College Basketball All-Time Scoring Record

[Peter_Spaeth]

Here's the thing about Maravich and why the hobby loves him.

Of course Dantley was better but Dantley was a lunch pail player getting putbacks and 8 footers off the glass after using his butt to create a little space. Maravich was doing stuff nobody could do outside of J and stuff even he couldn't do. People love highlight film players.

An interesting read. No schadenfreude here, but he should be grateful for the opportunity to play for that long in college. I could see him heading to the Euroleague, ABL (Australian Basketball League), CBA (Chinese Basketball Association), IBPL (Israeli Basketball Premier League) with an outside chance at the G(atorade) League. Some American players have had long careers in the ABL and the CBA loves talented American players (Hello, Stephon Marbury)

It worked out the right way and Pete's record should not have and luckily did not fall this way.
As for the kid I hope he has success in life whatever he does. I can see him playing oversees I am not sure I see him in the G League but you never know

After reading this I am extra happy the kid did not get the record.

Bad sportsmanship to me.

He is upset and feels cheated that he did not get a chance to play in that CBI tournament even though his team had a 14-19 record.

He feels he got cheated because the tournament did not select his team because of outside pressure.
Not a good look especially when it took him 144 games and 5 years to do what Pete did in 3 years and 88 games (and without the 3 point line).

Agreed, I had originally said that if I were this kid, and I got the record that way, I would be embarrassed. I have nothing against this kid, and wish him only well.

He's on his own locally here in Detroit for sympathy after the pout fest. He's a very slightly above average player in a below average division. He played a ridiculous amount of games and it would be the equivalent of saying that all the best NFL players of all time were kickers as they are the composition of all the top scorers to actually care. Because they played 20+ years does not gift them a GOAT title.

It was a cute story, however I need no Barnum and Bailey sideshows in the history books.

Very Well Said

And we all hope for the best for him as a person and a career. Just the pout fest ruined a feel good story
And the record should be the record
