In the University of Kentucky’s illustrious basketball
history, Kyle Macy inherits a prominent place – and spawned a
generation of boys named Kyle in Kentucky.


Indiana’s Mr. Basketball in 1975 while playing for his
father Bob at Peru High, the 6-3 point guard was a three-year
starter for the Wildcats after spending his freshman season at
Purdue.


Macy helped the Wildcats capture the 1978 national title,
breaking a 20-year drought that likely felt like a century-long
drought to Big Blue Nation.


When Macy’s collegiate career closed in 1980, he had a
resume to rival any Wildcat: three All-American nods, an SEC
Player of the Year award, and two SEC titles in addition to the
1978 national title. He left UK as the program’s all-time
leader in assists and 12th on the Cats’ all-time scoring
list.


A first-round draft pick of the Phoenix Suns in 1979, Macy
played seven seasons in the NBA. 


He was inducted into the University of Kentucky Athletics
Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Wildcats retired his #4 jersey in
1997.
