Are from LSU. Starting with Petit, you know the rest!
Tradition demands an emphasis on the Basketball program!
I guess that’s too sentimental a take in this world of cold hard money.

Give us your list. We're talking NCAA BB or NBA?
4 from 1954-what year?
Petit, Maravich, O'Neal, and who? Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf?

Did nobody put Ben Simmons on their list?

Leaving off Bob Petit? Top 4 only starts there, college and pro.

Bob Petit would be Ross Neltner if he were to play in modern times

I don't remember Petit and the game back then was gentlemanly and low-key. Can't compare to even Pistol Pete's era.

You mean Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf? He was #5 on my list

So you decided to start being stupid earlier than usual today.
The real question is, where does Seneca knight rank on your all time lsu MBB list?

Petit held his own against many players like Oscar, Elgin, Wilt, Russell et.al.
He would be just as or even more dominant today, given the training advsnces. And NO ONE could sto the Big Dipper, then or now.
