I remember this game well. If memory serves, Meeks broke Kentucky's all-time leading scorer, Dan Issel's record for most points scored in a single game by any Kentucky player. In 1970, Issel scored a then UK single game record 53 points against Mississippi State. A record that stood until Jodie Meeks scored 54 in this game against Tennessee in 2009. I never saw any replay of Issel's performance in 1970 against Mississippi St., but I was fortunate enough to have been watching this game. I'd have to say the only other single game scoring performances by a UK player that stand out with this one in my mind would obviously be Jack "The Goose" Givens's 41 points in the 1978 National Title game when Kentucky defeated Duke, and the other that springs to mind in recent years I suppose would be when Malik Monk went off on North Carolina for 47 points in the CBS Classic back in December, 2016. His jumper was very Jodie Meeks like in that game as well.

You're not going to get all of those screens on the pro level. For Jodie to be a successful scorer in the NBA, he'll have to be on a team with a good PG who can drive the lane and kick a pass out to Jodie for an open shot.

In '96, you had guys like Carmello Anthony, Marcus Camby, Kobe Bryant, Stephon Marbury, Ray Allen, etc. You know, real talent. Besides, the '96 team is widely considered to be the deepest team in NCAA history. Plus, who was the last Gator to win an NBA title? I mean, Rondo's won one, Tayshaun's won one, they're successful players. No Gators?
@wildcat6941015 жыл бұрын
Because your question's irrelevant. The strength of a program lies on far more than its successes or failures within the past 5 years, it lies upon its tradition. Yes, recent success is important, but apart from your back to back run, which hasn't even been close to replicated by the Gators in the past two years, what has Florida really done to justify your insane assertion? Simply put, Kentucky has and always will be the class and dominating facet of the SEC.

Zion Harmon from Adair county Kentucky Just a freshman had 54 last week in High school .. mark it down he will come to Kentucky and beat Jody’s record

Lol fail
when i was young going to UK bball games, all i remember is the announcer saying 'AND ITS GOOD FOR JOOODDIIEE MEEEKS!' go big blue!
i havent really enjoyed watching college basketball since kevin durants triple OT, but i enjoyed watching this
Please Mr. Kupchack sign this man into the Lakers... He's a great kid and help to Kobe, Nash and Jamison...
Jodie Meeks has the nicest shooting form ever
low key one of the best signings for the Lakers this offseason
One of the best shooters in the history of the game.
Jodie Meeks was born in Nashville, Tennessee... he's playing in his playground :D
Billy always put a lot of passion into the postgame handshake
National Championship in 98 finishing off 3 straight trips to the title game. UKs last SEC Tourny Champ was 2004 (25 total more than all other schools combined) Reg Season 2005 (43 total more than all schools combined) Im sure Florida is happy with their measly combined 7 SEC championships. You've almost caught Miss St.
I was wishing for Leandro Barbosa or Juan Carlos Navarro but this guy is one hell of a shooter. Just the lakers needs to beef up the reserve unit.
Coach Cal is a TOP 5 NCAA COACH!
If he stayed around for the John Wall team, that could have been an all-time great college team. Was even a good defensive player...ugh
I watch this twice a day
I remember this game vividly...it was great. I hated the shorts. I remember that
Lets not forget Jorts. He played a large role in the Final 4 of 2011.
Amazing
Well, they almost went back to back. An injury to Derek Anderson left them losing to Arizona in the Championship in overtime. But the '96 team had guys like Ron Mercer, Antoine Walker, Tony Delk, Anthony Epps, Derek Anderson, Walter McCarty, Jeff Shephard, and Mark Pope. I mean, 9 of the guys went on to play NBA ball, with the majority being first round picks. Talent wise, simply incredible. I mean, they had enough talent overflow to go to 3 straight championships, winning 2.
GO BIG BLUE!!
@Wallace: I agree for the most part, Billy was a better recruiter than most people would give him credit for but Jorts? That is pushing it. He was a water boy before Cal made him into what he was his senior year. I don't know if any other coach could have done that. Cal done more for him in one year than Billy did for him in 2 or could have done in 4
54 points on 22 shots....... GO BIG BLUE
Would of loved to see him out there with the Raptors
Meeks can shoot the shit out of the ball. Lakers got him at a bargain, too. Will turn 25 a week from now, meaning the Lakers could possibly hold onto him long-term. Great move to get him for the bench.
one of the few bright spots for UK under billy g
Damn boi is lights out.... you got that right PLZZZZZ Mitch give this dude the MML he would be worth every dollar.
What a performance!
@89Ryanhoward All Tennessie is good for is football. Kentucky haves improved over the last few years in fooball. We have been to five straight bowls and have one three out of the five. Kentucky doesn't suck in football, they're a working progress.
I would be a happy guy if my lakers got dwight and meeks seeing as they already signied nash & jamison that would be a great free agent summer for us
@finisher3x Not sure what you were referring too, but I am aware that theres a difference between college and pro level. But when you've got Ray Allen saying he's an up and coming great player after he had a prolific college career, you realize he's been undervalued by teams. Philly at least saw he has ability.
@The23Jman You're right. Tennessie fans just have to face the fact that they'll never be what Kentucky is in basketball. Kentucky is the true king of the SEC. Period!
How this kick was overlooked and underappreciated come draft time is beyond me. He sat on the bench for a horrible Milwaukee Bucks team. Sixers at least knew he had talent. If he can become a tenacious defender and round out his game a bit, he'll be a reliable player for years to come.
miller played with some great talent while at UK damn
Jodie Meeks agreed to 2-year deal worth about $3 million to play for the Lakers. Lakers all the way!
Good memories.... This was basically the only good thing from Billy's tenure!!!
Welcome to the raptors Jodie!
One of the most efficient performances in college history
love the game
That JUMPER
I’m a UofL fan and Meeks is one of my favorite uk players right behind Chuck Hayes

Everybody loved chuck hayes. We have a to appreciate a grinder.
Oh, how I wish he would have came back for one more year. Once he gains a little more ball control. He is going to light it up in the NBA.
I know right? He would have been the missing piece we needed in 2010 when we went ice cold vs W. Virginia. If he had came back I have NO doubt we would have won the title.
They did, your wish came true! true wishes never die.
It's 2019 and Jodie Meeks just hit another 3 against UT.
@vyizgr8t lol i know. it don't matter anyway. halts, quarters, halfs, didn't matter to jodie that night. he OWNED the game.
he was like 3/467 this season lol lets hope he can pick it up next season wherever he goes.
He is a beast
hell yeah picture him with Kobe and Nash.....oh boy, gonna get so many open 3's.....really hope LA signs him....
amazing
No woofing just straight up ballin
You can't stop Jodie. You can only hope to contain him!
NIKE produced special T-shirts for Meeks performance in this game. Billy Clyde refused to distribute the shirts to the team. Cal found the shirts in a box when he took over and had them distributed. Billy Clyde=Billy Clown. Go 'Cats.
Not sure how anyone played in those long ass shorts during that period
i really hope to see meeks pulling down 15ppg for the sixers by next year.
Respond to this video... funniest convo. We got halts and querters
Crap, I meant Allen Iverson. I don't know why I typed Carmello. My bad. But that doesn't change the validity of my point, the '96 draft was a lot more talented than its 2007 counterpart. Rajon Rondo's in the playoffs, as was Tayshaun. Chuck Hayes plays with the Rockets, and Morris is getting minor time with the Hawks. Plus, Matt Bonner? Really? Does a guy really get a ring when he averages 4.8 points per game?
We may have still lost a game but I have zero doubt that we would have won the title that year. I would give anything to have played that Duke team that won the title in 2010. We would have obliterated them with or without Jodie Meeks.
Hoping that Herro or Keldon can do this tonight lol!
I know man.. very very unexpected.. I thought he was like the serious 3 point threat in the Lakers 2012-2013 team like Danny green is with the Spurs lol, but iunno what happened.. And yeah, gotta wait and see until next season.
It wouldn't be soon, and Meeks would more likely be Alexander's replacement because now Alexander is the replacement for Jefferson. And he's more of a scorer than a straight up(he is a good shooter) shooter so why not have him and Redd out on the floor.
Hey remember when Billy G told him to stop shooting during halftime? Yea, I try to forget everything about him too.
He only this is, this video is from 2009. Alot of this can change in 3 years
Imagine Jodie playing for Cal.
I couldn't find all the Vols loud mouths after this game and I live in Tennessee. The SEC will always be owned by UK.
@pineapplepeanuts It's because in the NBA, you have to be able to create your own shot. In the pros, everybody is good, so a great player in college won't necessarily be a great player in the pros. You're not going to get all of those screens on the pro level. For Jodie to be a successful scorer in the NBA, he'll have to be on a team with a good PG who can drive the lane and kick a pass out to Jodie for an open shot.
The best part was all the Tennessee players still talking smack.
Billy G nearly killed our program
they got him :)
Good God!
there might be a more fun thing to watch then a college guy who is in the zone and whenever he shoots you know its goin in!
Two Tennessee alums clicked "dislike". Brought back nightmares
Watch bruce on the sidelines progressively get more and more pissed
@MrBrentCarl correct
Haha, it's called the relative strength of the draft. I mean, who did your gator players have to compete with? Greg Oden? Kevin Durant? Who else? In '96, you had guys like Carmello Anthony, Marcus Camby, Kobe Bryant, Stephon Marbury, Ray Allen, etc. You know, real talent. Besides, the '96 team is widely considered to be the deepest team in NCAA history. Plus, who was the last Gator to win an NBA title? I mean, Rondo's won one, Tayshaun's won one, they're successful players. No Gators?
Because your question's irrelevant. The strength of a program lies on far more than its successes or failures within the past 5 years, it lies upon its tradition. Yes, recent success is important, but apart from your back to back run, which hasn't even been close to replicated by the Gators in the past two years, what has Florida really done to justify your insane assertion? Simply put, Kentucky has and always will be the class and dominating facet of the SEC.
@roxgod666 he was drafted by them
