Kentucky basketball's all-time leading scorer, Valerie Still, learning to live with life after hoops

If you ask the majority of Kentucky fans which player has scored more points on the hardwood than any Wildcat in history, Dan Issel (1966-70) would likely come back as the consensus. The Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer finished with 2,138 points in just three years on varsity in Lexington, establishing himself as a legend within the Big Blue Nation. Another popular response might be Kenny “Sky” Walker and his 2,080 points or Jack “Goose” Givens and his 2,038. But none of them would be correct.

The answer is Valerie Still, who finished with an incredible 2,763 points over her four seasons with Kentucky women’s basketball from 1979-83.
