Alcindor was a BETTEr all around player than Pistol Pete in high school,in college and in the NBA!!

Alcindor/Jabbar won 3 NCAA titles,3 MOP awards,2 Player of the year awards..

Average 29ppg,26ppg,24ppg=26ppg..15rebounds

Lew rebounded,blocked shots,assisted(had great outlet passes and scored!

He was more efficent.

Shot over 62% in 3 NCAA years WITHOUT DUNKING his last 2 seasons..

2300 points and 1300 rebounds in 3 seasons![

He shot the sky hook with either hand from each block.

He had a reliable 12-15 foot jumper!

He had the turnaround jumper.

He dominated his sport at all 3 levels against the best of the best!!

The SEC was Kentucky in Pete's days!!

THE SEC WAS NOT as competitive a conference and did not play the strong non conference/conference games the West Coast teams and a few other teams played(Texas Western/UTEP proved that)!

Alcindor didnt dominate because of his size,he dominated because of his skills,talent,work ethic!

Only 2 other big men had the same success and domination in hs,college,NBA!

The Great Wilt Chamberlain in hs,college(a short stay),Harlem Globetrotters,NBA...

The Great Bill Russell also dominated at McClymonds HS in West Oakland(after his family moved from Louisiana),NCAA titles @ University of San Francisco,titles in the NBA with Boston..

If it was about size every player 6'7 or taller wouldve dominated for their entire careers!

Pete was not even as dominate in the NCAA as Bill Russell!!

As GREAT as Pistol Pete was his top accomplishment will always be his college scoring!!

Great NBA scorer but was in a 3 year battle with David Skywalker Thompson & George Iceman Gervin for league leader.

Both those dudes had higher fg % than Pistol !!

Both rebounded better!

Pete averaged more assists but The Iceman averaged more points and was at 50% fg for his career!!

YEAH WITH A 3PT LINE PETE WOULDVE AVERAGED 60PPG IN COLLEGE AND 30PPG IN THE NBA!!

HE WOULDVE SCORED WITH EASE BUT HE NEVER WAS GONNA SHOOT A GREAT %!!

HE SHOT UNDER 45% FROM 2 PT RANGE VS GERVIN SHOOTING 50% FROM 2.

Pete was a professional scoring machine all over the court,from anywhere on the court!!

BALL HANDLING,others before him and after him were magicians with the basketball..could make fancy passes with either hand.. dribble between the legs and behind the back etc!

Pete was never the best pg or sg!

His shooting % proves that!!

Cant ever dismiss his greatness !

But to even suggest offensive juggernaut Pistol Pete Maravich is even in the conversation for the greatest college basketball player ever BEFORE acknowledging number one is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar then known as Lewis Alcindor is blasphemy!!

That's on the level of nonsense as these '80s '90s and 2000s kids who automatically dismiss Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar saying Michael Jordan is the greatest in the NBA history!

Jabbar has 6 NBA rings,NBA ROY,6 NBA MVP Awards,led the league in blocks×4,led in rebounding×1,led in scoring×2,All NBA on both sides of the court!

Led Milwaukee to the NBA title in his 2nd season avg 31ppg & 16rebounds/reg season MVP.. 27ppg & 18 rebounds/finals MVP..

He carried the Big "O"to his only title.

Although "O"had a decent regular season Bobby Dandridge was the second leading scorer in the playoffs..

Wilt and Kareem, we are talking about top four all-time scoring..

Top 3 all time block shots (Kareem).

Top 3 rebounding(Wilt,Kareem) along with Russell..
