I'm guessing that his 3-point percentage was very high, which is all the more miraculous because teams were hanging all over him. Yes, he did shoot a lot, but he also scored a lot. 44 ppg. And with teams slowing it down constantly. Can you imagine a 44 ppg player today? He/She would be triple-teamed. I don't think it would happen in CBB anymore. And consider that at that time, the very best players almost all remained for four years. So Pistol Pete and LSU were playing against what were almost NBA-quality teams. Not like today, when at most a pro prospect stays perhaps two years at the very most. [/QUOTE]
