nba ready

We’re NBA-ready, because we’re ready for the NBA.

Ready? We’ve always been ready. The talent that’s come through the Bluegrass has a storied legacy in the pros. The Kentucky Colonels won more games than any other team in the ABA. Wes Unseld, Rajon Rondo, John Wall, Anthony Davis, Karl Anthony-Towns — too many All-Stars and number one picks to name spent their formative years here. We were ready before we had a pro team, when we had a pro team, and now — when we’re the best pick for the newest NBA franchise. No matter what happens, we’re going to keep doing what we’ve specialized in for decades: Funneling generations of athletic brilliance into the league.
