Pistol Pete did it before the 3-point line and when there was no shot clock

Nobody will ever be considered his equal because of these two facts.

He also didn’t have the benefit of playing against girls.

Pistol did it in 3 years, freshmen were not allowed to play varsity back then. She deserves all the accolades and praise, but we have to put it in perspective.

If you count Pete’s freshman scores she is still 815 points shy.

Pete just didn't have the grit and determination to get the rules changed in his favor then

Uh...shot clock wasn't an issue.

Pistol averaged a whopping 40 fg attempts for his Collegiate career. (Nice when Dad is the coach).

Clark is averaging around 20, so give her some due.
