Shortly after Bam Adebayo was selected by the Miami Heat, Calipari took center stage on the ESPN set, forcing the draft to a screeching halt and preventing Milwaukee Bucks' fans from learning their pick. He used the platform to bark back at the one and done critics and do a little recruiting.
"They're talking about one and done. It's not broken. It isn't broken," he exclaimed. "My kids finish the term. They're on lifetime scholarships. Can I recruit a little bit?"
Cal also shared a compliment he received from Pat Riley, why he thought Malik Monk would be drafted by the Knicks and much more.
