    I don't have much of an opinion on Maravich. But George Gervin was an example of someone who scored tons while on lousy teams, and therefore was a ad overrated.

    But he could finger roll.

    Pete Maravich was voted in as one of the 50 Greatest NBA Players during their 50th Anniversary as selected by a boat of 'experts' including former players and coaches. You want to drop him off with a few players subsequent to 1996, go ahead -but there are somewhere between 6 and 10 players that need to GTFO before Pistol Pete. Check the voters. Pretty decent list of basketball playres, coaches and media voting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Greatest_Players_in_NBA_History

    I'd probably drop Sam Jones, Hal Greer, Red Kerr, Dave DeBusschere, Dave Bing and Jerry Lucas before Pistol Pete - sub in Lebron, Kobe, Garnett, and a few more.


    Gervin was one of the Top 50 of All Time, too.

    Tommy and Roadie just be hating on whitey. And trolling. Or abundantly doing some whitey hating trolling.

    Let's see some videos or gifs of defenses beating the shit out of him or anyone in that time period.



    Another whitey hating troll.

    The NBA in the 70's and 80's was WWE wrestling. Hand checking was legal, for christ sake.

    I said drop 6 or 7 out. Go ahead and toss whoever you want.

    Your reading comprehension used to be a lot better.

    There are a lot more than 6 or 7 guys since 1997 that belong. That’s crazy. Like Tommy said, 24 years is a long time.

    You can’t arguably say Pete Marinovich is better than Kawaii Leonard. He’s not better than Curry. Not better than Wade. He’s not even better than Westbrook, Paul, and Harden. Add Tony Parker to the list.

    Ones that certainly belong since that list: Duncan, Kobe, KG, Dirk, LeBron, Wade, Curry, Durant.

    Probably: Kidd, Leonard, Paul Pierce

    Next tier: Nash, Thompson, Westbrook, Paul, Ginobili, Parker, Payton, Ray Allen, Giannis (for now, but will end top 50 unless a career ending injury happens).

    Pete had more influence than many of these guys, but he wasn’t better.

    Pick 10 then. Make a new 50 list. You fail to account for how older players would adapt to new coaching, new strength training, new nutrition, new playing style. And conversely, you're not going to see Westbrook and Harden doing some of the shit they do these days back in, say, 1979. They just wouldn't. You have to account for the era in which they played.

    Christ, the all time Celtics used to smoke cigarettes at halftime. That doesn't mean you'd knock Bill Russell out of the Top 50.

    Pistol Pete was this shit. Ginobili...GTFO with that shit. C'mon, man. You're being obtuse.

    Winners win.

    Pete didn't win shit.

    I'm all in on the Larry Bird is an all time great and could play in any era argument. He got rings.

    Petey? Notsomuch.
