Dime Magazine says Calipari a Loser on Draft Night

I guess someone can always find a way to be a hater and this time it is Freddy Lopez from Dime Magazine.

He says Cal was one of the top 10 losers on Draft Night because he spoke highly of his players.

Interesting viewpoint to say the least.

[COLOR=#666666][FONT=Georgia]How can John Calipari be a loser on draft night when all six of his Wildcats got selected? He’s a loser because he and Big Blue Nation had grandeur expectations of these draftees after winning their first national championship in a cool minute. In classic Calipari fashion, he arrogantly believed that all six of these guys should be first-round picks. He wants to outperform and brag about how many recruits he can get into the first round mix every year. These draftees couldn’t even match the five Wildcats that were headlined by [/FONT][/COLOR][B]John Wall[/B][COLOR=#666666][FONT=Georgia] in 2010. Calipari should always be held to a higher standard than the rest of his collegiate coaching peers because of his personality and bravado.

This guy also said that Michael Jordan was the biggest loser because he picked MKG at #2.

I guess you can’t make everyone happy, but I actually love the hate.

If they aren’t talking about you, then you just aren’t important.
