Pete Maravich question

What numbers did Maravich wear with LSU? His freshman year, someone else had #23, so what # did he wear?

 

I'm not positive, but I think he wore #23. As a freshman, he didn't play on the varsity team. Freshmen were not allowed to play varsity. So, he probably wore #23 on the freshman team.
Can you imagine how many pts he would have scored if he had played as a freshman, AND had a 3 pt line????

 

Rich is correct on all counts

 

No one is going to touch his records anyway, but Pistol Pete would certainly have averaged close to 50 points a game with the 3-point line. Today when a player scores over 30 eveyone is astounded that the guy "went off" with such a scoring barrage in a game. It make's Pete's accomplishments that much more incredible.

 

Maravich wore #23, #44, and #7 in his basketball career. I think Michael Jordan chose #23 because of Pistol Pete...

 

I found a link that says Pete wore #24 his freshman year. So which is it?

 

I believe a reporter or someone (I want to say Joe Macaluso) from The Advocate a while back, listened to all the radio broadcasts of Maravich and created a shot chart based on the 3 pt line, and he would have avg over 50 pts a game. That's insane!

These are two good links on the greatest basketball college player ever.
