EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
And that will do it from the Champion's Classic here from the Bankers Life Fieldhouse as the first game is in the books as the No. 1 Kentucky just downright obliterates No. 5 Kansas 72-40. The freshmen for John Calipari showed out but none more so than Christian Travis. The SEC Legacy, posts an incredible statline of 18 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists with an additional two blocks and one steal. Talk about introducing yourself to the world, future star in the making but what else are you expecting when your nickname is the Supernova. Coming up, is No. 4 Duke taking on the No. 19 team in the land, the Michigan State Spartans.
The celebration was underway in the home team's locker room as Christian makes his way into the makeshift Kentucky base of operations, having a completed an interview with ESPN about his primetime debut and what it took to cement his status. But as soon as he stepped into the locker room, everyone got him, dousing Christian with water.
Christian: ACK! NO, COME ON Y'ALL!
Karl-Anthony: NOPE, YOU SHOWED OUT! NOW TAKE YOUR VICTORY SHOWER!
Everyone stopped their comedic attempt of drowning the freshman after about five or seven seconds as the coaches pile in.
John Calipari: Alright settle down everyone, settle down! First off I'm very proud with how you all performed tonight. That's how you dominate elite competition wire to fucking wire, boys. Kansas like us are expected to not only win their conference, but are also projected to make a DEEP run during March Madness. It may not seem like it now, but experiences like this are what will get you ready for the bigger stages of the season such as conference play and beyond. Now, you all get a day off so enjoy it with family and then we leave later in the night. Bring it in. CATS ON THREE! ONE, TWO, THREE!
CATS!
Christian proceeds to grab his stuff, having changed out to a Nike Dri-Fit Polo, a pair of ironed slacks and some signed Kobes. He then puts a couple of chains on and after doing his hair neatly and finely, walks out of the locker room to loud cheers as cheerleaders and fans alike awaited the players of both teams.
Sabrina: CUBBY!
His mother races into the tunnel and latches onto her son, hugging him tight and refusing to relinquish her hold.
Christian: MOM! CAN'T... BREATHE!
Sabrina: Get used to it, I've only ever been doing it since your first AAU game, baby boy.
Prince: Yeah, but you might want to ease before his eyeballs pop out. You okay son?
Christian: I will be once my world famous mother decides to stop cosplaying as a Burmese Python. Come back and ask me that in a few minutes.
Zendaya: MAKE WAY!
Then unlike her, Zendaya rams through the tunnel on her Stone Cold Steve Austin type beat as she overlooks her no longer sweaty younger sibling.
Zendaya: You alright? You took a pretty hard foul towards the end-
Christian: Please I've taken nastier scrapes riding a bike when I was younger. Barely a scratch, they did give me some ice just to make certain my forehead doesn't swell. Didn't think you'd make it, dear older sister.
Zendaya: I'm nowhere near our mom's level of fame, I can watch my brother if I so desire.
Christian: If you say so.... hey so fun thing happened when I was coming back to the locker room for the half. I ran into an old friend-
Madelyn: And the reunion was oh so sweet!
Just as his mother had relinquished her hold him, Madelyn Cline makes her presence known as she grabs her longtime friend from behind as the parents immediately recognize.
