Don't forget "bullet" Bob Pettit! I grow up listening to him on the radio play for the Hawks.
He and Jabbar were the masters of the hook shot!

So, my point is, if you are over the age of 30 and can't think of any Alabama players from the NBA, you don't really know dick about the NBA.
Summer...I am over 30...couldn’t care if the NBA disappeared today.
LSU has many more recognizable players than Bama.
Not to mention Pistol Pete Maravich and Shaquille O’neil.
Two players that revolutionized the game of basketball, by their style of play. Not to mention their record breaking careers.
But you already know this.

I've been a Lakers fan since I was a kid, so I'm a Shaq fan too, but in no way did he "revolutionize" the game.

Ok, then that explains it

Ok, other than Maravich and Shaq, who would you claim on this "many more recognizable player" list?

Maravich truly did that. Maravich is one of the legends of basketball for his play and his influence on the game. One of a handful. He's the greatest, most revolutionary athlete in your school's history IMHO (and you guys have a bunch of them).
Shaq revolutionized it in that his body was different than every other human and did thing others could not. He didn't change the way the game as played, he just played it differently than anyone else (because he could and they couldn't).

As previously noted, I was a Shaq fan, but he did nothing that Wilt Chamberlain didn't do before him.

How bad was everybody else on those 1968/1969 teams that LSU went a combined 27-25 with Maravich at the healm?
I also must add here that I am the son of a Pistol Pete disciple. My dad worshipped the ground Pistol walked on, modeled every basketball thing he did after him, bought every Pistol Pete VHS tape and read every book as a kid. He did every Pistol Pete ball handling drill and trick. He still to this day talks about how he was in the stands as a 10 year old for the epic 106-104 game in Tuscaloosa in 1970 and how it was (until a few recent Alabama football games) the greatest sporting event he's ever been to.

Shag attack rule change.
Zone defense rule change
Redesigned stronger goals...the main frame that holds the backboard. (They made the rims stronger because of Darrel Dawkins)

I knew you knew it Summer!
Shaq’s body was unique.
A 7 foot “MAN” with a fully proportioned frame.
He could do things that Wilt Chamberlain could only dream of.
i.e. running and dribbling up the court like a guard...etc.
We’re good!

Chamberlain was better all around. The 100 point game was impressive, but the man averaged 50.4 points per game for an entire season. Shaq was very good. Chamberlain was great.

Shaq was the man when I was a kid. I had all of his Shaq Attaq figures (even the LSU one) and both Magic road jerseys. Then he left for the Lakers...

Did he have his own fighting game though?

Valid question but keep in mind after LSU's NCAA trip after the 1954 season LSU was 110-212 until Pete's first varsity season. In fact, LSU was 3-23 in his dad's first year. He actually had some quality teammates but no stars. Press actually recruited by design guys who were used to playing with stars. It took a special guy to know he was going to way down the food chain as long as Pete was there.

I never saw that, but I will say that Shaq is a very cool dude. He has a great personality too. At least, in interviews he seemed to. I was very disappointed when he left the Lakers. I am a Kobe Bryant fan too, but he and Shaq had a lot of winning basketball left to play. Unfortunate it ended when it did.

I learned ball-you-man defense, entry passes, catching ready to shoot, box outs and help defense from the books, VHS tapes and learned from Lipscomb Team Camp knowledge of Pistol Pete and Don Meyer.
