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?
You can't argue with the year Jodie had, but Derek to me was the better all around player. More athletic, edge on ability to drive and finish in traffic, and he was a shut down defender. Thats why Pitino started him over Ron Mercer on the 96' team.
I think if Dwight would have played all four years he would be right up there for me, but I am going with the other Anderson for now maybe Jodie after this coming year
