>>154554346
This is why I keep telling my imaginary friends that the NBA really needs to overhaul the game to be a best of 5 sets tennis-like format. Keep players invested throughout the game since there are 3-5 endpoints with stakes instead of just 1, and if it's a total rapetrain blowout it's over in 3 and everyone can go home early because it's over instead of because there's a 0% chance of a comeback despite 90 real time minutes remaining
But it would have to come with other overhauls like changing how free throws work so all sets don't just end with infinite foul battles like current games do if they're remotely close. Fouls being 1 FT and possession would do it, but would be a bit too riggable in a league known for rigging

Spurs winning it all, but even if they don't they're extremely young and will have more opportunities so you're just placing unreasonable expectations on them. My team has a rock solid argument and rebuttal game so stop trying to make them into the OGayC Floppers. Spurs are much more likeable and ethical and people just have to manufacture reasons to hate them like they show too much emotion and they're small market. Join us while you still have a chance or stand aside as we rise.

Don't be a retard. NHL is more exciting, the rules are enforced, the fans aren't cringe broke faggots like this league paying $1000 to watch stars on the bench, the players play hard and are actually tough, most importantly I still feel like I'm watching pretty much the same sport as I was 25-30 years ago. The ratings are clearly showing NHL is up huge right now. Games aren't goyball slopfests
I can't even recognize modern NBA after I go back and watch classic games. Rules aren't enforced, the refs are crooked, players barely even try, non-stop flopping, defense is optional, everyone cries to the refs after every single possession, replays take 10+ minutes, 16 stoppages of 5+ minutes in every NBA game, and the game itself has turned into a memechuck contest. What the fuck kind of argument can you make for anybody who is a serious sports fan should be watching Silver's NBA? Most people who watch NBA bemoan it and shit on the product every chance they can get. No other sports league hates their own league like NBA fans
>>

I do not care about ratings
Silver has made nearly only positive additions to the game in the form of the playin and nba cup. If people seething online over 3 point shooting and sabotaging the game over trying to prop up their favorite players has a negative effect on ratings then that isnt my problem
>>
>[Shams] David Adelman is going to be back. Nikola Jokic expected to sign an extension. Beyond that, there is going to be real roster changes coming to Denver. They r gonna get calls and listen to calls for everyone on the roster except Nikola Jokic.

Warriors need to go all in and trade for shitgoon or janice. Shitgoons stock is deservedly low, can get some extra pieces. Giannis is a top 5 player and he and curry should cover each others weaknesses. Though it failed with dame

A win in the lottery could do a ton for the future with the team, obviously speaking. You can’t lose this year’s draft if you’re picking from 1-5 (2-5 in their case for the pick swap) but their odds are incredibly low. Guess I’ll keep on dreaming until lotto night

I think the streaming deal sucks major cock. If theres anything to blame for ratings going down the shitter it’s that. Remember when playoff games were nationally televised with no need to pay for cable or streaming services? I member.

I also think Adam Silver should get spitroasted on horse cocks for what he is doing to the draft, especially after handing SAS a super team and gift wrapping Dallas Flagg and another top pick this upcoming draft.

Peter Press Maravich (/ˈmɛərəˌvJtʃ/ MAIR-ə-vitch; June 22, 1947 – January 5, 1988), also known by his nickname Pistol Pete, was an American professional basketball player.
>>
>>154555903
Maravich starred in college for Louisiana State University's Tigers basketball team, which was coached by his father, Press Maravich. He is the all-time top scorer in NCAA Division I men's basketball, having scored 3,667 points at an average of 44.2 per game.

You said he wasn't an MVP caliber player when he clearly was. Just admit you barely watch the games anon and are making your assumptions based on watching a couple dozen games at most. Nothing wrong with admitting the truth. NBA ratings are in the toilet. Most people don't even watch the highlights either. Just don't pretend like you're some hardcore NBA fan who watched 82 Spurs games every season for his entire career
>>
>>154555908
He accomplished this before the adoption of the three-point line and shot clock, and before freshmen were allowed to play varsity by the NCAA.
>>

>Have ya'll uncs gona crazy? Parker was a hooper but he wasn't SGA. Not even close
What's the difference? SGA is a slower taller Tony Parker with a 3 and worse playmaking

Maravich was selected by the Atlanta Hawks in the 1970 NBA draft. He played four seasons in Atlanta, then was traded to the expansion New Orleans Jazz, where he spent five seasons and part of a sixth.
>>
>>154555922
He played his final part-season for the Boston Celtics, then retired due to injuries. During his 10-year career, he was named an All-Star five times and All-NBA four times.
>>
>>154555912
I don’t watch all 82 spuds games but I am saying I have seen the playoff games that matter. And i guess if we are calling 5th in voting at best an mvp caliber player then you win. There is no way you can argue he’s more deserving than anyone who’s won it over him though

He died suddenly at age 40 during a pick-up game in 1988 because of an undetected heart defect. Maravich was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary team in 1996 and 75th Anniversary team in 2021.

This anti Tony retard is why I will never respect NBA fans. You literally don't watch the games but you want to argue like you do. All of you. You watch 3-4 games and base your opinion on that. When you're watching the games you're on your phone because the product is unwatchable
>>
>>154555947
Anon, I’m telling you he literally did not do that with extreme confidence. He placed 5th, which isn’t that much of a knock but it’s important to be somewhat accurate.

Anyway, I’ve already eaten my crow, I didn’t really argue too well about this but what I’m trying to say is TP was really good, but I think you guys are slightly overrating him. Cheers though bro I need to get some rest

>>154555951
Maravich amazed his family and friends with his basketball abilities from an early age. He enjoyed a close but demanding father-son relationship that motivated him toward achievement and fame in the sport. Maravich's father was the son of Serbian immigrants and a professional player–turned-coach.
>>
>>154555972
He showed his son the fundamentals starting when Pete was seven years old. Obsessively, young Maravich spent hours practicing ball control tricks, passes, head fakes, and long-range shots.
>>
>>154555976
While Maravich was in junior high, his father was head basketball coach at Clemson University. Once a classmate bet Maravich five dollars that he could not spin the ball on his finger for an entire hour.
>>
Stop spamming the general>>154555972
>>
>>154555984
Maravich took the bet, and after his finger began to bleed, switched fingers, winning the five bucks.[8] Once in a game, on a three-on-one fast break, he threw a behind-the-back bounce pass through an opponent's legs to a teammate for a layup. "I think, right then, showtime was born in me," Maravich recalled.

Maravich played high school varsity ball at Daniel High School in Central, South Carolina, a year before being old enough to attend the school. While at Daniel from 1961 to 1963, Maravich participated in the school's first-ever game against a team from an all-black school.
>>
Oh good I see the Canadians finally learned their place and fucked off. If they come back someone let me know and I’ll handle it
>>
>>154556002
In 1963, his father departed from his position at Clemson and joined the coaching staff at North Carolina State University.[1] While living in Raleigh, North Carolina, Maravich attended Needham B. Broughton High School, where his famous moniker was born.

Maravich was 6 feet 4 inches in high school and was getting ready to play in college when his father took a coaching position at Louisiana State University.
>>
>>154556062
At LSU, Maravich was a member of the Louisiana Epsilon chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. At that time, NCAA rules prohibited first-year students from playing at varsity level, which required Maravich to play on the freshman team.
>>
>>154556067
In his first game, Maravich put up 50 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists against Southeastern Louisiana College.
>>
>>154556073
In his first varsity game, Maravich scored 48 against Tampa. In just his seventh game, he broke Bob Pettit's SEC scoring record with 58 points against Mississippi State.
>>
Did you know SGAy averaged 2.1 spit roasts per postgame and 0.76 TOP with 2.8 BOTTOM. Tony Parker averaged 0!
>>
>>154556077
In the final game of his junior season, LSU faced Georgia and was down by 15 points. Maravich led a comeback to take the game into overtime. LSU won in overtime, and as Maravich dribbled out the clock, he hoisted a 30-foot hook shot that went in the basket.
>>
>>154556062

Yes it’s just limited. Like if a Steph curry clone showed up he’d obviously be quite valuable. Enough skill can still overcome height it’s just harder now.

>>154556089
In his senior season against Alabama, he scored 69 points in a 106–104 win.
>>
These bawbs have gone mental
>>
>>154556120
In only three years playing on the varsity team (and under his father's coaching) at LSU, Maravich scored 3,667 points—1,138 of those in 1967–68, 1,148 in 1968–69, and 1,381 in 1969–70—while averaging 43.8, 44.2, and 44.5 points per game, respectively.
>>
>>154556126
For his collegiate career, the 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) guard averaged 44.2 points per game in 83 contests and led the NCAA in scoring for each of his three seasons.
>>
>>154556124

>>154556133
Maravich was the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer among basketball players, until surpassed as such by Caitlin Clark in 2024.[15] Maravich's long-standing collegiate scoring record is particularly notable when three factors are taken into account:
>>
>>154556161
First, because of the NCAA rules that prohibited him from taking part in varsity competition during his first year as a student, Maravich was prevented from adding to his career record for a full quarter of his time at LSU. During this first year, Maravich scored 741 points in freshman competition.
>>
It's fun to look back on your NBA fandom amd the guys who have come in and out of the league. Like Andray Blatche played 9 full NBA seasons and had some good years, like imagine Blatche being your teams 'vet' everyone looks to for guidance.
>>
>>154555767
>BABBs sucking off Timberwolves non stop just a mere week ago
>A-Actually we like the Spurs now
Holy cope
>>
>>154556170
Second, Maravich played before the advent of the three-point line. This significant difference has raised speculation regarding just how much higher his records would be, given his long-range shooting ability and how such a component might have altered his play.
>>
>>154556170
Writing for ESPN.com, Bob Carter stated, "Though Maravich played before the 3-point shot was established, he loved gunning from long range."
>>
>>154556189
Third, the shot clock had also not yet been instituted in NCAA play during Maravich's college career. (A time limit on ball possession speeds up play, mandates an additional number of field goal attempts, eliminates stalling, and increases the number of possessions throughout the game, all resulting in higher overall scoring.)
>>
>>154556195
More than 50 years later, however, many of his NCAA and LSU records still stand. Maravich was a three-time All-American.
>>
>>154556199
Though he never appeared in the NCAA tournament, Maravich played a key role in turning around a lackluster program that had posted a 3–20 record in the season prior to his arrival. Maravich finished his college career in the 1970 National Invitation Tournament, where LSU finished fourth.
>>
>>154556205
The Atlanta Hawks selected Maravich with the third pick in the first round of the 1970 NBA draft, where he played for coach Richie Guerin.[23] He was not a natural fit in Atlanta.
>>
>>154556232
The Hawks already boasted a top-notch scorer at the guard position in combo guard Lou Hudson. In fact, Maravich's flamboyant style stood in stark contrast to the conservative play of Hudson and star center Walt Bellamy.
>>
>>154556258
It also did not help that many of the veteran players resented the $1.9 million contract that Maravich received from the team—a very large salary at that time.
>>
>>154556264
Maravich appeared in 81 games and averaged 23.2 points per contest—good enough to earn NBA All-Rookie Team honors. He managed to blend his style with his teammates, so much so that Hudson set a career high by scoring 26.8 points per game.
>>
>>154556290
But the team stumbled to a 36–46 record—12 wins fewer than in the previous season. Still, the Hawks qualified for the playoffs, where they lost to the New York Knicks during the first round, as Maravich averaged 22 points a contest in the five-game series.
>>
>>154556306
Maravich struggled somewhat during his second season. His scoring average dipped to 19.3 points per game, and the Hawks finished with another disappointing 36–46 record.
>>
>>154556319
Once again they qualified for the playoffs, and once again they were eliminated in the first round.
>>
>>154556354
However, Atlanta fought hard against the Boston Celtics, with Maravich averaging 27.7 points in the series.
>>
>>154556367
Maravich erupted in his third season, averaging 26.1 points (fifth in the NBA) and dishing out 6.9 assists per game (sixth in the NBA).

With 2,063 points, he combined with Hudson (2,029 points) to become only the second set of teammates in league history to each score over 2,000 points in a single season.
>>
>>154556387
The Hawks soared to a 46–36 record, but again bowed out in the first round of the playoffs. However, the season was good enough to earn Maravich his first-ever appearance in the NBA All-Star Game, and also All-NBA Second Team honors.
>>
>>154556407
The following season (1973–74) was his best yet—at least in terms of individual accomplishments.
>>
What's the deal with the Pete spammer
>>
>>154556451
Maravich posted 27.7 points per game—second in the league behind Bob McAdoo—and earned his second appearance in the All-Star Game, where he would start for the Eastern Conference and score 15 points.
>>
>>154556457
However, Atlanta sank to a disappointing 35–47 record and missed the postseason entirely. By this point, he and head coach Cotton Fitzsimmons did not get along, with the latter giving him a two-game suspension at one point.
>>
>>154556455
He really loves Pistol Pete.
>>
>>154556478
In the summer of 1974, the expansion New Orleans Jazz franchise was preparing for its first season of competition in the NBA and was looking to generate excitement among its new basketball fans.
>>
>>154556499
His exciting style of play made Maravich a good draft target for the franchise. Additionally, he was already a celebrity in the state due to his accomplishments at LSU.
>>
>>154556634
To acquire Maravich, the Jazz traded two players and four draft picks to Atlanta.
>>
>>154556644
The expansion team struggled mightily in its first season. Maravich managed to score 21.5 points per game, but shot a career-worst 41.9% from the floor.
>>
>>154556654
The Jazz posted a 23–59 record, worst in the NBA.
>>
>>154556664
Jazz management did its best to give Maravich a better supporting cast. The team posted a 38–44 record in its second season (1975–76), but did not qualify for postseason play despite the dramatic improvement.
>>
>>154556725
Maravich struggled with injuries that limited him to just 62 games that season, but he averaged 25.9 points per contest (third behind McAdoo and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and continued his crowd-pleasing antics.
>>
>>154556731
He was elected to the All-NBA First Team that year.

Dumb fouls are part of the package

>>
>>154556765
He scored 40 points or more in 13 games,[b] and 50 or more in four games.[c] His 68-point masterpiece against the Knicks[30][31] was at the time the most points ever scored by a guard in a single game, and only two players at any position had ever scored more: Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor.
>>
>>154557078
Coincidentally, Baylor was head coach of the Jazz at that time. Despite Maravich's performance, the team finished at 35–47 (three wins shy of the previous season) and once again failed to make the playoffs.
>>
>>154557084
Maravich earned his third All-Star game appearance and was honored as All-NBA First Team for the second consecutive season.
>>
>>154557088
Injuries to both knees forced him to miss 32 games during the 1977–78 season.
>>
>>154557095
Despite being robbed of some quickness and athleticism, he still managed to score 27.0 points per game, and he also added 6.7 assists per contest, his highest average as a member of the Jazz.
>>
>>154557103
Truck Robinson had joined the franchise as a free agent during the off season and averaged 22.7 points and a league-best 15.7 rebounds per game in his first season.
>>
>>154557103
Robinson's presence prevented opponents from focusing their defensive efforts entirely on Maravich,[26] and it lifted the Jazz to a 39–43 record—just short of making the club's first appearance in the playoffs.
>>
>>154557122
Knee problems plagued Maravich for the rest of his career. He played in just 49 games during the 1978–79 season.
>>
>>154557133
He scored 22.6 points per game that season and earned his fifth and final All-Star appearance, but his scoring and passing abilities were severely impaired.
>>
>>154557164
The team struggled on the court, and faced serious financial trouble, as well. Management became desperate to make some changes.
>>
>>154557176
The Jazz traded Robinson to the Phoenix Suns, receiving draft picks and some cash in return.[34] However, in 1979, team owner Sam Battistone moved the Jazz to Salt Lake City.
>>
>>154555030
Wade and it's not close
>>
>>154557181
The Utah Jazz began play in the 1979–80 season. Maravich moved with the team to Salt Lake City, but his knee problems were worse than ever.
>>
>>154557261
He appeared in 17 games early in the season, but his injuries prevented him from practicing much, and new coach Tom Nissalke had a strict rule that players who did not practice were not allowed to play in games.
>>
it's better to win 4 games by 2 points than win 1 game by 38 points

Daryl Morey selling at the deadline when Embiid begged him to buy has once again, led to the 76ers downfall
>>
>>154557438
Thus, Maravich was parked on the bench for 24 straight games, much to the dismay of Utah fans and to Maravich himself.[35] During that time, Adrian Dantley emerged as the team's franchise player.
>>
>>154557451
The Jazz placed Maravich on waivers in January 1980.[36] He signed with the Celtics, the top team in the league that year, led by rookie superstar Larry Bird.
>>
>>154557460
Maravich adjusted to a new role as part-time contributor, giving Boston a "hired gun" on offense off the bench. He helped the team post a 61–21 record in the regular season, the best in the league, and for the first time since his early career in Atlanta, Maravich was able to participate in the NBA playoffs.
>>
>>154557470
He appeared in nine games during that postseason, but the Celtics were upended by Julius Erving and the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference finals, four games to one.
>>
>>154557478
Realizing that his knee problems would never go away, Maravich retired at the end of that season.[35] The NBA instituted the three-point shot just in time for Maravich's last season in the league.
>>
>>154557497
He had always been famous for his long-range shooting, and though injury-dampened, his final year provided an official statistical gauge of his abilities.
>>
>>154557514
Between his limited playing time in Utah and Boston, he made 10 of 15 three-point shots,[26] giving him a career 66.7% completion rate.
>>
>>154557536
During his 10-year career in the NBA, Maravich played in 658 games, averaging 24.2 points and 5.4 assists per contest.
>>
>>154557555
In 1987, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, and his number-7 jersey has been retired by both the Jazz and the New Orleans Pelicans, as well as his number-44 jersey by the Atlanta Hawks.
>>
>>154557591
In 2021, to commemorate the NBA's 75th Anniversary, The Athletic ranked their top 75 players of all time, and named Maravich as the 73rd-greatest player in NBA history.

>>154557605
After injuries forced his retirement from the game in 1980, Maravich became a recluse for two years. Through it all, Maravich said he was searching "for life".
>>
>>154557632
He tried the practices of yoga and Hinduism, read Trappist monk Thomas Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain, and took an interest in the field of ufology, the study of unidentified flying objects.

He also explored vegetarianism and macrobiotics, adopting a vegetarian diet in 1982.
>>
>>154557678
Eventually, he became a born-again Christian, embracing evangelical Christianity.
>>
>>154557702
A few years before his death, Maravich said, "I want to be remembered as a Christian, a person that serves [Jesus] to the utmost, not as a basketball player."

On January 5, 1988, Maravich collapsed and died of heart failure at age 40,[43] while playing in a pickup basketball game in the gym at First Church of the Nazarene in Pasadena, California, with a group that included evangelical author James Dobson.
>>
>>154557740
Maravich had flown from his home in Covington, Louisiana, to tape a segment for Dobson's radio show that aired later that day. Dobson has said that Maravich's last words, less than a minute before he died, were "I feel great."
>>
>>154557746
An autopsy revealed the cause of death to be a rare congenital defect: his left coronary artery, a vessel that supplies blood to the muscle fibers of the heart, was missing. His right coronary artery was grossly enlarged and had been compensating for the defect.
>>
>>154557753
Maravich was survived by his wife, Jackie, and their sons Jaeson, then 8 years old, and Josh, then 5 years old.
>>
>>154557760
Maravich's children were very young when he died, and Jackie Maravich (also known as Jackie McLachlan) initially shielded them from unwanted media attention, not even allowing Jaeson and Josh to attend their father's funeral.
>>
>>154557766
His sons still developed a love for the game, though.
>>
>>154557782
During a 2003 interview, Jaeson told USA Today that, when he was still only a toddler, "My dad passed me a (Nerf) basketball, and I've been hooked ever since ... My dad said I shot and missed, and I got mad and I kept shooting. He said his dad told him he did the same thing."
>>
>>154557738

>>
>>154557790
Despite some setbacks coping with their father's death and without the benefit that his tutelage might have provided, both sons eventually were inspired to play high school and collegiate basketball—Josh at his father's alma mater, LSU.
>>
>>154557798
On June 7, 2024, Josh Maravich died in the family home in Covington, Louisiana, at 42 years old. Some sources speculated it was due to weak BAWB genes.
>>
>>154557820
On June 27, 2014, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal proposed that LSU erect a statue of Maravich outside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
>>
>>154557855
Jackie McLachlan said that she had been promised a statue after the passing of her husband.

The other day there was a Game 7 in NHL. The score was tied with minutes left in the game. /hoc/ fags were raiding this general instead of watching the game. That's how exciting ice soccer is.

>>154557870
Others opposed a Maravich statue because he had fallen a few credits short of graduation, so did not meet the requirements for monuments to student-athletes.
>>
>>154557878
Magic Johnson admitted to taking the "Showtime" name from Maravich, as well as studying all his moves.[55] Meanwhile, Bob Dylan wrote of idolizing Pete Maravich when he was playing for New Orleans.

>>154557977
On July 25, 2022, the statue was unveiled to the public outside of the Assembly Center.

Maravich's untimely death and mystique have made memorabilia associated with him among the most highly prized of any basketball collectibles.

>>154557987
Game-used Maravich jerseys bring more money at auction than similar items from anybody other than George Mikan, with the most common items selling for $10,000 and up and a game-used LSU jersey selling for $94,300 in a 2001 Grey Flannel auction.

>>
>>154558066
In 1987, roughly a year before his death, Maravich co-authored Heir to a Dream, an award-winning (Gold Medallion) autobiography, with Darrel Campbell. It devotes considerable focus to his life after retirement from basketball and his later devotion to Christianity.

Dylan then remembers that it was in the early afternoon, when news of Maravich's death began to wear away, that he started writing a new song called "Dignity."
>>
>>154558198
Though it would remain unreleased for several years, many would regard it as one of Dylan's greatest compositions from that era.
