Jimmer's 43 brings out the stars on Twitter

Jimmer Shuttlesworth!

Fredette has never seen a shot he didn't like.

Excellent win for BYU at home last night versus a good San Diego State team.

All he needs is baggy socks and a Beatles haircut...Pete Maravich?

They still got that dumb photo of him. Coudn't they come up with something better?

RIP Pistol Pete. Now there was a guy who never met a shot he didn't like. But what really set Pete apart was his ability to handle the ball and create shots and find his teammates.

And he bloodied the noses of a lot of his teammates when they weren't expecting his passes. He could handle the ball and pass as well as shoot it.

Where are you All Out? This was a great win for BYU.

Exactly...

... probably the most creative offensive player I've seen on film.

A guy who could score at will but handle the ball like it was attached to his body.

A basketball marvel.

Morning Buckeyeboy9. You are so right, he was fantastic and I had the luck to get to see him play once, unforgettable. Don't remember the date, against UK, he was one not to take even a small amount lightly.

He was definitely a crowd pleaser.

He used to put on these dribbling clinics where he would dribble multiple basketballs betw his legs simultaneously. He was one of the early players to take disciplined drills to a regimented degree. He had some kind of routine, I forget it now, but it involved around 8 hours a day of basketball related workouts. 300 shots, several hours of dribbling drills as well as playing pick up.
Later players adopted similar routines. Never thought Pete got all the acclaim that he should have. Might be because he played on some average NBA teams or was viewed as a showman/ball hog by others. Not sure but he was fun.

Maravich was a bad MO FO and a lot better passer than this guy.

Morning Colonel. I think you can safely say his college scoring records will never be broken. He avg. 44+ points per game over 4 yrs @ LSU. Think about that. A guy averages 20 pts per game today and he is first team all-american. Of course the game has changed in that no one person on any team is going to take that many shots anymore, but when you think about it it just is amazing. Of course the LSU teams he played on were pretty poor so he was allowed to take the shots and I guess it helps that your dad was the coach of the team.
But all in all amazing.

Chris Jackson was phenomenal at LSU as well...

... back to back 50 pts. games versus Georgetown and UNLV, I believe.

Another great college player... overshadowing Shaq during that time.
