LISTEN: Kellan Grady reflects on his Kentucky career on KSR

Kellan Grady‘s interview on KSR included some news — he battled plantar fasciitis through the season — and plenty of memories, some good, some bad. The super-senior guard sat down with Matt for two segments to reflect on his time at Kentucky, its sad ending, and what he’ll cherish most. If you missed the interview, I very much recommend you go back and listen via podcast or our YouTube channel. Here are some quick highlights:

— The North Carolina win was when he felt the team really started to click into gear, especially him.

— His favorite moment at Kentucky was hitting one of a career-high seven threes vs. Alabama to cap off a 13-0 run, which produced this incredible roar from the crowd:

— Yes, the team was as close as they seemed. “What you guys saw was the reality. We had an incredibly close group and there was a camaraderie within our team that I think was evident, obviously to a lot of people and it was truly an accurate depiction of what we went through and the bond that we had together.”

— What he believed went wrong vs. Saint Peter’s

— He admitted it was hard to watch the national championship game knowing that the two teams in it, Kansas and North Carolina, lost to Kentucky by a combined 47 points. (Same)

— On his Granddad nickname: “I always said, the guys that could buy a beer call me KG. The guys that couldn’t call me Granddad.”
