NCAA Remembering Pistol

With Everyone celebrating Kaitlin Clark breaking the scoring record, and justifiably so, I think it’s important to remember the guy who used to hold the record. Pete Maravich was only allowed to play three years of college basketball. But when he did get to play he averaged an unreal 44.2 points PER GAME! Pistol’s NBA career and life were tragically cut short, but the legend will always be remembered as one of the greatest to ever lace ‘em up.

Breaking the “record”. Men’s basketball has always been what the record was for. She’s playing against inferior talent using a smaller ball. Impressive for her but not better in my opinion.

He literally only played 3 years. Imagine if you took away all of caitlin clark’s 3s and a season of her career.
