I haven't seen a better pure shooter since Chris Jackson.

The only other shooter (college) that I remember seeing that was close was Kyle Macy of Kentucky.

--I never saw Pete Maravich (who was better than CJ)
--I only saw George Gervin and Alex English as pros, and they also had some of the best shooting skills I've ever seen.

If you watch the video again, watch how fricking fast CJ gets his jumpshot off. There is nobody in the NBA or college who can get off a J that quick anymore. All these guys care about is "takin' it to tha hoop, yo". The 15-20 foot jump shot is a skill and an art, and you can't learn it if all you want to do is posterize someone.

Speaking of Gervin, I remember CJ finger rolling in a 3 pointer against UNLV.

Shot didnt count though because of a foul away from the ball, but it was still awesome

No, it was a home game because I was there. I had season tix at the time. I've never been to a LSU road game except for the Shaq vs TX in the Dome game.
