re: Maravich in Todays Game

But we’ve somehow decided that basketball is the only sport on the world, where players from the 70s are just as good as now. For his era, Pete’s handle was absolutely incredible. But the training now is so much more knowledgeable and efficient.

I don't think many other players from that era would thrive in today's game. Only Maravich and a few others like Dr J. I think that was the point the OP was making. Maravich would be better in todays game than his own time, because the loose ball handling rules and up tempo game would fit right into his wheel house.
