The answer is no, no you cannot.

![]() I used to follow basketball religously..Not anymore..but..If I had to pick my all time team it would be thus...PF-Moses Malone..SF-Lebron James..C- Abdul-Jabbar..PG-Magic Johnson..SG-Michael Jordan..It is interesting that Power forward is such a hard position to fill..I thought of putting Larry Bird as the SF and just have Lebron play Pf...Boy was I wrong about that guy..Lebron James is a force...He could play all 5 positions I think and would cover for Bird when his guy blows past him...(Elgin Baylor was tough to leave off, as well as Wilt, Cousy, Russell and of course Henry Finkell...

Jerry West 4.John Stockton 5. Bob Pettit 6. John Havlicek 7. Pete Marivich 8. Drazen Petrovich 9.Kevin Greavy 10. Bill Walton Just my opinon.

![]() The rumors are swirling that Darrelle Revis could be on the move. This news is devastating to New York Jets fans not just because he's so good on the field, but think of all of those fans who named pets after him. Can you still have a cat named Revis if he's playing for the New England Patriots? All that aside, is it worth it for your team to get Revis? Well, here are 10 reasons why every team should be interested in him. He has his own island Revis Island has been one of the most feared places on the football field in recent years. Revis owned half of the football field, and it was shown in his statistics. Revis didn't garner a lot of interceptions because teams were afraid to throw to his side And that island is Hawaii But despite the lack of interception totals, Revis was still recognized by his peers as the game's best. Well, maybe Richard Sherman didn't feel that way, but for the most part Revis was recognized as the league's best. Revis has earned four Pro Bowl spots, was selected an All-Pro three t ...

![]() This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17, NLT Pete Maravich was felled by a heart attack at only 40 years of age. "Pistol Pete" was a unique basketball player. Known for his phenomenal ball handling, uncanny passing, and deadly shooting, He set the college and pro basketball world on fire. He still owns a collegiate scoring record with 3,667 points in just 3 years, and he averaged 24.2 points a game during his 10 years as a pro. Through- the-legs dribbling, behind-the-back passing, 50-plus scoring, and floppy socks and hair were his trademarks. Just before his death, he finished his autobiography: Pistol Pete: Heir to a Dream. The book chronicles his love for basketball and his devoted practice as a youth. He would dribble the ball out the car window while his dad drove, and he would dribble blindfolded through the house. He even slept with the ball. The book tells of Pete's close relationship with his dad--and the ...

![]() Dwyane Wade Rank among the All-Time Shooting Guards? By James Christopher Wong on July 1, 2010 Next Drawing comparisons between players of different eras and time periods seems to be a common interest of sports fans. Supporters of the NBA in particular, find themselves constantly surrounded by debates regarding the historical significance of players like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. The question that I keep asking myself is, what about Dwyane Wade? Where does the man known as 'The Flash' rank in history? A recent article, highlighting a writer's opinion on the top 10 shooting guards in NBA History, compelled me to give my personal take on Wade's place in history. When identifying the greatest shooting guards in NBA history, it's relatively easy to pick out Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Jerry West as arguably the top echelon. Who follows after them? George Gervin or Allen Iverson? Clyde Drexler or Pete Maravich? Don't forget Earl Monroe, Joe Dumars and Reggie Miller! In my opinion Wade is already a top- ...

![]() ON THIS DAY.1940 -- The first telecast of an American hockey game is transmitted over station W2XBS in New York. The viewing audience watches the Rangers battle the Montreal Canadians at Madison Square Garden. 1962 -- Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia Warriors scores 67 points, but Richie Guerin scores 50 to lead the Knicks to a 149-135 victory. 1964 -- Cassius Clay wins the world heavyweight title when Sonny Liston is unable to answer the bell for the seventh round at Convention Hall in Miami Beach, Fla. 1977 -- Pete Maravich of the New Orleans Jazz scores 68 points, the most by an NBA guard, in a 124-107 victory over the Knicks. Only Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor had scored more points in an NBA game!!!
![]() I really think Elgin Baylor is one of, if not, the most disrespected legend in NBA history. The guy was 6'5 and averaged 27-13 for his career. Everyone talks about MJ and Dr.J's respective aerial assaults, but Elgin Baylor was the original high-flyer. Elgin still holds an NBA Finals record for most points in a game (61), multiple all-star appearances and All-NBA teams. Elgin Baylor was a top-10 talent in NBA history imo, and the only thing that somewhat holds him back is the lack of a ring. He retired 9 games into his last season due to injuries, and that Lakers team went on to have a 33-game winning streak, and won an NBA title. If Eddy Curry got a ring last year and barely did anything, I don't see the issue with giving Elgin credit for a ring. That's just me though.

On the way in, I found myself next to literally the tallest man I have ever seen! He was a member of one of the past basketball teams honored at half time. He had to be close to 7 ft. tall. LSU beat Alabama in triple overtime 97-94, great game especially since it was against Alabama. It was the first triple overtime in the history of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, PMAC for short. I really got a kick out of the signs that were on the stall doors in the ladies room at the PMAC. It reads "sometimes trying not to touch the toilet seat is a sport too". LOVE IT!

A better passer than he is a shooter!!! * From the Lawrence paper: Future KU guard Conner Frankamp of Wichita North, who set the Wichita City League career scoring record on Friday night against Bishop Carroll, has scored 29, 37, 48, 43, 31, 40 and 37 points in seven games played since his return from a concussion. Frankamp’s jumper from the free throw line with 45 seconds left, gave him 2,233 points, two more than KU freshman Perry Ellis of Wichita Heights. He finished with 37 points in North’s 52-40 victory. “It’s an honor, for sure, especially to do it in front of the fans at North,” Frankamp told the Wichita Eagle. “It’s been a goal of mine all ye ...
![]() Wow is he the second comming of Pistol Pete Maravich? Tgis is amazing video have a look
![]() Pete Maravich would of out scored the gophers whole team.
![]() What is Matta's love of Sam Thompson? He can't rebound, he can't put a shot back up, and he can't shoot. He can dunk. That is about it.
![]() Looking for a Training position?! Come see us represent Pelican State Credit Union at the Career Expo! We will be here from 10am-3pm — with Courtney Mire and Damona Dee at Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
![]() YouTube footage of this precocious, pint-sized point guard's astounding basketball skills helped land him in the Sunday New York Times.
![]() Great day yesterday morning with Greg Bernbrock at Sandler. Bernbrock was an assistant basketball coach at LSU, coached the amazing Pete Maravich, and told wonderful stories very relevant to life and living. He recalled one of my favorite heroes, John Wooden... “It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.”
![]() So I'm watching the Lakers and Celtics old school Finals... For everybody that thinks old school was better than the NBA today your crazy. I can pick at least 10 teams now that would crush these two teams. And Lebron is better MJ! Lmao
![]() Two thoughts for the day. Mike Jordan is not the best baller ever, Bill Russell is. And, I gotta stop praying to God so I can "feel" better, and start praying for His name to be glorified, no matter how I feel.
![]() College Basketball Road test for LSU (15-8 Overall and 6-6 in the SEC) TONIGHT AT TENNESSEE . New LSU Head Coach Johnny Jones' team has won 5 of 6 ... and a win tonight would be BIG . The Volunteers are 14-10 / 6-6 also. ... and the pundits are saying Coach Jones has put together a TOP RECRUITING CLASS that will call the Pete Maravich Assembly Center home next Winter. IT'S A BUILDING PROCESS ... and with a Good Finish to the Season in the closing games ahead ... IT COULD HAPPEN SOONER THAN LATER . . . Wishing Johnny Jones and LSU, Continued Success . . . Pat

![]() Watched the 1 on 1 interview w MJ las night...watchin them rivalries took me right back to bein a kid watchn the great 1.he summed up the diffrence between then n now..he said he played because he had "love and passion for the game" .guys now play for "love n passion for the fame"...lol...Jordan was the best because he mentaly prepared himself to be the best!.HAGD FOLKS...OSNI OUT THURR!!
![]() Who would be on your Mt. Rushmore of Basketball??? Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Jerry West, Julius Erving
![]() This is question that ESPN asked today, "Who is on your Mount Rushmore of sports?"
![]() Tired of hearing all of the MJ, Kobe, Lebron talk. Jordan was the best that the game has seen or ever will see! Period! Watched a few of his old games on ESPN classic the last couple of days and all it did was reconfirm it!!
![]() If someone was taking bets on who would be dead first, Jerry Buss or Magic Johnson circa '92, they probably made a killing today...
![]() of these 10 players, who would you say was the greatest of all time in college: Lew Alcondor, David Thompson, Micheal Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Len Bias, Pete Marivich, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Elvin Hayes, Larry Bird.
![]() My late dad, who was with ABS CBN NEWS in the 60s, used to take me with him to the Bohol Ave Republic on Sundays during my elementary days. He'd give some of his cafeteria chits and after grabbing some adobo rolls, I'd sneak in to the Master Control room in the basement to watch NBA games in between tearing out the newsprint rolls from the teletype booth. Some of the names that I remember are; Bill Russel, Wilt Chamberlain, John Havlicek, Jerry West, Sam Jones,Gail Goodrich, Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Pete Maravich, Lew Alcindor (Kareem),Don Nelson, Kevin McHale,Dave de Buschere,Wes Unseld among others. Post martial law came Darrel Dawkins, Doug Collins, Julius Erving, George McGinnis,Bill Walton,George Gervin,Earvin Johnson...and the rest made history.
![]() There are plenty of arguments for why Jordan is better than Lebron but please quit telling me it is because of championships! If that is the case, then here is a list of the top 6 players of all time!!! Notice Lebron or Jordan or Bird or Magic are not on the list! 1. Bill Russell (11 championships) 2. Sam Jones (10 championships) 3. Tom Heinsohn (8 championships) 4. John Havlicek (8 championships) 5. KC Jones (8 championships) 6. Tom Sanders (8 championships) Most people would only know 2 names on this list. *** even Robert Horry gets an honorable mention with 7 championships, 1 more than Jordan and 2 more than Kobe! So are we now saying that Robert Horry is better than Jordan! Also, here's a list of the best players to never win a championship! I want everyone to keep in mind championships don't mean everything. This is coming from the guy who usually got stuck on the crappy team because of shoddy drafting rules!!! 1. Charles Barkley 2. Patrick Ewing 3. Dominique Wilkins 4. Pete Maravich 5. A ...
![]() Chris Paul is slick wow all star MVP 3rd player ever to have have 20-15 in an allstar game best guard ever when he's done? Who were some other great guard besides AI
![]() So my son never heard of Pistol Pete Maravich? Well thank God for Google. Yes, he's white. No, Kyrie Irving didn't invent this fancy dribbling and passing stuff. It's been around for decades son!
![]() So who's your favorite (not necessarily the best) basketball player of all time? Mine is Wayman Tisdale with Larry Bird a close 2nd.
![]() Happy birthday to the greatest basketball player, actually athlete, to ever play the game, Michael Jordan. He made the game an international sensation and ended up becoming bigger than the game. I wish i was old enough to watch him play. I wouldn't mind seeing him come out of retirement at 50, there's a few references that make it seem possible.
![]() Good evening. What is everyone up to? Anyone watching the All Star game? Who is your favorite basketball player of all time?
![]() Happy Birthday MJ, Greatest player to ever play the game...
![]() It's official ! My winning streak in H-O-R-S-E is over. Laz dethroned me on "one- handed bank swish". Floppy hair courtesy of Pete Maravich collection.
![]() I respect some of your opinions on sports but if you say Lebron is better than Michael Jordan please start following American Idol or something cuz you're wacked
![]() I used to watch the all star NBA games when Dr.J, Wilt the Stilt, George Gervin, Rick Barry, Jerry West,Bill Russell, Pete Maravich, Alex English, Connie Hawkins,Paul Westpaul, Down town Freddie Brown, Jojo White, Sam Jones, Oscar Robinson, Lew Alcindor ( Kareem Jabbar), Doug Collins, Gail Goodrich, Bob Lànier, Artis Gilmore, Bob Love, Keith Wilkes, Lenny Wilkens, Walt Frasier, Earl Monroe, Benard King, Bobby Jones, Maurice Lucas, Jerry Sloan, Sidney Wicks, Dave Debushere, Bill Bradley and more but the game was so much better with so many skilled players that made the NBA fun to watch. If Lebron or Durant or Kobe not playing it is not worth watching am I right I think so.
![]() Pete Maravich. I just wanted to say that. Oh, the history is large.
![]() Mj is the best basketball player ever in my eyes...sorry lebron u will never have the heart he had
![]() LSU Trivia/Fact for the Day: Here's an amazing stat: An LSU Men's Basketball player has scored over 50 points in a game 30 times...but only 4 players have reached that mark: Pete Maravich (24 times), Chris Jackson (4 times), Bob Pettit (1 time) and Shaquille O'neal (1 time).GEAUX TIGERS!!! (Can you imagine what Pistol Pete could have averaged/scored with a 3 point line back in the day?).
![]() Happy Birthday...Michael Jordan! The Greatest "PRO" Basketball of all time! Note "PRO".the best college basketball player I ever saw with any doubt was."Pistol Pete" Maravich. Those that never seen him play in college (LSU) and his shortened pro career.I'm sorry that you have missed a great player and a real pleasure to watch. His records in college still stand today! Keep in mind that the 3pt area was not inforce at the time. Those that have never seen or heard of him do some research on GOOGLE about him.you will be AMAZED!...PROMISE!
![]() Micheal Jordan turns 50 today. Is he the greatest to play the game?

Mi-Mi-'s sorry she couldn't be there to cheer you on but I know today is one of the days you will be able to dribble that basketball!
![]() "If Micheal Jordan and Lebron James play one on one ten times mike will win 10 times ".Magic Johnson said that
![]() Can't wait until I get a bunch of dirty looks when I wear my Texas basketball shirt to work tonight
![]() I've decided that if Earl Scruggs was the Pete Maravich of banjo pickers, which he certainly was, then Bela Fleck must be the whole doggone Dream Team all by himself. And I mean the first and only Dream Team, not recent pretenders. Whew. That cat can flat do some stuff with a banjo.
![]() Anyone have a suggestion on a Basketball icon to draw? Lmk if you do! Thanks.
![]() Going into the studio tomorrow to record our first original songs!
![]() In honor of the Pointer girls, my dawgs, watched Air Bud with Fayth this morning. The girls need to play tonight, and in the next couple of weeks with the heart and determination of the team in the movie. But please, try not to shoot with your noses!!
![]() to all you basketball fans: whos the greatest player of ALL TIME?
![]() jordan sais kobe. LA is my team but Lebron is the man
![]() Jordan, Kobe, Lebron...best player ever? For me I still say the best ever was a guy by the name of Magic...and that's coming from a Celtics fan.
![]() This is nuts: "...former LSU head basketball coach Dale Brown charted every college game [Pete] Maravich played, taking into consideration all shots he took. Brown calculated that at the NCAA rule of a three-point line at 19-foot (5.8 m), 9-inches from the rim, Maravich would have averaged thirteen 3-point scores per game, lifting the player's career average to 57 points per game."
![]() I love the Celebrity All-Star Game. Arnie Duncan is assisting like Pistol Pete Maravich
![]() Who are the best players of all time in each sport: Here are my picks: NFL: Jerry Rice (good debate on this one about Barry Sanders, Jim Brown) MLB: Babe Ruth (714 HRs, 94 wins and 2.28 career ERA as pitcher) NBA: Jordan (no debate at all for me, despite what LeBron fans say. Bill Russell was mentioned several times, but he was 6-9, 215 pounds. Kevin Durant is 6-9 and 235. Russell played a different sport in a lot of ways) College football: Herschel Walker (tough one here, lots of choices) College basketball: Pete Maravich (not even close, averaged 44.2 points per game for his career at LSU) Golf: Tiger (no debate for me, much better than Nicklaus at his best) NHL: Gretzky (yes, over Lemieux)
![]() Taking a poll! Who is the best NBA player of all time. I have 3 choices below. You choose one or comment with your own. A) Lebron James B) Michael Jordan C) Pete Maravich
![]() Your playin a pick-up game of bball... All u need is a shooting guard and the only 2 left are Dwayne Wade and "Pistol" Pete Maravich... Who do you pick?
![]() Do you have a better all time college Basketball team? Not what they did as pros rather in college. Mine is by position: -Bill Russell, C, San Francisco,1st team all am 2x"s, 2 NCAA titles -Oscar Pobertson, F, Cincy,1st team all am 3xs, player of yeay 3x's and could only play 3 yrs since freshman did not play till 70's. -David Thompson, F, NCSU, First team all am, 2x's, NCAA title, 26ppg -Pete Maravich, G, LSU, NCAA title, 1st team all am 3x's, 44 ppg -Bobby Hurley, Duke, NCAA Championship, numbres of records Honorable mention (5): Lew Alcindor, Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain, Tim Duncan, Michael Jordan.
![]() People will hate me for this but I think Michael Jordan is way overrated. 1st he hit the nba when there was very little competition. A lull in top talent teams. 2nd after winning the 3 titles and retiring the bulls only won 2 less games the next season and still went to the conference championship. You might argue well they won 72 when he came back.. yes but that is also the year they picked up Dennis Rodman. 3rd he was Nike's first golden boy so he was over advertised to build up an exaggerated persona of greatness to make nike money (think Rocky movies only not fixed) if anything scottie pippen should be hailed as the best player ever. But because he wasn't flashy it fell on the ego of Jordan. I still think Jordan is a top 5 player but nowhere near the stratosphere he is viewed in. (For those of you who dont follow sports his 50th bday is coming up)
![]() I dont care what anyone says. These three are the best three players to grace the game of basketball
![]() Idk what anyone say Vince Carter when he retires is going in the HOF
![]() Question for the fellas. Now, in my lifetime black men have been slightly superior to white men athletically. So in a 5 on 5 basketball game of all pro's, past and present, who would represent each side? Obviously Jordan and Bird are the captains.
![]() Todays LSU Trivia/Fact: Pete Maravich was a legend with the Basketball.in 1969-70 season he averaged 44.5 ppg and 44.2 ppg for his 3 year career at LSU...Both NCAA Records that still stand today!! GEAUX TIGERS!!
![]() Just finished watching "The Pistol" with the family. The boys are ready for some basketball! Lol
![]() In honor of NBA Allstar Weekend, I present my all time NBA cool team: "Pistol" Pete Maravich, Artis Gilmore, Dr. J, Shaq, MJ.
![]() To me, if you want to make an argument that Jordan was the greatest basketball player ever, I'm going to respect that. However, in my opinion, Oscar Robertson and Jabbar have a case too. Maybe even LeBron and Kobe when it's all said and done. It's not cut and dry.
![]() Free throws used to be a Tarheel advantage over its opponents
![]() Um, why has ESPN been celebrating Michael Jordan's 50th birthday all week? Everyone knows Pistol Pete Maravich is the best player in history. Are we celebrating birthdays of the 2nd best now? For more evidence of MJs brain damage, YouTube his hall of fame speech.
![]() Ok this would be my starting 5 of all-time fav...im not sayin these r da best at their position though a few could be considered yet...im just sayin these r da 1s I have in mind as my favorite... PG: Pistol Pete Maravich - now I wasn't old enough ta see him play but da old footage i've seen is amazing and turned his life over to God with message b4 he was taken home SG: John Stark - Tulsa's own...he was not only considered to be Ewing's no. 2 many years in NY, but he also have done so much for my community SF: Kevin Durant - 1 of da most versitile "big" man of all-time...this humble superstar really know how ta rep OKC PF: Tim Duncan - quietly could be da 2nd best player of his era (next to Kobe)...many consider him ta be da best PF of all-time C: Wilt Chamberlain - scored 100, Harlem Globe Trotter, 1 of da best Lakers of all-time...all the ex)erience he had with women I think he had 1 of best quotes of all-time b4 he died..."It's more satisfying to experience 1 woman 1000 times than to experience 1000 wo ...
![]() Im not into religion, im into christanity a fellowship a relarionship with Jesus...- Pete Maravich
![]() Unlike tennis, golf, bowling, etc., the number of championships is not a gauge of talent in team sports. Why do people think it is? Is Forrest Gregg the best football player ever (he has the most rings)? Is Trent Dilfer better than Dan Marino? Brad Johnson better than Dan Fouts? Cody Ross, Mickey Hatcher, and Alex Gonzalez each have more world series rings than Ted Williams, Ken Griffey Jr., and Ernie Banks COMBINED. Add up all the championships won by Pete Maravich, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller and Patrick Ewing and it is 7 fewer than James Loscutoff.
![]() Olivia asked me who my favorite sports stars were growing up. Steve Prefontaine, Edwin Moses, Ayrton Senna, Nolan Ryan, Pete Maravich, and Pele. While arguably not the best athletes of all time in their sport, they were each insanely competitive and on a given day could make their competition look like a complete joke.
![]() Coach Phog Allen, Oscar Robertson, Pete Maravich, Jerry Lucas, Lew Alcindor, Wilt Chamberlain. Think they would win in March today?
![]() Pistol Pete! 2/7/1970: LSU guard Pete Maravich sets an NCAA record for most points scored against a Division I opponent, but the Tigers lose 106–104 to Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Pistol Pete pumps in 69 with 26 field goals and 17 free throws. Both Pete and his father Press, who is LSU’s head coach, are assessed with technical fouls during the game. Pete pursues a spectator as he leaves the floor at the end of the game, and several of his teammates become involved in a fight with fans. Pete’s 69-point flurry will stand as the record until Kevin Bradshaw of US International nets 72 against Loyola-Marymount in 1991. B I R T H D A Y S Dan Quisenberry b. 1953 Carney Lansford b. 1957 Rick Neuheisel b. 1961 Juwan Howard b. 1973 Steve Nash b. 1974
![]() "Jesus transformed my life. I don't want to put past tense on that because he continues to transform my life. I want to share that truth with people. I don't Bible-beat, I don't Bible thump anybody, because Christ is a choice. But I can tell people this. That it's the greatest life in the world. Your circumstances may not disappear, they may even get worse, but through him you can overcome." Pete Maravich "pistol Pete.
![]() "Playing at Torrey Pines would be like playing Pete Maravich at horse" lol nice
![]() Usually deal with Grey Flannel. If your looking for "PISTOL" Pete Maravich memorabilia look no further.
![]() I didn't know Pete Maravich was on NBA 2K13..
![]() Jackson just watched The Pistol - the movie about Pete Maravich. Now he's dribbling around the house making trick passes. Here comes the next Pistol!
![]() Pistol Pete Maravich doesn't get much credit
![]() For those who haven't had the privilege to see the magic that a man named Pistol Pete Maravich brought to the NBA:
![]() I think I rolled an ankle just thinking about it. BTW.Pete Maravich died of a heart attack at a men's pick up game. Just sayin.
![]() Have an assignment to interview a guy that played ball with Rick Mount and roomed with Pete Maravich. Bet he'll have some great stories!
![]() P.M.--"pistol' Pete Maravich revolutionized the game of basketball--he was 'showtime' basketball.
![]() Are there any Pete Maravich tributes this week?
![]() I need to find someone to take my babies senior pictures...I want them to have OPTIONS...and I am upset that some members of my family and my children's won't attend their graduation cause it's on a Tuesday.. *** we have told y'all at least 6 months in advance...what you can't take time off from your job...Well I took care of them all they lives why should this be any different.Ranting cause my daughter is upset...when she upset it puts me in a different place...it's good...cause God going to take her hurt away..There is nothing like BEING THERE WHEN IT'S IMPORTANT! May 13, 2013 @ 6pm at the Pete Maravich Center At LSU!
![]() choosing to do my English research paper on Pete Maravich >>
![]() Im sorry i have to say it putting a - in the middle of a word is just dumb is there even a point to it?
![]() I ain't gonna lie I'd smoke a blunt with snoop and snort a line with Rick James and get drunk with Pete Maravich
![]() My all time favorite player is Pete Maravich..
![]() Darrius be talking about himself as if he the next Pete Maravich .
![]() Game on the line and labron James is no where near the ball sorry Sinjin Black he is by far not the goat
![]() | One Last Game: Pete Maravich died during a pick-up game of basketball but didn't finish that game.
![]() Pete Maravich was a thing of beauty to witness. His skills across the board were phenomenal. Still and always will hold the NCAA record for ppg for a career(44.6 at LSU). If there was a 3 point line in those days it might be double that stat. Sported gray floppy socks and every kid wanted to be him. He could pass the ball thru a keyhole and the best dribbler I ever saw outside the Globetrotters Marcus Haynes. Yepper, "the Pistol" was something to behold.
![]() Wow! I just finished the book "PISTOL, The life of Pete Maravich" and what an amazing life/story! Only peace he ever found was in being saved!
![]() how can you have an all time team without the best scorer in College basketball history in the starting 5? Pete Maravich!
![]() The Wildcats play LSU tonight and everytime they play them I think about Pete Maravich. Pete would score 50 or 60 and Dan issel would get 30 or 40--Rupp's strategy would be to let Pete score at will and stop the other guys. It worked because LSU never beat UK during Pete's career--Pete was some kind of player though--none better!!
![]() Pete Maravich- one of the best basketball players who ever lived
![]() New Orleans Pelicans? Remember when they were the New Orleans Jazz with Pistol Pete Maravich? Now they're the 'Pelicans.' And these marketing folks really get ~paid~ for this?
![]() Wish you could have seen Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Pete Maravich’s first ever NBA game? What about Clyde Frazier and Elvin Hayes from the intense Baltimore-New York rivalry of the '70s or a gem from the Bird/Magic Celtics/Lakers '80s clashes? Well, now you can with this ultimate NBA classic playlist of rarely seen games. It's an NBA fan's dream and it's all at your fingertips:
![]() So, the NBA Hornets will become the Pelicans. Me, I was really rooting for a four-team, five-city deal where the Hornets name reverted to Charlotte, the Jazz to New Orleans (RIP Pete Maravich), the Grizzlies to Utah (hey, it worked in hockey) and the Memphis franchise to Vancouver.
![]() "O'Mah Frickin' Guud'Nis!!!" What the heck is really goin' on? I walk in, turn on the TV and I'm greeted by a press conference. The New Orleans Hornets will be called the New Orleans Pelicans. Coulda taken a lesson from ATL.it's a bad omen to give a professional team the name of a dadgum bird, particularly one that was nearly extinct.a real "dodo" decision. Lawd Ham'Mercy!!!
![]() Stephan Curry has more BASKETBALL SKILL than any other point guard in the NBA.
![]() It's minus 28 and my POWER just went out. This is not good, folks.
![]() While watching Miami blow out Duke tonight, I was glad they showed Rick Barry's retired jersey hanging in the rafters. Barry scored the most points at a game I attended when he hit for 52 with the New York Nets against the Carolina Cougars. Barry always shot his free throws underhanded and had a 90 lifetime percentage. wonder why no one else learned how to shoot like that.
![]() GOOD LUCK TIGERS ! LSU Men’s Basketball team is hoping for their first SEC win tonight and are scheduled to take on A&M Aggies at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at 7:00 p.m. LSU’s young team started strong early in the season with a 9-2 start, but have went 0-4 in their last four games. Injuries are hampering the Tigers as Corban Collins will be out tonight recovering from a concussion and a cut above his eye he received during last Saturday’s game against Georgia. Eddy Ludwig will not play tonight as well, as he is still recovering from a practice injury and Charles Carmouche’s knee problems may also keep him out of tonight’s game.
