I can't believe no LSU fans have even mentioned the name Bob Pettit.

Not only was he an amazing player, but he was FROM Baton Rouge.

He was the first MVP in NBA history, and 2x NBA MVP.

He's in the basketball hall of fame.

11x All-Star

4x all-star game MVP.

NBA Rookie of the Year

10x all-NBA first team


NBA career averages:

26.4 points per game.
16.2 rebounds per game.


He was the first player to eclipse 20,000 points.

His 16.2 rebounds per game is 3rd all-time only behind Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell.

Not an LSU fan, but I sat behind - ok maybe a dozen rows behind - Bob Petit at the SEC tournament one year in Atlanta, probably around 10 years ago. Floor seats behind one of the baskets. My Dad pointed him out to me.
