Felton was visible throughout the 2022-23 season standing in the tunnel for many Louisville Basketball games this season.

Spencer was drafted 6th overall in the 1990 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He played 12 seasons in the NBA for the T-Wolves, Jazz, Magic, Warriors, Spurs and Knicks. He scored 3354 points in the NBA.

Felton was an NBA All-Rookie in 1991. 1st Team All-Metro in 1990, and 2nd Team Parade All-American in 1986.
