In sports one of the highest honors a player can recieve is to have his number retired, never to be used again. In Chicago there will be no more #23 for the Bulls, no #3 in New York for the Yankees, or #13 in Miami for the Dolphins. Just mentioning these sacred numbers and people will know exactly who is being discussed.
But what about at UK? Here at the University of Kentucky they don't retire the numbers, but the jersey's of the greats who wear them. But what if the they did retire the numbers? Who would be the very best? Would #24 be Mashburn or Walker? Would #10 be Dampier, Minniefield, or Bogans?
Based on the numbers, it looks like Daniels is probably the best player of the group. Heshimu was a huge part of the '98 championship, but I was a big Erik Daniels fan as well.
Grammy, Erik played in the NBA Developmental League this past season and averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds a game. He got a taste of the NBA back in his rookie season, but has floated around Europe and the NBDL since then.
Erik Daniels may not be the best to wear #14 but he got my vote anyway. I just loved that kid! Anyone know where he is and what he is doing these days?
