re: shaq vs. pistol pete

Love Shaq but the NBA is still trying to copy moves Pete made WITH THE BALL and always will. Future NBA players will copy Shaq's dances and marketability, maybe. Pete knew how to put the ball in the hole by any means necessary - even if it meant, KEEP SHOOTING. Pete's life changed so much for the better after he left basketball that his admiration society has expanded beyond basketball fans since his passing. LSU is very fortunate to have both of them representing LSU. Maybe Shaq can buy LSU a new place to play basketball one day and his name will be etched ''forever'' on the PETE MARAVICH ASSEMBLY CENTER - at least until another 1st round draft pick and NBA champion comes along, who made a whole lot more money than Shaq, ha, ha.

You can say that Pistol would've averaged another 8 points a game if they had the three point line back in his day. On the other hand, people can say that he wouldn't have averaged 30 a game if they had allowed African Americans to play.
