The University of Kentucky is one of the most prestigious basketball-playing institutes in the United States of America. The 8-time NCAA champions have seen some of the most talented athletes that high school had to offer. NBA superstars Anthony Davis, Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker, and Bam Adebayo, among several others, have been a part of the distinguished programs.
Recently, Adebayo was asked to reveal the alums on his all-time Kentucky Wildcats starting 5. In an interview with Kaz Brown, the Miami Heat’s 3-time All-Star named De’Aaron Fox, Devin Booker, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Karl-Anthony Towns, and DeMarcus Cousins.
This is an elite list of respected NBA stars, however, the exclusion of Davis comes as a big shock.

NBA Twitter reacts as Bam Adebayo snubs Anthony Davis from his all-time Kentucky starting 5
Not having AD on the list is truly a shock. During his lone season as a Wildcat, The Brow won the USBWA’s Robertson trophy, Adolph Ruud trophy, John R. Wooden trophy, was named Associated Press College Basketball Player of the Year, Naismith College Player of the Year, NCAA Basketball Tournament Most Outstanding Player, and till date holds several program records.
NBA Twitter was taken back after seeing the list of players on Bam’s all-time Kentucky starting 5.
Each of these players is a Wildcat legend in their own right. As much as the Anthony Davis snub feels surprising, we have to respect the list Bam has created.
