Dale Brown (former coach of LSU) did play-by-play analysis on Pete Maravich's college games.

The analysis found that Pete would've averaged 13 three-point MAKES per game and 57 ppg.

Pete's career average in three years of college WITHOUT the 3-point line was 44 ppg.

Curry ain't ****in with that.. Maravich was taller, bigger and stronger, with greater athleticism - this was necessary to score in a rougher, more compacted/congested 2-point environment.

[Gileraracer]

That's why he's called Pistol Pete :applause:

[Alamо]

nice

[sdot_thadon]

Right, because they heavily defended a line that didn't exist. :rolleyes:

Pistol was a badass indeed, perhaps the og. But if this isn't the dumbest idea you've support an insecurity thread with it's up there.

Don't you realize with this idea you kinda prove curry supporters theory of how he'd still ball, with or without the line..

[ShawkFactory]

Goddammit your threads are stupid

[Papaya Petee]

1.) They're discussing the college 3 point line, not NBA, so in the NBA he wasn't hitting 13 3's a game
2.) The defense didn't defend a line that didn't exist
3.) Curry plays in a more advanced, athletic, better defensive era. Comparing them two is like apples and oranges
4.) You're stupid, and Jordan sucks

[stalkerforlife]

Pistol Pete was a hell of a player, but he was exposed at the NBA level.

Curry is much better.

[bigkingsfan]

Sounds like he's even better than Jordan.

[TemporaMutantur]

With an average set of social skills, 3ball would've made 13 friends and 57 dollars per rim-job.

An analysis has shown, that any consistent demonstrations of positive or remotely affable traits by the man who goes by the pseudonym "3ball" would have resulted in a much more favorable social life.

However, the unfortunate reality is that his dogmatic and overzealous manners of behavior has left him ostracized and reprimanded by the public.

Some speculate that it is sheer miracle that he has not pulled the plug, as a specialist in statistics estimates, at a 95% confidence interval, that 97 out of 100 people in the same position as 3ball would have killed themselves at least 5 years ago.

In reality, 3ball has no friends (1 friend according to his own reportings) and makes only 50 cents per rim-job administered.

MJ has alluded in a recent interview, that the rim-jobs administered by (an unspecified party) have been subpar at best, but the prices offered are fair.

[AirFederer]

Is 3Ball = Lazeruss :eek:

[Straight_Ballin]

Maravich in today's game? Without transferring his game from back then into present day and instead growing up at the same time as Curry? There's no way to know if his overall game would be as good as Curry or not, but he'd be one hell of a shooter no doubt.

[sd3035]

What were Curry's college stats - how did they compare to 57 ppg and 13 three-point makes per game
.

[Pushxx]

It's sad how his career ended in Boston. Fought so hard to get back in shape. It was too little too late. His relationship with Fitch had become toxic.

He was just worn out. If Maravich grew up in today's era he would be a fan favorite ala Curry.

How do Curry's college stats WITH a 3-point line (and therefore much better spacing) compare to Maravich's 44.2 ppg WITHOUT a 3-point line (no spacing)?

The answer is obvious - Curry's performance DOESN'T compare.. that is all

OP is SHOOK that Currys team's gonna break Jordans win record

i don't usually reply to op since he's such a pathetic L but this thread is another pathetic L.

only 1 player in the history of any level of basketball in America (and as far as we could find a few years back.... in the entire world) has done 50ppg for a season and that was done right in the NBA not some college league.

Even that player didn't do 50 in high school or college... he had to grow entirely up to get to his max ability.

Dude had a career FG% of 44% in the pros.:oldlol:

Curry's career 3P% is better, 44.2%, than Maravich's career FG%, 44.1%:facepalm

[RRR3]

Not only is Curry better than Ordan at basketball, he is a better person too. Curry in MJ's weak ass era would probably average 45 PPG on 60/55/92

[deja vu]

Agree.

He'd be Curry on steroids.

Better playmaker too.

[ShaqTwizzle]

Reggie Miller dropped 32-ppg on 69%TS in a playoff series against the Knicks (#1 defense) in the early 90's but according to 3ball Curry would be a scrub back then...

You're right about Curry being a better person. That is 100% not debatable. Jordan was and is one of the biggest assholes on earth. I grew up as a huge Jordan fan and I respect his abilities as a basketball player, but the guy is a pretty terrible human being.

[PistolPete]

Exposed? Hardly. Look up Pistol's healthy years in the NBA. The man was Magic before there was Magic Johnson.

If anything, Pistol is an enigma. He shouldn't have even been alive yet play for as long he did.

Pistol Pete was a badass. I have no doubt he'd be a top 5 PG today.

Would he be better than Curry? I'm not sure. I don't think so, but he'd certainly be able to do things that Curry cannot, especially with his passing. Guy was incredible go check out a Pistol highlight vid.

[72-10]

Right, because they heavily defended a line that didn't exist. :rolleyes:

Pistol was a badass indeed, perhaps the og. But if this isn't the dumbest idea you've support an insecurity thread with it's up there.

Don't you realize with this idea you kinda prove curry supporters theory of how he'd still ball, with or without the line..

exactly my thoughts:cheers:

[3ball]

In Maravich's era, 2-pointers is all that both teams had to score - those shots had to be defended - teams weren't letting each other score.

The ONLY reasonable assumption is that Maravich's 2-pointers were defended the same way his 3-pointers would be - otoh, your notion that guys weren't guarding his jumpshots is obviously pretty dumb.

what's an og?.. that description of Maravich means nothing - it's your way of saying you don't respect his game (because you have no clue what you're watching when you watch basketball).

Also, this thread isn't dumb - it's NECESSARY to point out that Maravich made 13 shots from 19'9" or further (college 3-pointers) during his college career... unless you prefer the data to be a secret.





Don't you realize with this idea you kinda prove curry supporters theory of how he'd still ball, with or without the line..


How

In the 70's NBA, Curry's shots inside 20 feet would be far better contested, since defenders didn't have to guard the 3-point line (there was no 3-point line).. That's why DRtg was literally 10 points lower in the 70's - defenders guarded a smaller surface area (2-point area only)..

The lack of spacing along with tougher rules made the game much rougher and tougher.. Obviously, the fragile Curry is exact type of player that would fare worse under these conditions - we saw what happened when Dellevadova got rough with Curry... All of a sudden Curry was flustered and OC (out of control).

[72-10]

no they didn't it's a low percentage two point shot

just like defenses will not really regret letting a post player take a 20 footer because it's low percentage

i cited an example, pretty sure they weren't guarding Maravich tight on shots that far out considering that they were low percentage and worth two points

and the '96 Bulls were stacked, not quite like the Cs but pretty darn close

You post like a bitch because you don't quote what you trying to respond to.. You make the original poster guess what you're responding to.

It's a passive, bitch move - you're just scared to engage too specifically and risk getting ethered like you did with the Celtics/Bulls comparison.

Pistol Pete played against all white competition in College.

I have to give a round of a hand to 3ball though...this old man has picked up all the worst attributes of the teenagers in this day...the guy runs his chapped mouth with the best of them.

[3ball]

nice.. NCAA was fully-integrated long before Maravich played college ball.

also, if Maravich played against white players, so did Kareem... yet his college career is used as a basis to say his hoops career > Jordan's...

it always comes back to the goat in the end

Did they document Bo or Neuman making 13 shots per game outside of 19'9" (college 3-point distance)?

If not, then your post is irrelevant - the point of the thread is to show that Maravich made 13 shots per game that were 3-point distance.

And the ONLY reasonable assumption is that Maravich's 2-pointers were defended the same way his 3-pointers would be - your notion that defenders weren't guarding a 44 ppg white boy's jumpshots is a very dumb assumption by comparison.

Also, you don't understand how the NBA game worked.. Players rarely took 24 footers back then since there was no 3-point line.. A long jumpshot was a 20-footer, which means defenders didn't have to extend as far out - they guarded a smaller surface area and contested shots better..

That's why DRtg was literally 10 points lower in the 70's - defenders guarded a smaller surface area (2-point area only)..

The lack of spacing along with tougher rules made the game much rougher.. Obviously, the fragile Curry is exact type of player that would fare worse under these conditions - we saw what happened when Dellevadova got rough with Curry... All of a sudden Curry was flustered and OC (out of control).

Nobody believes this nonsense outside of you.

Ummm let's see, how about if pistol made 13 3s in an era where there wasn't even a line why couldn't curry take his usual shots. Who says that since there isn't a line that all of a sudden he must shoot closer. He's fvcking steph curry man. He would shoot his usual shots with even less pressure. Logic definitely isn't a strength of yours bro.

[Nuff Said]

I too have to ask, why would they not guard tightly a man who averages 44 ppg shooting from far away? I can understand them not guarding Kendrick Perkins from that far but a guy averaging 44 ppg taking hella outside shots? You gotta think they'd be playing some kind of defense on him if he's making that many shots there.
