Maravich played before the advent of three-point line. His long-distance shooting skill thus produced far fewer points than would have been the case in a later era. Years later former LSU head basketball coach Dale Brown charted every college game Maravich played, taking into consideration all shots he took. Brown calculated that at the NCAA rule of a three-point line at 19-foot (5.8 m), 9-inches from the rim, Maravich would have averaged thirteen 3-point scores per game, lifting the player's career average to 57 points per game.

O__O

Maravich was quite the gunner. ;) I have no reason to doubt this assertion.

I also fondly "Downtown" Freddie Brown hoisting up 30 footers as a regular thing for the Sonics before the 3 point basket rule. He made a damned high percentage of them, too. As the game progressed and the defense came out further and further, he'd just step back another three feet and fire away.
