Why do we not have a statue of Pete Maravich at the entrance of PMAC?

The ESPN commentator brought that up last night....
We need to lift up our legends and show case them..
Shaq and Jackson should be highlighted more as well.

Also, his name is on the fricking arena.

Yea I never understood why the shaq statue is behind the PMAC. Always thought that was dumb.

There aren't any sculptors available. They are all busy working on crappy statues of current coaches at Bama.

Apex we have discussed this already, always do a search before posting.
but why do we need a statue when the whole building is named after him.

How cool is the Tiger statue in front of the Athletic department, how often is it view on National TV? Every home game it's shown!
A statue of Pete would be shown on TV all the time (at commercial breaks)..."Back live at the Pete Maravich center, the all time NCAA scorer who averaged 44 per game before the 3 point line"
the PMAC is a great honor, at this point however, this has more to do with marketing...

As a TD legend, sometimes I take the privilege of starting my own threads without a search. If you don't like it, I will have you put in time out.

ok what ever apex
but I feel like we have done enough to honor Pete no reason to do more.
note: if we are to build a statue for a player/coach I would want one of skip outside the box.

Didn't Shaq donate a ton of money to build the new basketball facilities? If so, I'm guessing that is why he has a a statue.

Not an alumni so he gets no statue. This is older than archeological dating can estimate.

Didn't graduate.

In all seriousness, we need to have a statue for the one greatest players ever to walk the planet.
You think these young kids know what he looked like? It's been 36 years since his death.
If I had the money, I would just handle this situation myself... One morning, it would just be there...It would be huge and the tiger faithful would love taking a picture in front of it.
If I am coach JJ, I am doing everything to market the LSU program... We need to lift this baby back into the air...we've been dead for so long.
the attendance is still just embarrassing... I watched the Iowa MSU game, good lord, what a contrast in excitement and energy.
Johnny has us going in the right direction, we have momentum, we are getting on TV more and more, we're landing big time recruits... this is a fantastic start...
The statue is something that is long over due IMHO.
he is the greatest player in LSU history
He averaged the equivalent of 15 3's per game!!! let that sink it.. we get all excited if a player hits 5 in a game...Pete was on another hemisphere and he was an entertainer..

I think it's dumb that it's BEHIND the PMAC, not that he has a statue.

Because Pete can't pay for his statue like Shaq did.

That's flawed logic...

Him not graduating will prevent the statue for whatever reason
I think the statue is a great idea though.
Mark it down apex, I agree with you on something

This is all just scratching the surface of the many reasons why a Pete statue is warranted.
Pete is/was a basketball god walking the earth. I have no doubt he's playing for God's home team in heaven. Pete running the point while Jesus is down in the paint.
