Yeah, they were a juggernaut when he was there. What's amusing is the vast majority of you never saw him play. Hell, I was a kid when he played.
What is also being completely ignored here is that the SEC had barely begun to integrate in sports at the time. He most certainly wasn't playing against top flight competition for the most part.

Then he wasn't playing with top flight teammates which makes his accomplishments even more credible. We all know that surrounding yourself with good players makes you better also. Right?

I’m one of the lucky ones who got to see Pete play at LSU and he was a magician with the basketball. He could do things with it that left you in awe. The drills Press made him do were of legend. One can only speculate how many points he would have scored had there been a shot clock, three point line and freshmen allowed to play on the Varsity. Because of the differences in the eras they played, you can’t compare the two. Congrats to Clark but Pete will always be the greatest to me.
