transition to new coach, time to relive some glory days. I know this has been discussed many times already, but LSU's historic starting 5 could hang with anyone in the nation.

Starting 5:

G - Pete Maravich
G - Chris Jackson
F - Bob Petitte
F - Rudy Macklin
C - Shaq

2nd Team (this is where it gets very debatable)

G - Marcus Thorton
G - Vernel Singleton
F - Stromile Swift
F - Brandon Bass
C - Glenn Davis

BTW, if this is "All-Time" and reviving "glory days",Sparky Wade has to be there, probably just missing the first team.

Vernel is one of my all time favorites, but he doesn't deserve to be on anyones all time team. Very good, not great player. Too many others to include him. I don't think he's even top 30.

That 1st team ain't gonna work for me without Martin at point. Too many shooters.

It's Bob PETTIT.

This is my all-time pet peeve by LSU fans to an LSU Alum who was NBA Rookie of the Year, MVP, 11 time All Star and a member of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History.

Can someone compile a better all time starting 5 than this? I'd like to see how schools like duke and UNC compare.
