Shaq isn't from LA just went to LSU. Looking at Karl Malone's stats I still don't know if Shaq is better than him.

Nobody thinks Karl Malone is better than Shaq

Well Shaq was not born in Louisiana

If you are going by born in Louisiana your options are Bill Russell, Clyde Drexler, and Karl Malone

If you are going by went to high school in Louisiana the two most productive at the NBA level were probably Malone and Parish

The NBA 75th Anniversary team has

Russell
Pettit
Malone
Drexler
Elvin Hayes
Willis Reed
Robert Parish

Not bad for a state the size of Louisiana.

Hard to believe the little red clay dirt towns of Lisbon, Hico, Summerfield Bernice and Summerfield tucked in the little triangle where Claiborne, Union and Lincoln parishes come together, produced Glynn Saulters ('68 olympic gold medalist), Willis Reed, Benny Anders and Karl Malone. Pretty remarkable.

Also didn't realize it, but Clyde the Glyde (a teammate of Benny Anders on Phi Slamma Jamma) was born in NOLA.

Bob Petit IMO. He is #3 all-time in rebounds per game and #10 all-time in points per game.

It is one of these 5. Bill Russell, Bob Pettit, Willis Reed, Elvin Hayes or Karl Malone. Honorable mention to the Chief, Robert Parish.

He may be but he’s also the biggest POS. Didn’t even speak to his kids by another woman until they turned 18. And they tried to contact him. He’s a huge jerk. Can’t stand that guy.
