(@AdamLefkoe) Here's a quick look at the last four National Championships for the Kentucky Wildcats. 1978, 1996, 1998 and 2012. Which team was best? You decide.
Exactly. We may not have as many titles as UCLA but theres were won mostly in a 12 period where as Kentucky has been in the top 10 in wins in every single decade. 5 coaches with titles proves without a doubt we are the best program. Also we have won titles in 5 different decades as well. Most wins, best win % ect. We are and always will be THE best program in the history of college hoops
The first time my parents took me and my little bro to Rupp was in 1978! I was just 11 and already a die-hard UK fan. How many of you all miss Rick Majerus? He was such a nice man and great coach...I have a lot of respect for him. I remember him saying that every time his team had to play Kentucky in the tournament, he broke out in hives..LOL
The 96 team was definitely the best. There aren't many teams, if any, that won their first 4 NCAA Tournament games by 20 or more points. The 96 team was a force! There was no stopping them.
All were great teams. The 1996 team was the best IMO, but the 97-98 team and season were my favorites. Greatest game ever for me was the 1998 EE game against Duke.
great vid!! Ill always say, "The 97 team had the championship if Pitino would have started Anderson after he had been cleared to play by the doctors." we would have 9 hanging
1. 1996. But Just barely. im going to how many pro's this team had on it. im mean the second string were runners up in 97. and the third string won it in 98, 2. 2012 Super talented team. by far the best team since 96 3. 1978 A great team that spent the whole year on top of CBB. 4. 1998. This team wasn't a favorite that year. But still deserved that title because of teamwork and grit. if 96 team and 2012 played a 7 games series. i think 96 would win in 7
as a Cat fan we are never satisfied...We have 8 and we love them all, but i linger on the ones we could, should, and would have had if... 1954 team screwed by Ncaa, Rupp's runts, 1974 team, 1984 team, 1993, 1997(let him play), 2003, 2014. Thats 8 more i thought of. GO CATS!! BBN Great video
Great film! Let us hope that UK adds one more in 2015! I wish someone would bring back the kick returns of Derick Abney! He was so exciting to watch. He had nine and only 2 are on youtube.
Great video! 96 for me was the best team EVER in NCAA history. the bench players went to the next 2 championship games. 78 doesnt get enough attention really. Nice to know that UK could beat duke even back in the day. 98 is my fav because they won everything...SEC reg season and SEC tourney before winning it all. Plus, that was the 92 latner game revenge fest in the elite 8. and the 12 team will always be the team w/the best talent with starting 5 and 6th man.
Funny thing about the 1998 Team was it was mostly the bench of the 1996 Championship team. Shows us how deep and talented they really were. GOBBN4LIFE💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
@bluegrassreb1: Kentucky didn't win the SEC tourney in 96. They did the same thing 2012 did, go 16-0 in conf play and won regular season title but lost to Mississippi State as 212 lost to Vandy....
The 4 Championships in my lifetime.
3 were anticipated and the looky-looky in 98.
Every one is special and never to be taken for granted.

Just Wow! I feel blessed to have seen all these championships. Thanks for all the great memories. This was great!
Absolutely superb editing. Really like how the commentators and music flow well. A good balance.
KSR brought me here. This is without a doubt the best UK tribute I have seen on youtube.
By far, one of my favorite Kentucky basketball Videos!
96 is the best because they were Untouchable, but the 12 team is right there with them because they're Undeniable

This is very cool! Great job! I work in TV and I know how hard this was to put together. I'm sure you have a definte love for the game! Congrats!!!
Thanks for this video! Gave me multiple bouts of cold chills!

Great video lefkoe...gives me chill watching it
Thank you for this awesome vid! '96 was the best team in history!

+Jake Mackie Don't forget 2010 and 2015

It’s been a decade and we need a championship soon
Cmon wildcats
Great video!

Great video. I have to go with the 96 team as the best, although the 2012 team overall definitely had the most talent.
'96 Cats ... Soooo much fun to watch.
Funny thing about the 1998 Team was it was mostly the bench of the 1996 Championship team. Shows us how deep and talented they really were. GOBBN4LIFE💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
2012 team. The clear dominant force.
3:03 John Calapari :P gotta love the irony!
96 was the best but 12 is my favorite.
yes i agree. do we disagree anywhere?
go cats!!!
lol i cant decide i like all of them
I love 8 but we need 12 to be undeniably the best
Austin Farrell we don't need twelve to be undeniably the best and anyone who argues otherwise is either ill- informed or stupid
Hopefully next year we'll return for #9
#GO BIG BLUE!!!
I think we're gonna repeat this year
Go big blue 💙💙💙

I was like 2 in 96 I'm a say 96 then 2012 team are the best two teams
1996 team - best ever in college basketball
GO BIG BLUE!
1996
Is CBS being asses about the footage of the Kansas Championship game?
can anyone tell me where I can find the video of louisville's last 4 championships? it doesn't seem to be anywhere.
Oh I'm sorry, I see where it says 98 now. My bad.
