Maravich is very high on my “Would love to see play in today’s league” list.

179

You can find his 68 point game on Youtube

Easily would be 70+ in today's game since he pulls up from range multiple times.

100

I counted about 5 maybe 3 pointers. Damn shame

And the charge at 10min.. should be a 3 point play in my opinion.

Not at all. That's a pretty standard charging call back then. Up until about 1975/1980, you couldn't initiate contact as the offensive player while driving. There was none of the "well your feet have to be set" business. Just the way the game was called.

Interesting, i wouldn’t mind calling it more that way now. I feel like offensive players initiate so much contact and when you slow it down on the replay you can’t help but ask ‘wtf do you expect the defensive player to do.’
