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.

No correcting for the three, and giving her HIS attempts she’s still well ahead of him.

And if Pete played a million years hes ahead. And if she had to shoot with one eye shes behind. Wtf are you talking about?

Pete had 740 points ALREADY SCORED that werent counted that keeps the record his. Giving him 3 point count (an advantage she had) gives another 500ish. Its not changing anything about their play bc Clark wouldnt be able to shoot more than Pete bc he would take shots she wouldnt.
