Before Pete Maravich at LSU there was Bob Pettit. Before Dominque Wilkins with the Hawks in Atlanta, there was Bob Pettit with the Hawks in St. Louis. The first great power forward in the game. 11 year career. 11x All Star. 1 of only 7 players to have played 60+ playoff games and averaged 25 pts and 10 rebounds (Dirk, Olajuwon, Jokic, Anthony Davis, Elgin Baylor, & Giannis)
The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame mourns the passing of Bob Pettit, a sleek, skilled big man who revolutionized the forward position during his career. The 11-time NBA All-Star and 2-time MVP retired as the all-time leading scorer in NBA history and left an enduring legacy. He led the St. Louis Hawks to the 1958 NBA championship over the Boston Celtics. The Basketball Hall of Fame salutes this true giant of the game.

RIP Bob Pettit. You can argue that he and Elgin Baylor were the two best forwards of the BAA/NBA’s first quarter-century. His seminal game was a Game 6 50-pointer to win the 1958 title for the Hawks. And check his extraordinary All-Star Game 20-20s.

One of the best players in the game & great person! The first time I met him at LSU -he asked me if my uncle was Toddy Moore who signed with LSU! He told me the same stories my uncle told me of their time together! Many prayers for the family -great people just like him! 🙏🙏🙏

A Baton Rouge native and LSU legend, Pettit was an 11-time NBA All-Star, two-time MVP and NBA champion with the Hawks.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
