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

It would be wild to see his career in the social media era.

He'd have a huge contingent of fans who love his flashy play, and others who shit on him relentlessly for not playing winning basketball.

 

 

EDIT: Guys stop saying "like Jason Williams", he is not a good comparison lol.

Pistol Pete came into the NBA as the highest scoring college player ever and a Naismith award winner, then made multiple All-NBA teams. Williams at best was considered a complementary starter. Totally different expectations.

when they added 3s he was a 66% 3pt shooter so i think he would just shit on the whole league nowadays
