54% of the nation thinks Kentucky would win 7-game series against NBA's Sixers

[TheRef]

I kid you not. ESPN's Sportsnation just tweeted this graphic out that 54% of voters think Kentucky would win a 7-game series against the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA.

I just wonder how many of those voters know that KY is college? There are some really stupid people out there.

From a talent standpoint, the two teams are probably pretty close. However, from an experience, ball movement, and offensive & defensive execution standpoint, the Sixers would run them off the court.

I already don't care that much anymore. Now I know there is literally no drama as to the outcome of the SEC and NCAA season.

That's what makes football so much better. There's alot of good teams that could win on any given day.

NCAA has to do something about basketball or it's going to die a slow death imo.

no way in hell a college team full of 18 year olds with practice limitations beat a roster of professionals who do it all day every day

Exactly. Probably say bama could beat the raiders next week

[quickstrike2]

I would actually like to see it happen. I know that the pro's would win easily, but I would just like to see by how much.

Football is just a totally different animal.

It's really funny to me that Pennsylvania voted for Kentucky.

I think it might be closer than some of you think. How many of UK's guys would start for Philadelphia right now?
Admittedly, I don't pretend to know. NBAdraft.net has a mock draft that projects 6 (SIX!) first-round picks from UK and 2 more 2nd-rounders.

I suspect the coaching edge would go to UK.
Obviously Philly has the depth and experience edges in a huge way.

I'm just saying it wouldn't be the most shocking thing that ever happened.

[Smitty]

No college team would beat an NFL team ever... All blowouts.

I could definitely see a loaded team like UK beating the Sixers.. 4-1 Series for Philly IMO. Baseball too, best college team could go 1-4 in a MLB series.

Haven't kept up with 76ers this year, but it would most likely be pretty shocking. Most likely, the 12th guy on any NBA team would start for UK. While they may have 6 players that project to be first round picks, lost of first round draft picks are sitting on the end of the bench for their first contract and then our out of the league before the end of their second. And that's ignoring the fact that the 76ers players have several years of development. If the question is would this UK team be able to finish better than last in the NBA if you kept them intact and let them develop for another 4 years, that would be a good question.

Here's a better question for you: How many NBA teams could you see losing to Kentucky at least once in a 5-game series?

I may say yest too. The Sixers are one of the weakest teams in NBA history. KY might win all ten.

54% of the nation just raised their hand and said "I'm an idiot".

[M.Fillmore]

Just goes to show that there are inbreds outside of Kentucky, West Virginia and Fayetnam.

[DudyDawg]

@darrenrovell: If 76ers played Kentucky under NBA rules, the @Westgate_LV sportsbook would make the 76ers 17-point favorites, says @golfodds

[bulldawg28]

The 76ers grown men would physically dominate those scrawny 18-19 year olds at Kentucky.

Yea it was way better when UCLA won ten straight.**

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

I don't think the talent gap is that far apart. I would give the edge to the sixers because they play more with eachother and have unlimited practice time. The NBA isnt like the NFL. Some players are ready to come straight out of HS and perform in the NBA. That is never the case in the NFL.

Anthony Davis could still be playing at UK, and he is dominating in the NBA. If he were still at Kentucky are you saying he wouldn't be on the level of anyone from the Sixers? Bad argument

Whoa , so you're saying Kentucky players aren't professionals ? :)

Don't know, wasn't alive. But yeah, I would imagine it was pretty boring back then as well.
