If Pete identified as a woman and was playing now, we wouldn’t be having this discussion
Sorry, Cait.

Dude. Just because Caitlin will likely outscore Pete in their overall college careers, doesn't mean she would beat him in a game of basketball.
You're capable of understanding, right?

She wouldn’t score 10 in a college men’s rec league.
This is absolutely absurd. Cmon man

I don’t know if Dad being coach would help, but she usually gets 40 shots per game:
I swear I don’t know how some of you can even navigate this website. The game log you just linked shows she has zero games with 40+ shot attempts
I swear, if you can’t read basic stat pages, maybe you should stay off the sports board.
Career FG attempts per game
CC - 19.9
Pete- 38.1
Career total FG attempts
CC - 2567
Pete - 3166
Career FG%
CC- 47%
Pete- 43%
Once again, I think it’s dumb that the men vs women comparison is being made here, but if you are going to bring up the 3-PT line, you have to acknowledge the stark difference in shot attempts as well.
The truth was, Pete Maravich was a very good player in a perfect situation. He was the best player on a bad team and his dad was the head coach.
Once again, Pete was obviously a very good player, but I think there are several guys who could replicate what he did in the same situation.
For instance, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged 27 PPG in college on 64% shooting and only 16.8 FG attempts per game. Now imagine he gets 38 attempts per game like Pete did. Of course, his FG% would go down, but I think it’s safe to say he would match or surpass Pete’s scoring mark with ease.

Let me clarify. I’m talking about a college rec/fraternity team, most of which have starters that played in high school.
She’s not taller.
She’s skinny.
She’s way slower.
If they played any D, she’d struggle to get a shot off.
Now, the teams I played on, she’d dominate us. I will give you that.

In response, some mid level men’s player should “transition” and go make things right. Y’all wanna get cute with this bullshite? Let’s rock.

In all fairness, folks shouldn’t be mad at her, she didn’t start this bullshite comparison. I doubt she even agrees with it.

Johnny Neumann of Ole Miss during this same era ( SEC segregated) averaged 40 pts per game on 34 attempts per & more efficiently( 46%) than Pete. People need to put this shot jacking of Pistol into perspective. I don't understand the defensiveness about this.
