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

He banged against Russell and Chamberlain in the 1950’s and 60’s, won an NBA championship and NBA MVP awards.
Considered one of the Top 50 NBA players of all time.
I remember hearing he is the only player in NBA history to average over 20 ppg every season of his entire career.
I think he was an NBA All-Star every year of his career too. Not sure if anyone else did that.
Truly one of the NBA all-time greats.
Probably doesn’t get more attention because so few people on here ever got to see him play- he retired in 1965 which was almost 60 years ago.

maybe when he retired. But Michael Jordan definitely did, hit 20 on the nose his last year. Petit also retired at a fairly early age.
