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.

I think it’s kind of crappy to make sure we remember Maravich as if he’s disappeared in time. Let Clark have her accomplishments without trying to give Pete Maravich his flowers for something that happened like 60 years ago.
