That's fantastic, but it's not relevant to the awards (most decorated). Crews didn't win the Golden Spikes because he had the highest average or most home runs (he didn't), he was selected for his overall body of work. Same for Maravich... his scoring led to his awards, but I don't think they handed out a specific award for Most Points, etc. If they do, it's not POY. Records are not awarded. They may lead to someone winning one, but a lot of scoring leaders weren't POY in basketball. Don't get wadded up, I'm not discrediting Pete in any way. I'm differentiating between achievements and awards.

Ok
4 time first team all American. 4 time SEC POTY when UK and Rupp was in your league. Naismith POTY in 1970. The award started in 1969 and given to Lew Alcindor AKA Kareem, the only other year he could have won it.

How about 30/30 or SEC Specials, Movies, Documentaries, and on and on written and made about you or the building named after you? How’s that?

There’s not another single athlete that has ever played at LSU that has been as “decorated”. There weren’t all those awards then to split up. It is like Bowl games then versus today. Different times.
