Pistol Pete

Atlanta Being factual takes nothing away from what Caitlin Clark has accomplished. Nevertheless, we can’t simply compare number of points scored when talking about Caitlin and Pistol Pete Maravich. Unless you’re prone to ignoring particulars. But who would do that? Oh…yes. Of course. Here come the media… ESPN’s comparison is a prime example of the media’s spin on history and reality. They…

The Tragic Death of Josh Maravich: Honoring the Legacy of a Basketball Family

Who Was Josh Maravich?

Early Life and Basketball Beginnings

Josh Maravich was born on March 25, 1982, in Metairie, Louisiana. He was the younger son of Pete Maravich, famously known as “Pistol Pete,” a Hall of Fame basketball player renowned for his scoring prowess and showmanship on the court. Growing up in a household where basketball was more than just a game, Josh was naturally drawn to the sport from a young age.

High School and College Career

Josh Maravich made a name for himself in high school basketball at St. Paul’s High School in Covington, Louisiana. During his three-year career, he scored over 1,000 points and was named MVP of the District in his senior season. His talent on the court earned him a spot on the LSU men’s basketball team, where he played as a reserve from the 2001–02 to 2004–05 seasons under coach John Brady.

Still Packing Records

You remember all those years when Pete Maravich was called the all-time leading NCAA Division I men’s or women’s scorer.  Or you’re honest.  Caitlin Clark has tallied more points than anyone in the category she doesn’t play against.  And she’s gotten more than him numerically without passing.  Of course, she’s at her group’s top.  But it’s not like she can shoot to the other category.  There’s no shame in failing to splash a jumper on a different court.

Particularly smug gloating on her behalf should not be attributed to the best woman’s scorer there is.  Racking up points by the thousands is an accomplishment on its own that warpers of what constitutes equality want to distort by pretending she bested a bunch of dudes, too.  An imaginary crossover is not exactly helping her gender’s sake in the way they claim.

Defenders of Maravich typically base their arguments in the context of rules at the time.  His unfathomable scoring total is even more astounding considering he registered those points in three seasons with no three-point line.  LSU’s greatest legend would’ve managed a bunch more without moving his feet and certainly would’ve stepped behind the arc if it existed.

Maravich also scored constantly when rules permitted leisurely pace.  It sounds even more ancient than phones hung on walls, but every collegiate point he managed was without the restriction of a shot clock.  Constant baskets were relatively more impressive during an era with theoretically two possessions per game.

The particular restrictions mean he would’ve undoubtedly scored more under present freewheeling conditions.  Most importantly, Maravich played against fellow fellows.  There are no co-ed records any more than they sub for each other.

Noting the inability to transfer points does not not claiming the men’s standard is superior, although a decent boys’ high school team could win the women’s college championship this and every year.  Anyone who doesn’t want an obvious truth brought up should stop pretending the different brackets are comparable.  The competitions are merely separate.  Asking what M and W each stand for will mean being subjected to a struggle session.

Those truly interested in a fair result would suggest she play against men if she really wants the crown.  But the preening on her behalf isn’t her fault.  There’s no reason to include her in a figurative situation just because the deluded types who invented a race think they’re winning it.

An agenda by proxy tarnishes the tremendous feat set on courts.  Using a successful student-athlete who set a record to allegedly empower just detracts from her relentless point rate.  Sports journalism is almost as biased as the news kind.  Claiming Clark holds the title in a parallel event shows why sports fans change ESPN as soon as games end and often mute them while they’re on.

Gender confusion is regrettably trendy in one area where the distinction illustrates the absurdity.  A wholly theoretical contest is coincidentally popular amongst amateur mad scientists who think a man can declare he’s a woman.  Swimming records are suddenly smashed when the full-torso suit side takes the pool.  It’s uncanny how many females who were cursed to not be born as such transition to becoming dominant athletes once they choose what they assure us is their true form.

Today’s twisted endorsers of parity never called Pistol Pete the leading scorer of any gender.  He remains the record-holder, namely against every man who ever played at the NCAA’s highest level.  That undeniable actuality is controversial in these oh so enlightened times.  Those who think everything’s equal except when it’s not would have palpitations about Pete’s nickname regarding his propensity for shooting.

Maravich will always be remembered as a singular player and unique person.  Perusing the raw statistics of his relentless scoring pace doesn’t capture the unmatched artistry with which he made the ball obey his will.  Just like his scoring proclivity, we may never see such athletic artistry again.

Life continues after games end.  Maravich’s pursuit of scoring deeds came secondary to searching for purpose.  The restless drive with which he sought spiritual enlightenment should remain an inspiration to everyone seeking meaning in existence.  Today, he’s treated like some guy who’s been bested by a lady who played against other ladies.

Recognizing the men’s scoring king remains unchallenged is not taking away from Clark’s accumulation.  A fundamentally different league can’t be measured concurrently.  Apply the standard to the pros and see how reasonable it sounds.  WNBA leading scorer Diana Taurasi is 392nd on the combined list with NBA players.  If you think that’s an unfair comparison, I agree.

The effort to promote a fictional record diminishes her actual achievement.  Sanctimoniously patronizing types who think females needed Title IX to play collegiate sports are remarkable in their ability to harm the causes they espouse.  It’s enough of a triumph to outscore anyone who played the identical hoop-based diversion versus the same sex.

But fashioning a rogue championship belt does nothing to further the holder’s ranking.  Noting biological reality is a revolutionary act that leads to banishment.  The radical notion that men and women are different shocks observers in the way the sports they play don’t overlap even for the same game.  It’s almost as if there’s a reason they don’t vie against each other.  The numbers never line up.

Pete Maravich Said Larry Bird Is The Best NBA Player In 1987: "He’s Not The Best Shooter, He’s Not The Best Scorer. He’s Just The Very Best."

"It is often forgotten though, that Maravich finished his career with the Boston Celtics in 1980, so he got to play alongside Larry Bird for a little bit. Maravich was impressed by what he saw and years later in 1987, just a year before his tragic passing, he stated Bird is just the best there is in the league."
