I saw him play his senior year at the Alexandria dome in state finals and I had never seen a high school player dominate a game the way he did. Two minutes into the ball game you knew the other team was going to be the state runner-up. He was truly an amazing thing to watch. He could do it all.

Why did I think Billy Hoyle played at Centenary all this time? I could have sworn that’s where he told Sidney he played.

Anyone ever heard of Karl Malone?


Was scrolling through the topic and was pretty disappointed it took this long for his name to even be mentioned.

He never says the name. Just some small school in Louisiana.

I cannot believe nobody has mentioned Bob Pettit yet. The greatest NBA PF of all time, HOF, top 50 players all time, greatest Hawk in history, LSU legend, 11 seasons, 11 all stars, 4x all star MVP. Beat the legendary Celtics during their absurd run for the Championship. From Baton Rouge. It's crazy he is always overlooked..

Took almost 2 pages before you mentioned him. He was much better than Parish, can't believe he was mentioned that many times before Malone.
