Looks like we may have overlooked this Mclemore kid

[gatoveintisiete]

Probably should have offered him a scholorship.

[kim carnes]

Hindsight is 20/20

[michigancat]

I think we offered pretty early. We were definitely in on him before Self.

[Dugout DickStone]

Did he finally qualify?

[star seed 7]

how conflicted was ben during this game?

[jtksu]

Kid would be fantastic if those refs would just let him play. 

[AbeFroman]

He's really whipping the ku fanbase into a frenzy, they can't get enough of him. Check out how packed the 18,000 seat Sprint Center looked 13 minutes before tip off

haters gonna hate

Dear Ben,

Get out now, he will ruin you.

Sincerely,

This isn't just about McLemore, and I may piss off some of the supaSutton lovers, but why would a basketball player ever wear #23? It should be retired from the sport of basketball. When I think of #0, I will always think of Pullen. Even KU fans will think of him instead of Gooden, because he made he made a name for his number. I will never see #23 and think of anyone besides MJ. No one will. I hated Lebron before he changed to #6. I don't see why anyone would want to live in that shadow.

Great point.  Is any other number that transcendent in a sport?

9 or 99 in hockey.  In soccer numbers are somewhat associated with positions, so lots of #9's and #10's there too.

I don't think any player in any sport is held in as high of regard as MJ. No one could agree on who the best football player of all time is. Or soccer, or baseball, etc. So what I'm getting at is no.

Okay, KK. Tell me the indisputable best football player, best hockey player, best soccer player, or best baseball player. Just one will suffice.

This would be relevant if he had a jersey number. Why don't you go ahead and leave sports talk to the big boys?

[bones129]

He would have been good here.

[JimmyChitwood]

#23, #33, and #32 are jersey numbers that should all be retired. #23 would be at the top though.

[sys]

We were definitely in on him before Self.

i was.  kstate wasn't.

You made a variety of absurd statements.  I just responded to one of them.

Jackie Robinson's #42 is retired in baseball.

[O-town Kat]

Pele #10 always gets missed in these debates but that's soccer for you.  Will be a super big deal globally when he dies.

[jtksu]

Jackie Robinson's #42 is retired in baseball.

Unless you play for the Yankees.
