re: How many ex-Tigers in Olympics men’s basketball this year?

Do you disagree that his one season was one of the top 5-10 seasons in LSU history? And do you disagree that he has already had one of the top 5 professional careers of any past tiger?

It seems you really don't know very much history when it comes to LSU basketball. Here is a list of years in which we made the NCAA Tournament and how far we advanced. Note with Simmons we didn't make the tournament.

NCAA Appearances 23 (1953, 1954, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2015, 2019, 2021)
Sweet Sixteen 10 (1953, 1954, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1986, 1987, 2000, 2006, 2019)
Elite Eight 6 (1953, 1980, 1981, 1986, 1987, 2006)
Final Four 4 (1953, 1981, 1986, 2006)

I really don't care about professional basketball, I am a college fan. Here are some players who had better careers with the Tigers.
1. Bob Pettit
2. Pete Maravich
3. Chris Jackson
4. Shaq
5. Rudy Macklin
6. Stromile Swift
7. Brandon Bass
8. Rickey Blanton
9. Skylar Mays
10. Don Redden
Three of those are in the Hall of Fame and Chris should be but won't because of his political views.
