If he was good enough to earn the nickname Pistol, his stats back it up.
That boy good.

Ask Walt Frazier if Pete was good

1.08 points per possession sounds like a lot.

That might be a stretch. His HC and also his dad, Press Maravich in his 6 seasons as LSU's HC had an overall losing record (76-86) and a losing SEC record (45-63).
His predecessor, Dale Brown really put LSU basketball on the map. Took LSU to two Final Fours.

Did Pete play in a time there were only white dudes on the teams
He played against black dudes in the NBA..
Averaged 25 pts a game and 5.4 assists. Pete is the only white guy that the Harlem Globetrotters offered a spot on their team .. and in those days the Globetrotters were a big deal.
Pete was a 5 time NBA All-Star. To try and insinuate he just dominated a bunch of white boys is ignorant

“It has been reported that former LSU coach coach Dale Brown charted every shot Maravich scored and concluded that, if his shots from three-point range had been counted as three points, Maravich's average would have totaled 57 points per game and 12 three-pointers per game.”

True, but HE'S the reason LSU built a new arena (then known as the LSU Assembly Center). It was called 'The House That Pete Built' and of course, eventually renamed the PMAC.
Pete ignited new interest in basketball at a football school. Hence the PMAC and hiring of Dale Brown - who would lead LSU to two Final Fours and seven Sweet 16s.
