Very nice article

With Georgia trailing by eight and desperate to foul in the final minute of double overtime, Maravich unleashed a Globetrotter-esque dribbling exhibition to run out the clock. Then he astonished the Georgia crowd again by scoring his 57th and 58th points of the night just before the final buzzer, flipping up an audacious 35-foot hook shot that went in as time expired.

Wooden's 11(?) championships?

Sweet math bro

It wasn't the game winner, but it might as well have been," White said. "Our fans came pouring out of the stands. They lifted him up on their shoulders. The cheerleaders were dancing around him. It was just a mad house. That was the kind of excitement he generated."

If the Georgia game was Maravich's signature performance, his career high 69-point effort against Alabama wasn't far behind. The Tuscaloosa crowd erupted with every basket the home team scored and roared again each time Maravich answered with a bucket of his own.



and people were pissed about the Stony brook victory lap.

I was listening to the Georgia game. The roar from the Georgia crowd was deafining.

What's #1? Back to back no hitters?

It's basketball only.

If I had to say for all sports, however, I'd say that Cy Young's 511 wins is about as untouchable as it gets, followed by DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak.

Its hard to tell if Maravich would be as dominant today. I think the athletes today could keep him in check unfortunately.

I think he would adjust to the competition. If you watch him play, he was doing things that would still be incredible today. He would adjust to the level of competition around him had he grown up in this era.

Plus he would have the 3 point line.

To this day nobody can pass like him. It's like a magic trick. That's timeless.
