UK player’s mom sees Final Four

Let’s hear it for Kentucky’s newest basketball recruit Alex Legion. Or at least for his delusional “prophet” mom. Here are a couple of choice quotes from the article:

“I’m a prophet,” she said, “someone who can prophesize about your future and what’s going on in your life.”

“The Lord has shown me: They’re going to the Final Four,” she said, before adding a qualifier, “providing they play together.”

“I have spoken these things into existence.”

and my favorite:

“I had no clue Kentucky was a basketball school. No clue,” Annette Legion said. “But God knew.”

I mean really, how would any of us know that Kentucky was a basketball school unless the lord told us?

I officially hate the Kentucky Wildcats until this kid leaves the team. Even though it was his mom spouting all of this rubbish, I just can’t stand the idea that she is able to speak a team’s Final Four appearance into existence. My greatest wish is that UK spends the next however many years as a .500 or worse team. Aw hell, who am I kidding. I can hear the excuses from Ms. Legion now, “The Lord meant the Final Four of the NIT tournament…”
