Well, I put MAravich in my top 3 along with Jordan and Oscar, so there it is.

As far as xones and doubles, did you ever see Pete play in college? Guy averaged over 42 points a game EVERY year (with no 3-point line). It's not as if they didn't play any D against him in college.

He would have scored 35 a game in the NBA if he was playing now.

How good would Jordan or Oscar have been if they were playing without a left coronary artery?

I didnt know that guy who use to play for UCLA (always use to wear that headband) like 4 years ago plays in the NBA? I think he plays for the Knicks. Was always a very underrated college player.

Maravich goes on the Harlem Globetrotter list... with Calvin Murphy. He did the same thing at LSU, shot the ball all the time. And I dont know how playing without a left coronary artery affected his shot. It may have affected stamina. But he played some big minutes so not too much. His injuries were not related to his heart.
