Former Kentucky guard Tyrese Maxey did an interview on The Jim Rome Show earlier this week.
Maxey compared Philadelphia fans to Kentucky fans, talked about how John Calipari prepared him for the next level and said he likely would have gone to Kentucky even if he would have had the option to skip college and go straight to the NBA.
“It was the best,” Maxey said of his time with Calipari at Kentucky. “I was literally just telling somebody… if I was eligible to go to the NBA right after high school, would I have done it? And I told him, I don’t think so because Cal, Kentucky, Lexington, and just college itself was a big part of my life.”
