Tony Delk Appears on Area 21

Tony Delk is my hero.

My Kentucky fandom was at its absolute peak during the 1996 season. I was in middle school and it seemed like everybody that I went to school with was either North Carolina or Duke fans. They loved it when Kentucky lost. However, that year, Kentucky did not lose much. Two times to be exact on their way to a National Championship. I still consider that team the greatest college basketball team of all time. Tony Delk was a big part of that team.

Delk went onto the NBA as the 16th pick in that 1996 NBA Draft that featured fellow Wildcats Antoine Walker and Walter McCarty.
