Legend has it Skywalker would have posed in a Porcini's booth if he could do it over........ in 1989, new Kentucky head coach Rick Pitino admitted Kenny "Sky" Walker was a very big influence in him taking the UK job. The New York Times reported then-current Knicks player "Sky" Walker had more influence than many realized in convincing Pitino to go to his alma-mater. Walker said, "I didn't try to make the bluegrass greener for him, I just laid out for him what he could expect if he came here. After some of the things I said, I think he started more seriously considering it." No word on whether "Sky" really wanted him to coach at Kentucky or if he was simply tired of playing for him in New York.
