When it comes to Kentucky players, much like UNC’s, we atavistically dislike them.
There are exceptions of course. We thought Theo Pinson was a cool guy and respected Marcus Paige a great deal. Before he was at UK, De’Aaron Fox went way out of his way to look after a disabled classmate which made a big impression on us.
For the most part though, we like making fun of Tar Heels and Wildcats until circumstances dictate otherwise.
In the case of Enes Kanter, consider them dictated.
We preface this by saying we have no interest at all in political issues within Turkey.
