Who’s Winning the NBA Playoffs? The Kentucky Wildcats

For John Calipari, recruiting season doubles as reunion season. The Kentucky men’s basketball head coach has been on the road lately, telling some of the country’s tallest and most dexterous teenagers about the charms of Lexington—a job that lands him in some useful ZIP Codes, during an NBA postseason well-stocked with former Wildcats.

Calipari recently touched down in Philadelphia, where he saw Tyrese Maxey, his one-time point guard, score 33 points in a Game 2 win in the 76ers’ first-round series against the Brooklyn Nets. He has designs to get to Phoenix and Los Angeles, where he hopes to catch Devin Booker and Anthony Davis, whose Suns and Lakers hold leads in their own playoff openers.
