"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.

Busey was telling some great stories about LSU, Shaq, pistol Pete...

Listening to him tonight was like playing checkers in the park with the old bucks.

Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hit streak will be broken before someone averages 43 points a season for 3 seasons like Pete did. Unbreakable!!!

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.

I had to look it up, its a 1991 song called "Dignity". It says Pete's death inspired the song , but i didnt find anything in the lyrics about Pete or basketball
