Watch: LSU Unveils Bob Pettit Statue On Campus

What a phenom he was on the Basketball court and in life. My Dad was in school at the same time and was Captain of the Golf Team and a good friend of Pettit. He was 5'8" tall and weighed about a Buck-twenty. Said Pettit always wanted to sit next to him at the training table cause he could always get my dad's leftovers. What a true Southern Gentleman, Mr. Pettit is. One of the all-time greats in Basketball, College and Pro. A great Ambassador for LSU. Congrats, Mr. Pettit, long over due.
