamed at the sky! Rick Pitino…legend and same for Jamal. Thank you both for what you did for the UK program. Living in KY, have been a fan all my life! GO ‘CATS!!!!!
Jamal hit the Cal subject right on the money. Cal continues to have a team that can make a run every year. Cal haters are so focused on hating him that they forget to support the program. It’s sad really.#BBN
@@twally4966 nobody out there that I would rather have then Cal at the moment. Billy Donovan isn’t walking through that door anytime soon, prolly never. I agree with Jamal on this as well, Pearl is the only coach out there that could handle the gauntlet of being a UK coach.
Met Mashburn at Pitino's camp in early 90's after he just signed a deal with Fila. Part of the deal was a Ferrari but Mash had to trade it in bc he couldn't drive a stick shift.
Sorry, but I call BS. Mash is one of my all time favorites and I have been watching UK basketball since 1969 since I was a little boy. Hell, I even graduated from UK after the Marines. But, Cal needs to go. He has taken advantage of the good faith of the Kentucky faithful and has underperformed for many seasons. I don't give a damn about how many players he has sent to the pros. I am sick of him and Barnhart, and sick of Kentucky basketball. Me and my business will no longer help support the athletic program at UK, as I have done faithfully with cash since I was fortunate to have my business take off in the 90's. I am done with him and Barnhart. Mark my words, things are going to get very ugly next season.
Amen! There’s too many people drinking the Cal piss. I want John Pelphry as the head coach. Travis Ford as the guard coach, Jamal as the big man coach. But again, till everyone stops drinking the Cal piss and we can fire Mitch Barnfart and Cal were stuck with,, “ You gotta remember, these guys are freshmen”. Rupp will be empty this season, and won’t waste 2 hours out of my day to watch them.
Cal can recruit he can’t win one championship in 15 years the players he’s coached and went to the RBA would have gone regardless where they went to college for 1 year he’s a tool and vacated entire seasons for 2 schools people only remember who won not the players the coach had. He’s had NBA all star rosters and couldn’t win a championship. Great coaches do more with less. Also rankings these high school players is stupid he’s got 2 players coming off the bench that are hands down better players than 2 starters but oh wait they were ranked in the top 5 players coming out of high school. The soon to be player of the year in the SEC where was he ranked???? Easy to manipulate a kid with all the NBA players that played there and their stuff all over the walls and office but only 1 trophy.
Jamal and Pitino … the saviors of UK. Most uk fans don’t know that or forgot that… this man is a legend.

@@andyship1800 yeah I agree, he was the big name. The other guys was the heart and soul. Pitino is second in my opinion to Mike K.
Jamal Mashburn was my all-time favorite player for Kentucky. Extremely fun to watch and pretty much unstoppable.
God this guy and that UK team defined my youth! Mash and Pitino will always be in my heart!

Christian Leitner
Is still the biggest disappointment of all Kentucky fans… but we still love the Mash!!❤
Monster Mash! One of the greatest to ever wear the UK jersey. I will forever be grateful to have experienced the 90s.
Monster Mash is without a doubt one of my favorite players, hell of a post up guy.

One of the all time uk greats
Mashburn, Delk, Prince, Hayes, Sheppard the elder my all time favorite cats!
I met Jamal when he played for Kentucky. Extremely nice person. 😊

Cal is one of few that can handle, doesn’t win as much as I want but like Jamal said the grass ain’t always greener. Who would replace him?
@@twally4966 nobody out there that I would rather have then Cal at the moment. Billy Donovan isn’t walking through that door anytime soon, prolly never. I agree with Jamal on this as well, Pearl is the only coach out there that could handle the gauntlet of being a UK coach.
Keep drinking the Cal piss.
The Monster Mash is my childhood hero with what he did for UK and my all time favorite UK player.
Love “The Monster Mash!!!”
Always great to see Mashburn. He's been a star on and off the court. The NCAA should pay him to give a financial literacy clinic to athletes.

Your going have whinners no matter how good of a season you have and they call them selves BBN lmao
I call them people with brains.
Mashburns son is in the portal. He wants his son to go to Kentucky. More NIL money.
