A three-time All-SEC selection during his four years at Kentucky, Delk was also named the 1996 Final Four Most Outstanding Player, leading to its sixth national championship. He was selected consensus first-team All-America in the 1996 season.

Delk finished his career with 1,890 points, fourth most in school history at the time. Voted the 1996 SEC Player of the Year, Delk was selected 16th overall in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets.

Each SEC Basketball Legend will be recognized at halftime of his institution's first game at the tournament.

This marks the 16th year of the SEC Basketball Legends program.
