Has there ever been any data on what Pete’s scoring total would have been in his 3 years at LSU with a 3 point line ?

A 4th season OR 3 point line estimate is 4,500 points rather than 3,600 plus that he had

Unpopular opinion but I doubt Pete would have scored as much if there was a 3 point line - it actually shrinks the court and players shooting and shot making development.

Defenses put a lot more focus on guarding 20+ feet from the basketball when those shots are worth 50% more points. Downvote away

Based on what he actually did, he would have averaged 55 points a game.

But if the 3-point line existed when he played, he would have taken more shots from that range and most experts say Pete would have averaged 60-65 points per game during his collegiate career.

He still has the record and forever will in my opinion.

If anyone ever asks me if i know who has scored the most points in the history of college basketball, men or women, i will say Pete Maravich

This basketball chick is going to be heralded by Mass Media as the new college scoring champ for political reasons. All attempts to introduce Reason, Facts and Logic into the analysis of the equation will be ignored by Mass Media.

I choose to ignore these provocations. You may choose to react with emotion to these provocations, but, just keep in mind, that's the objective of the provocation.

Ignore all chatter about this scoring record relative to this basketball chick. That is my advice.

Clark is a great woman’s basketball player. Comparing a woman and man in a sport is not realistic, thus Maravich and Clark comparisons make no sense. If you look up Track and Field events or Swimming events and compare men’s vs. women’s times, there is about a 10% faster or better score for men than women.

Different games for men and women. Both great athletes, but cannot compare.

I downvoted you but I think last year when the 6th year guy that cam up just short of PMs record did this. I am not going back and trying to find it but some Rantard posted it from somewhere or he want back and did it. For some reason I want to say Dale Brown was mentioned in the post.
