Now is a good chance to catch up on your history. SEC Storied has a good Pistol doc. Guy was unreal and ahead of his time. When someone wants you to suck Steph Curry's dick tell them you belong to Pete
Also noted in the article is the 24-2 USC team that lost to UCLA twice and won the CCA tournament because only the champ went to the Big Dance which was small. Paul Westphal was on the team

He's still the leader collegiate scorer with no 3 point shot. Dude AVERAGED 44.2 ppg on twos. That's unreal. You can't tell me he didn't knock down 3 or 4 current trey length shots per game if that had been in effect. Probably more like 5 or 6.
By the time he got to the Celtics and a winning team, his knees were shot. But back in the day, if you could somehow catch a Hawks game (rarely), he was the shit.
Yeah - fuck Steph Curry. Pete was dropping 45 while getting mugged by defenders.
That's not hype. That's fact.
In the article Race posted, he went 18-43 and scored 50. The LSU teams weren’t very good either and played all white guys.
If you get the SEC Network its on around 2AM tomorrow morning. Record it
Maravich was a unique player.
The following season (1976–77) was his most productive in the NBA. He led the league in scoring with an average of 31.1 points per game. He scored 40 points or more in 13 games,[22] and 50 or more in 4 games.[23] His 68-point masterpiece against the Knicks[24][25] was at the time the most points ever scored by a guard in a single game, and only two players at any position had ever scored more: Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor.[26] Baylor was head coach of the Jazz at that time.
Maravich earned his third all-star game appearance and was honored as All-NBA First Team for the second consecutive season.
You aren't one of the top 5 twice if you can't play
Sounds like you care
