No 3 pt line and average over 30

#2??????????????????

The goat team pistol, wilt, bird, magic, Hakeem

He shot 44% from the field....never won a big game....entertaining as hell! He's like Nolan Ryan.. an entertaining player....but vastly overated

Bird was tall as hell....closer to 6'10" Bird could get his shot off from anywhere Long Range, Mid Range and under the hoop. All around scoring machine.

Awesomeness

Seriously, #2? No way

what was the chance that god decided to create 2m06 giant with einstein brain? he did once to show everyone how it looks

What I'd give to see pistol Pete for just one game❤

Right Definitely number 1

Pistol is best college shooter ever. Ever

Never get tired of watching him.❤

Wow, he could have an argument over Jordan 😲

The greatest of all time no one even close

larry legend was all about one thing: team. very few get out of the "me" zone.

Larry, Wilt, Pistol, Magic, Michael. That's my team (I'd put Magic at forward).

Watch these highlights, then go watch the nba finals in 1970. The guy obviously changed the game.

If Pete was #2 in college, who was the #1 best shooter please?!!

Thanks Pete, rest easy.

Lmfao Pete by far and away the most prolific scorer and they said he would have averaged 13 more points a game after they went back and watched film. That's 57 points a friggin game and you've got him as the number 2??!! Pleeeeeeease

number one by any measure...

Heavy

Pistol holds every shooting record to this day. And they'll NEVER be broken. Never! He's number 1!

Larry Legend. Deserved nickname.

I agree with the other guy about whoever made the list and put Pete second after ANYBODY is a crackhead.

Larry bird ! Enough said !

Their was not 1 shooter who was better than Pete! That's all I have to say!!!!!!

With a 3 point circle, he would have averaged 58 points a game in college

Larry Legend averaged 53% from the field in three years at Indiana State

Maravich never won anything in college (no conference or NCAA champions) or the pros (no division, conference, NBA titles). He never played in the NCAA tournament or the NBA playoffs. And only had 1 winning season in college and 1 winning season in the pros. Name another top 50 NBA player with such a sorry career.

Best shooter i ever saw in college was Rick Mount Purdue - over 35 pts / game at a Big 10 School. And he got his team to the finals in 1969 vs UCLA and Alcindor

You could argue pistol was the greatest college basketball player ever

LSU coach charted Pete's career made shots. 13 made threes a game. Would have made for 57 points a game. If that doesn't say enough for Pete what does?

If there was a 3 point line on college Pistol would have averaged 57.8 points a game not 44.2

When the Jazz moved to Utah I went to a couple of the games for the sole purpose of watching Maravich. For some stupid reason the coach had him sitting for most of the game on the bench. I couldn't believe it ! Some years later the coach admitted he should have played Maravich much more than he did. What the hell was he thinking? At least I stared at Maravich sitting on the bench more than I actually stared at the game.

The best in college and pros

No way he's a better shooter than pistol Pete, not in college anyway.

If he’s so famous how come I never heard of him

I can remember Pete start a break hold up across halfcourt then behind the back between his legs fire a 30ft bounce pass to somebody running the wing. Just a 3 or 4 years later did ABA would have should his skills. Call me crazy but Doug Collins was a Pete playmaker. Knee injury hurt his pro career. He was a playmaker with D skills. Won Gold. Oops Turned down silver at 72 games fiasco. Also made Jordan listen enen though it cost him his job with Bulls.

there won't be another one because it's the age of one and done, can you imagine if Kevin Durant stayed for 4 years or Lebron went to college? what if LeBron James went to college you don't think he could average 44 points a game? not to mention Kobe Bryant what if he f****** went to college?

Pistol Pete was the first to bring playground basketball into college and pros.

As long as I live, i'll never forget Pistol Pete Maravich!

Just a shame his pro career didn’t really reflect how truly amazing he was, they weren’t ready for the pistol yet

Nope......Maravich was and always will be No. 1

Obviously iverwadeKG (owner of this post) has always started counting with the number 2.

He did all this in 3 years because they had a rule that freshmen couldn't play varsity ball. Plus no 3 point shot. He might have scored 5000 otherwise. There also wasn't a shot clock so teams could slow it down.

What did this guy ever win in his entire life? As far as I know, he's the ONLY player in the history of the NCAA whose points per game average is higher than his field goal percentage. You take 40 shots a night, you're bound to hit a few. He ain't 1/10th the player John Havlicek was!

Bird was a Killer ~ Pistol Pete was an Entertainer....

44 per game ~ with a Degree of Difficulty @10! Did Pistol ever just get a basic layup? !

Today, if a dude even averaged 30 points per game he would be off to the NBA and who could blame him? I just don't think we'll ever see another player like Maravich in our lifetime, unreal.
