What is Kansas Basketball? it's exactly that, Basketball. The collective personification of the word. Here in Lawrence, Basketball is a proper noun. It transcends everything. I don't know of a more pure group of people, so dedicated to a single cause, that exist anywhere. All Basketball roads lead to Kansas, if you picked out some random high school Basketball player in europe, I will almost garuntee he's got direct player/coach linage to The University of Kansas. For more proof check out Jim Caple's Article about his 1-day visit to campus. You'll truely become a believer.
