B/R StudiosMar 16, 2016

John Calipari and the University of Kentucky have produced an outlandish amount of NBA talent over the last several years, but the foundation of their NBA empire began back in 2009, when Calipari put together one of the most talented teams of all time.

Watch as Calipari and members of his inaugural team, featuring John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe, discuss how the Wildcats changed college basketball and the NBA draft forever.
