Thanks to everyone for following the live blog with John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe this afternoon. As expected, we had a huge following.
More than 1,400 readers tuned in to watch the event, and nearly 300 people have replayed the event in the 30 minutes since the chat ended.
We understand that not everyone’s comment made it through. We apologize if you didn’t get a chance to ask a question. We had such a large following that we tried our best to make due with the time we had.
We had 5,754 comments sent in during the one-hour time frame — as head coach John Calipari would say, “You guys are crazy” — and nearly 200 were published.
Again, we hope everyone enjoyed the chat and look forward to doing more in the future.
