Chris Lofton.. Dude played with cancer and happened to be one of the best 3 point shooters ever in college basketball.

Suck it Durant.

That shot against Durant was amazing. He took it from the parking lot.

I can't believe any Auburn fans haven't said this guy

Chris Porter

As far as MSU it would have to be Timmy Bowers. Always clutch.

Hard to pull any one person off those championship teams. Outside of those guys, probably David Lee.

I loved players like Acie Law, donald sloan, Kirk, Josh Carter...but Chris Walker would be my favorite. that bastard would kill himself every play. He was the essence of hustle and hard work.

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.

I liked watching Rod Grizzard, Hollywood Robinson, and Gerald Wallace.

My favorite would have to be Ron Steele. That guy kept coming back after injuries. I wish things would have worked out better for him.

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.
