"They were generally acknowledged as one of the greatest of these basketball teams, the Vagabond Kings featured Bill Spivey at center, Doug Atkins at power forward, and Magula at shooting guard. The team posted a four-year (1948-1952) record of 429 wins and 14 losses. The seven-foot Spivey is on Sports Illustrated's all-time University of Kentucky basketball team. The six-foot-eight, 280-pound Atkins (who had jumped six feet, seven inches for the University of Tennessee track team before taking up basketball) eventually went on to a nine-year career as a defensive end for the Cleveland Browns and a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame".
