re: Bob Pettit. Why does he not get more love on here?

When I first started collecting sports cards I wanted to get all of the NBA’s 50 greatest players (autographed), and then I found out Bob Pettit went to LSU, even weirder is that at the time I had no idea.

I’m way too young to have seen him play, so I went on several deep dives of highlights with this guy. His footwork was incredible in the post, and the drop step, up-and-under, he was great. His hook shot was Kareem-esque — it was basically unguardable. He had a great fadeaway. Great jump shooter. Deceptively quick. Great rebounder. He was a spectacular player from what I’ve seen.

Pete Maravich is obviously the GOAT but I didn’t even know Pettit played for LSU for the longest time, there’s really no excuse for that, dude was a legend.
