re: I did the Caitlin Clark/Pistol Pete math

I'm reporting you again

I agree but the great irony here is that lsu fans are always bragging about girls college basketball when NOBODY else gives a shite. Looks like some good karma to me

I’ve been told this is racist.

Clark is going to own the record and has had far and away a better career.

She will hold the record you are correct. For women’s basketball which is a tremendous accomplishment. Comparing men’s and women’s basketball is about the same as comparing Lebron’s 40,000 points to the all time touchdown record. Completely different sports.

Not even remotely true.

You would also have to take away all of Clark's points from the B1G tournaments, as those didn't exist. Also, any NCAA tournament games in years that Iowa wasn't the B1G champion, as only conference champions went to the NCAA tournament when Pete played.

Maravich was not only less efficient than his opponents, his shooting % was vastly inferior to his own teammates.

Before you start yapping like a complete fricktard, why don't you go back and see how many assists he had to those teammates. Over 6 pg his senior year.

Because it's already factored into their shooting percentage. And either way his own shoooting percentage is worse than the opponents and he took >50% of LSU's FGA.

Let's just look at his first year and assume both teams attempt 50 FG aka offensive rebounding and turnovers are equal

Maravich attempted 52.8% of his teams shots

Maravich points scored .529 * 50 * 2 points per made shot * .423(shooting perecentage)= 22.38 points
Rest of LSU (1-.529) * 50 * 2 * .523 = 24.63 points
total LSU points = 22.38 + 24.63 = 47.01 points

If Maravich had attempted all 50 by himself = 50*2*.423 = 42.3 points


Opponents 50 * 2 * .459 = 45.9 points

If a player is shooting lower than the opponent by percentage, on average every shot he takes is a net loss for his own team

Maravich took over 50% of their shots. And the guy only averaged 5 assists per game for his career

Funny how such Hall of Fame NBA players continue to sing Pete's praises & why he was voted into the Top 50 players in NBA history. Bob Cousey, James Worthy, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Dominique Wilkens, Karl Malone, Jery West, Elgin Baylor, Kevin McHale, etc etc etc have all told stories about Pete's greatness. Former HOF coaches, Rupp, Auerbach, Tommy Heinson, Phil Jackson, etc etc etc have all raved about him. And there is you. As for the records themselves, the NCAA has come out & said they keep 2 sets of records, those relating to female players & those relating to male players. "There is no one record for both sexes".

Nice response thread
