Pistol Pete did in 3 seasons what this dude is trying to get to in 5.
No 3-point line. Just think how ridiculous Pistol's record points would have been.
No shot clock. Teams could literally sit on the ball. Take the air out. Rob guys like Pistol of precious possessions and he still puts up 44 points a game. Imagine how many more possessions Pete would have gotten with a shot clock.
But those were just points. It was his reinvention of the game that he will always be best remembered for. Nobody thought the game and could see the game like this mop-haired dude from Western Pennsylvania. The no-look, behind-the-back, crazy misdirection stuff that was coming out of his head was as entertaining as it got.
