re: SI's cover, 24 years ago today

Greatest player I ever witnessed at the college level. Even with his lack of size, I thought he would do so much more in the NBA...thought he would score like Alan Iverson. I was a freshman at LSU when he was, remember his first game and those early games when he was pumping 30 to 40 then 50 points. Florida student section game him a standing O. Never missed a game over those two years when he played. Never would have guessed when Shaq and crew arrived in '89 that LSU WOULDN'T have won a NC before my time there ended. Love me some C.J., best cross over move f'n ever....
