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.

With no three point line

Pete played for some terrible teams. I’m looking at his teams now. I think he had an appealing style at the time, but I question whether the results match the hype.

That's not hype. That's fact.

I’m talking NBA. I obviously wasn’t there so it’s hard to comment. Hard for him to glamorize a guy that never won anything. Curry is incredibly efficient and won. Pistol Pete seems more like Iverson and had an aesthetically pleasing game that didn’t necessarily lead to winning basketball.PurpleThrobber said:

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. -
The LSU teams were all white and when Pete did get to the NBA the Black players froze him out in Atlanta
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 -
Nothing cracks me up more than the “random old player would DOMINATE in today’s game” argument.
