The Sheppards (7-21-23)

Jeff and Stacey Sheppard are trying to keep the focus on their son Reed and the Kentucky basketball team, but there is a lot of interest in talking with the two because they were rather successful Kentucky basketball players themselves.
Keith Farmer sat down with both in Toronto for their first interview together after watching Reed start his UK career.

This young man is going to be a Legend

Can we please get a reality show with the Reed family during basketball season (or something similar.) They understand Kentucky basketball, they are both extremely insightful from a basketball point of view and -Stacey's accent is amazing!- both are Kentucky Basketball Royalty.

So nice to hear parents of a Mcd's AA preaching focus on the team first and foremost and good things will happen. Have gotten jaded by the guys coming in and expecting to get 20 shots from day 1 and if they dont they're in the transfer portal or calling in Klutch

Great interview!

[@Boozey-1994]

Crazy how much size Reed has put on since the Global Jam to Now. You can see the grown man forming in him

[@DarkestTikTok]

His dad was a very explosive jumper and player. Sort of like a rex chapman really.

[@rodnewcombe1120]

period

[@e70ish17]

Stacey is so cool ♥️
Jeff's alright too I guess. 🙂

[@rodnewcombe1120]

i was almost 5'11 and i played foward.....my heart was way taller than my height.....all you need is heart for the game

[@bigpapi2658]

Reed should have worn his mom’s #4!!! His game looks just like her!!

But in the end they caught an L in the 1st round to a 14th seed
