... in 1978, former UK All-American Kevin Grevey helped lead the Washington Bullets to their first ever NBA Championship. Grevey averaged 15.5 ppg as a starter, alongside Wes Unseld and Elvin Hayes. After having a solid season with the Bullets, an injury held Grevey back during the playoff run. He did tally six points in the deciding Game 7 victory over the favored SuperSonics, 105-99. Upon retirement, Grevey opened a popular restaurant in Washington D.C., appropriately named "Grevey's."
