Talk:Pete Maravich

message: His father is of Serb descent from Croatia. But his mother Helen Gravor who married a Montini first was born to US-born parents Nicholas Joseph Gravor and Annie A Miller. Nicholas Gravor's parents were Serbs Peter and Helen Kernich. Miller tho. is not a Serb name. So there's one mystery solved.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.244.114 (talk) 00:27, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

message: This is my first time editing anything on here, so i hope everthing worked, but there were lots of wrongly spelled words and incorrect grammar in the "legacy" section of the Maravich entry. 
This article has a lot of cut and paste content from other websites... that's not good. I've removed some, I'm going to try to clean up the whole thing. --W.marsh 17:43, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: No, as mentioned on your talk page, I think the article is a lot better. (just mentioning it here too for clarity) --W.marsh 19:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Issues 

message: I have read on some sites that he was of Croatian descent, does anyone know for sure what he was?
Someone told me that Nikola Tesla was Croat, too. Alexander the Great was Albanian and so was Superman.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.216.119.83 (talk) 22:14, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Whatever his descent was, it is not right to spell it out in the very first sentence, as if it was one of the most important facts about him, and then ignore the subject altogether in the rest of the article. GregorB (talk) 18:12, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Croatian? 

message: "It was calculated by LSU coach Dale Brown that Maravich would have averaged 57 points per game with the benefit of a college three-point line.[verification needed]"
That would mean 13 of his shots per game were from behind the arc. I've never heard of anybody averaging 13 threes per game!

thread_title:  Incredible Stat 

message: I have found the citation for the NCAA record of scoring 50 points 28 times.  However I am not comfortable with editing citations, so I will post here in hopes someone will do it. The official NCAA records from NCAA.org is at http://web1.ncaa.org/web_files/stats/m_basketball_RB/2009/D1.pdf, and on page 2 of 80. DKP 06:10, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The NCAA tournament during Pete college career was 25 teams (23 in 1968) and only 1 team from each conference was allowed to play.The "larger school" conferences (Pac-8, Big 10, ACC, SEC, etc) had conference tournaments and the winner of their tournament was the team that got to play in the NCAA tournament.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbs527 (talk • contribs) 01:27, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation 

message: The article's lead needs a lot of improvement.  It makes it sound as though Maravich was still an NBA or professional level player at the time of his death, which is misleading.Hoops gza (talk) 11:06, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Lead needs improvement

message: This article needs a lot of work - it doesn't read like an encyclopedic article but more like a puff piece written by one of his fans. For example, at the end of the college section there is this: "Second, Maravich played before the advent of the three-point line. His long-distance shooting skill thus produced fewer points than would have been the case in a later era." This is speculation on the part of the editor. It would b different if it were a quote by someone, but as it is it's just conjecture and doesn't belong here.
It should also be made clear that the "the $1.9 million contract " was the total amount for four or five years, not the yearly amount. Incidentally, that amount would be equivalent to $13,643,800 after adjusting for inflation.
I went ahead made some minor tweaks, but it needs more work. __209.179.28.127 (talk) 17:01, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
