"As a scorer in the history of college basketball?
No one."
- Bill Walton
He reminds me of Gary busey
but I respect his opinion.

True, and I don't think it was an opinion.

No one has scored more in their career than Pete and he didn't have a 3 point line.

Anyone who answers that question differently would be wrong.

Walton was talking about which song that Bob Dylan wrote for Pete Maravich, after seeing him play?
Can't really see Dylan writing s song about a basketball player.

No one, but "The Big O" was somewhat close.
Bout 35 pts a game to go with bout 15 rebs a game.
Guy was a monster in his day, but there has been only one "Pistol Pete"!

The amount of scoring Maravich did is unprecedented.
If you look up top 25 points scored in a careers, not only is he number 1 inmost points scored, and most field goals, he is also #1 in fewest games played. He averaged 44.2 points per game, when here was no 3 point line. the guy was sick.

Johnny Neumann was a big scorer, but he was no Pete Maravich!!
Following a standout career at Overton High School in Memphis, Neumann took his game to the University of Mississippi, where he played from 1969 to 1971. During his sophomore season, he drew comparisons to Pete Maravich after averaging an NCAA-high 40.1 points per game.[1] His strongest performances included a 63 point game against Louisiana State University and a 60 point game against Baylor University.[2] Neumann earned All-America and SEC Men's Basketball Player of the Year honors at the end of the season.
After his sophomore season at Ole Miss, Neumann became the first player in basketball history to sign a hardship clause[3]

Anyone making that claim about another player should be considered as an idiot. He was a man amongst boys at both the college and pro levels in his life time. It was truly saddening to hear of his sudden death when it occurred.

When Pete was a senior, on the freshman team was a player with the last name Huffman (I think). I remember him averaging over 30 a game on the freshman team. I don't recall him playing varsity ball the following season and did a Google search but came up empty. Any old timers....remember this guy?

No one. I knew him and watched him in person. He was the best period. My daughter lives across the street from his widow, Jackie. The family is exceptional
