John Calipari’s son, Brad, is a freshman walk-on for the Kentucky Wildcats.
On Sunday night, Brad got his first crack at taking the court in Lexington with an exhibition match against his father’s alma mater. Kentucky blew out Clarion, 108-51, but it was the youngster whole stole the show with an incredible moment.
Late in the game, Calipari heaved up a three-pointer and banked it through the hoop.
The Kentucky bench went wild celebrating and you could see the pride in his father’s eye while he was trying to hold back a smile. It was a really cool moment on the court.
That celebration was nothing compared to this one. Brad off the glass! pic.twitter.com/WIk2fwOiEb
