I can now officially say I am rooting for NOLA. I hope Darius proves his worth and has a long productive career in the NBA. He is always going to be one of my favorites to wear the Blue and White.

Congrats to Kentucky's own Darius Miller, Maysville's and Mason County's first NBA player ever (I do believe).

This is fantastic news.

Go Darius and Go Big Blue!!!
