I remember seeing him on TV (Back then you didn't see many NBA games on TV.). He was a tremendous power forward that had a great jump shot and was very, very good at rebounding (very physical). Loved his game.

Just for reference, in the NBA Pettit is #3 in Rebounds per game (16.22) in his career behind Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain while playing 7 minutes less per game than Wit and 4 1/2 minutes less per game than Bill. He is also 10th in Points per Game (26.36). Ahead of him are Jordan, Chamberlain, Doncic, Embid, Elgin Baylor, Durant, James, West, and Iverson. For reference Oscar Robertson is 11th, Steph Curry is 20th, Jabbar is 21st, Bird is 23rd, and Pistol Pete is 25th.
Only two players have averaged over 16 RPG and 26 PPG. Wilt Chamberlain and Bob Pettit.
