Reed Sheppard has predictable reaction to Christmas prank involving Louisville gear
Published:
Former Kentucky guard Reed Sheppard was on the receiving end of a Christmas Day prank from some Rockets teammates on Thursday.
Sheppard was gifted a Louisville t-shirt ahead of the Rockets’ primetime matchup against the Lakers on Christmas Day. Like any good Kentucky fan (or ex-player) would, Sheppard promptly took the shirt and threw it in the garbage.
Here’s a clip of the moment:

Sheppard spent one season at Kentucky before turning pro, but is a life-long fan of the Wildcats. Both of his parents played basketball at Kentucky and his father, Jeff Sheppard, won 2 national championships at UK.
Sheppard is in the midst of an excellent sophomore season in the NBA. He’s playing 26 minutes per game for a Rockets team that projects to be a top-5 seed in the Western Conference. He’s averaging 13.3 points per game and is shooting over 43% from behind the 3-point line, making him one of the best shooters in the NBA.
The Rockets will take on the Lakers at 8 p.m. ET on Christmas.
