Pete Maravich had 6 50-point games (without a 3-point line) in the NBA.

His career high of 68 was against the 77 Knicks (Monroe, McAdoo, Bradley, Frazier & Phil Jackson).

After the game, he said, “I could have scored more."

Pete Maravich played his final games in the NBA with Larry Bird & the Boston Celtics.

The NBA also added the 3-point line during his final season. The Pistol made 10 of 15.

Can you imagine how many points a young & healthy Pistol would have averaged with a 3-point line?
