I know of only three:

1) Chris Jackson "He's a Pistol!"
2) Shaq "The Real Deal"
3) Pete Maravich "The Hottest Shot"

are there anymore that I'm forgetting? Maybe from the 2006 Final 4 run?

Those are the only ones I know of.


Do you know when this will be released? The SI, I mean.

Hijack. How bad does Dale Brown look now?! Getting old is a bitch! He sat next to me at the game Thursday and I literally didn't recognize him until he looked over and made small talk.

Pete was on two SI's that I can remember. One was cartoonish, and the other was a photo. I have them both, I believe.

before the 87 tournament LSU had a corner with Darryl Joe pictured and the tagline of "LSU goes on the prowl again"


elite eight that year, great run, stolen by Bobby Knight punching the scorers table with no penalty

Link

If you search the SI vault for "Louisiana State" instead of "LSU" it shows 6 basketball covers. I can't post the covers cause I'm on my phone but here's the link.
