Start at 6:20

That’s 80,000 people in Tokyo last year, stating after the rest of the competition is over and watching only him in that stadium. When has Justin Jefferson ever kept 80,000 people in a stadium by himself?

It’s totally shocking someone as “worldly” as you wouldn’t have any idea about this

I would never consider a traitor born in the USA representing some other country in the Olympics the greatest LSU athlete ever.

Being a "great" athlete doesn't mean much when you are a mercenary turncoat.

Plenty of times don’t try to compare the nfl to some obscure sport . And pointing Japanese out doesn’t really help your debate .

No dumbasses like you that can only throw insults instead of facts are idiots . I have been around enough and deal with a very diverse group of people and trust me they do not give two shits about a pole vaulter . He maybe popular in Europe (maybe just Sweden ) but football is a much more popular sport worldwide . No one cares about pole vault . Insults aside he has done well for himself but like I said f him . Maybe you should “open your eyes “ dumbass

Where’s the video of Justin jefferson keeping 80,000 people in a stadium? You said it’s happened plenty.

You would definitely know.

Thus proving my point.

Greatest LSU Athlete of all time. It's an impossible question to answer but Mondo would be in the convo.

That people went to a T&F event in Japan? But yeah all 80k were clearly there to watch pole vaulting

Never claimed to be “worldly.” But maybe don’t say stupid shite like “says the guy who’s never been outside the US” as if you’re so cultured you fricking chode

No a pole vaulter is not more popular worldwide than the biggest sports stars in this country. He’s just not. Yes T&F is more popular in Europe than it is in the US. However those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. Get over it.

Joe Burrow gave LSU the greatest football season of all time. No argument. Shaq was a once-in-a-generation freak. Leonard Fournette ran through SEC defenses like they personally offended him. Angel Reese wins and lets you know about it. And yes — Livvy Dunn is hot. All of them are LSU legends.


No mention of Pete Maravich??

He's a great athlete, but you really can't say who the greatest athlete is.

Greatest what ??? Pole-vaulter??? Basketball player??? Football player ???

They're all different sports and each requires different skills.

to the list, including Chad Jones, I would at Tommy Casanova. Maybe the best quarterback in LSU history, the best punt returner and a great running back as he showed his sophomore year. then they switched him to defense full-time.
