My guess would be Rondo but I really do not follow the NBA so it truly is a guess.

Bruce, I can remember our players being in the pro's but just did not recall any of them making the NBA all star team except Rondo who I know has made it several times.

Ray, my memory is about as long as my (you know what) but I do have the time and like to look up facts. Both the few all-stars and number of players that played on a NBA championship team surprised me because of all the great players that have gone through our system over the years.
Here is a list of Kentucky players to play on a NBA championship team from 1977 on:
Roby 1 Walker 1 D. Anderson 1 Mohammed 1 Prince 1 Rondo 1 [ 10-25-2014, 07:41 PM: Message edited by: catmandoo ]

GB, Grevey did play with the Washington Bullets when they won the championship in 1978 and I found where Larry Steele was with the Portland trail Blazers who won a title in 1977.

Cousins is one of the best big men in the league and should have been an all star this past season. If he were on a winning team, he would get more buzz in the media. Cousins is a beast.
Anthony Davis should be a perenial all star from here on out. We shall see.

I agree talent wise and stats Cousins is the best but until he changes his attitude and plays in a more controlled way he won't reach his full potential.
