Anyone saying someone other than Maravich in basketball is just wrong. The man is the all....time....scorer....in college basketball history for both a season and in a career. Despite the fact he only played 3 years, without a 3 pt line, and without a shot clock. As awesome as Shaq, Chris Jackson, and Bob Pettit were, none of them hold national records like that, and Maravich's scoring records will never be broken.

Pistol Pete has nobody close to him as far as what he accomplished at LSU. NOBODY CLOSE TO HIM. Before or since and it has been 50 years since his time as a Tiger. He did what he did with no shot clock and no three point line. Consider that for a moment and there has STILL been no one close to him. He was a special, one of a kind phenomenal player. Burrow was good in 2019, exceptional, all-world like. There are quarterbacks who have come close to having his type of season having played in similar high paced passing attacks. Pete did this for all four years he was in school. Burrow did it for one season. There really is no comparison.

I love me some Joe Burrow, but the correct answer is Pistol Pete. The guy averaged 44 points a game WITHOUT a 3-point line. With a 3-point line, he would have been over 50 with ease.

Burrow, then Chris Jackson, then Tommy Casanova/Billy Cannon.

Burrow
Maravich
Nola- I don't really think it's close either. When Nola was on the mound on Friday night you knew it was a W. Every single year. W.

Burrow

Really I couldn't pick for baseball because of the amount of greats. Maybe Eddy Furniss... He was awesome
