Both “must watch” type players but winning percentages not elite.
They are not renaming Tiger Stadium after Jayden Daniels. Having seen both play their respective sports and there isn’t a remote comparison. I’m not sure if some of you understand how much better Pete was than everyone else that ever put on a college basketball jersey. That includes Michael Jordan. Michael didn’t have nearly that guys skill set. For those that don’t know, Pete could dunk so effortlessly and had some serious hops. Ask Dr J because he wrote about him in his book. He had to play below the rim.
All y’all saw were the passes and shots…

Winning matters. There's no way to put Pete over Laettner or Alcindor/Jabbar. They were multi-faceted players that put their teams first. You can't say either of those things about Maravich.

True, oh so true. Saw The Great One play when I was in the 8th grade and I am still in awe. NO ONE that has ever played MCBB can compare to Pete.

This isn't completely fair. Football has been a much bigger deal for much longer at LSU and football is just a bigger operation, generally. You have more kids (and adults, for that matter, on the training and support staff, coaches, etc.) come through the football program in 4 years than you do in 20 or 25 for basketball.
Having said that, Pistol was a generational "event". It is difficult to even put it into words. He did transcend the team's record, etc.
