Everyone knows Pete holds the college scoring record with 44 per game but something a lot of a people dont know is that The former LSU head coach marked down every shot he made and said that if there was a 3 pt line he would of averaged 13 3's per game and upped his average to 57 pts per game.

larreey I never said Press Maravich , i said former LSU head coach... Dale Brown to be specific. But you probably know more than him considering he only coached at LSU for 25 years. Oh do you want a source? well here you go en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Maravich its under college, second paragraph. Maybe next time before you spout your mouth off like an internet tough guy you should think twice pal
@swaggerbrian199210 жыл бұрын
larreey if your read another biography like Pistol, that piece of information would be in there about making 57 points a game. There is a documentary called Pistol: The Life and Times of Pete Maravich, and that would also be in there as well. "Try separating myth from the legend next time ya post somethin on Pistol. Poseur" (larrey, march 2014). I think this applies to you.

And Cousy declared In the book "I remember Pete Maravich" that if Pete was ever allowed to play the point guard position because he had players to compliment him he would have been the best ever at that position. He stated that in terms of creativity only Pete was in the same class as him. Pete's passing abilities and ability to create his won shot were unique at that position.

The shorter college 3 point line that exists today would have added 7-11 more points every game to Maravich's 44 pt. average. The generous assist system now used in the NBA would have added 6 more assists per game to his assist average. Greatest passer I have ever seen and I'm 62 years old watching the NBA for 45++ years.
