I see stuff like this from time to time and laugh at what clowns these guys are.

I can't imagine ever being so childish that as an elected representative I would introduce a bill to name an imaginary champion.

These are grown men. Have they no self respect?

Because he’s a darn good coach. Frankly, he should have waited and went after the GCU job that just opened.

LOL. The guy averaged 45 ppg before the 3 pt line existed. What would he have averaged if it had? Regardless, he's a top 3 seed in a bracket at bare minimum, IMHO, because he's a Top 10 college player of all time.

He's white and wore short shorts so ESPN docked him.

Even if you never heard of Pete Maravich, if you know ESPN, you could be deduce two things from this: 1) he obviously did not play for duke or North Carolina and 2) he did not play recently

They are pandering to the millienials.

Jewels to get a case of Squirt
I remember as a kid in the 80s I, like many 10 year olds, was obsessed with stats. I can remember reading that Maravich averaged 44 ppg in college and thinking 'no way that can be right.'

In 2005, ESPNU named Pistol Pete as the greatest basketball player of all time. Lol, good job ESPN, name him the best ever and then give him a 14 seed.
