Mount Rushmore... plus one: Ranking the 5 greatest big men in Kentucky basketball history

Let's be honest: trying to name the five greatest big men in the history of Kentucky basketball is a fool's errand. The lineage of legendary power forwards and centers to don the Blue and White is so rich, so dominant, and so iconic that any list is guaranteed to start a fight. It’s like picking your favorite child.

But that’s what we do here. We start the fights.

This isn't just about stats or awards, though those certainly matter. This is about impact, dominance, and what these players meant to the program during their time in Lexington.
