LSU All-time basketball team vs. anyone else's

Just saw this on TV
G Pete Maravich
G Chris Jackson
F Bob Pettit
F Rudy Macklin
C Shaquille O'Neal
Could any other school put together an all-time starting five like this, maybe besides North Carolina, Duke, or UCLA?
Just based on how they played while in college, this is almost as good as it gets.

I was thinking the same thing. That would be a tough team for anyone to beat with simply the Pistol and Shaq.

and 0 NCAA Championships with these guys, which is truly a shame, cuz that really is a freaking great all-time starting 5....not like I have any room to talk FSU doesnt really have any kind of basketball tradition to speak of...but still.

I mean it's pretty solid. No doubt about it.

IMO, that LSU team would beat anything Duke had either. UCLA and UNC both would be a push IMO.

Georgetown's would be pretty impressive. But I'd say LSU's is top 5.

If there had been a 3 point shot when Maravich played, they likely would have won at least 1 Final Four.

UNC would whoop our arse especially if Brady was coaching.

Who would the players be other than Ewing?

I don't think any other team could beat our 5.
Not even UCLA or NC. Shaq would punish any center in the post and Pete and CJ would just take turns going unconscious from outside all night long.

I remember a few years ago, someone (maybe ESPN) had an all-time NCAA tournament. They took the best 5 players for each school and played a mythical tournament. I can't remember how many teams, maybe 32 or 64. Anyway, they had LSU making the final four with (Shaq, Pistol, CJ, Macklin and Pettit). UNC and UCLA were 2 of the schools in the final four but I can't remember the other one.

Shaq would punish any center in front of him. Jabbar would have to have the hookshot working. If it isn't, Shaq city all night

Well yeah, but I think when you look at this sort of stuff, you have to take into account how good they were in the era they played in. I mean, I'm sure Ed O Bannon would throttle Bob Petit too. Rudy Macklin is well known in LSU circles, but he's not known as a national all time great.

Exactly what did any of these guys ever win?
Posted on 1/24/09 at 9:33 pm to Obi-Wan Tiger
With Gtown and they sucked before John Thompson:
AI
Mourning
Mutumbo
Ewing
Jaren Jackson
Othella Harrington
LSU would wax GTown
UNC, UCLA not so much
