re: Is Cam Thomas the best player to come through here?

Makes you wonder if he was really that good, or did he just look good against freshman competition.

I know it is hard for some of you to believe that a 6’5 1/2“ white guy could cross your arse over and passed better than Magic and everyone else that ever played or shoot better than Steph Curry, but he was all that and so much more. He shot 45% from everywhere in the freaking gym including well beyond the 3 pt line. Additionally, there was no shot clock, no 3 pt line, etc. He would have averaged 55 with a 3 point line...
He still holds the record for the most points scored against 5 or 6 SEC opponents...

Kind of like how he wasn’t good against African Americans?
His first 3 games as a “Soph”...
he scored 48, 42 and 51 his first 3 games.. there are some seriously funny people on here.



Maravich holds nearly every major NCAA scoring record, including most career points (3,667), highest career scoring average (44.2 ppg), most field goals made (1,387) and attempted (3,166), and most career 50-point games (28). And he accomplished all this without the benefit of the 3-point basket, which wasn’t introduced into the college game until the 1986-87 season.

:rotflmao:

If y’all think CJ was great, get some perspective... Those are the top four single-game scoring performances in LSU history. He holds seven of the program's top nine single-game marks, plus he's tied for 10th with 55 points in a game. LSU guard Chris Jackson reached 55 points on one occasion; Maravich did it six time
Oh yeah all you bull shitters about his scoring. Three seasons:

Fourth in LSU history in career assist average: 5.12 assists per game

Brady brought a small camera that Saturday, one of those then-trendy models with the flash cube on top that rotated with each exposure. Tied with Robertson’s record, Maravich came down and missed five straight shots on five straight possessions.

“I never saw him do that in my life,” Borne said. “Then he hit the sixth one, an 18-foot jump shot.”

By that time, the flash cube on Brady’s camera had nothing left.

“We were out of flash bulbs,” Brady recalled with a smile. “But it was something I’ll never forget.”

Reporters and cameramen, many from across the country, rushed the court after Maravich’s record-breaking shot went down. He amazingly did a brief on-court interview then went back to business. He ended up with 53 points on (get this) 21-of-46 shooting.

Even more remarkable: Maravich dished out 12 assists that night. And his 53-point effort doesn’t even rank among his top 14 single-game efforts.
