Name one team he played on, that he made others around him better.

This isn't revisionist history. Pistol was viewed more as a showman/ " Gunner" even during his era. Teams never won anything of note in College or NBA.

I take exception to people dismissing his ball handling skills when the modern game ( since the 80's / 90's) allows carrying/ palming.

LSu wasn't very good before or after he got here.

Well they were downright terrible before.

Hell we didn't even have black players until after Maravich was gone.
