This dude could give Bird and MJ a run for their money. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bm3kNl9waio&rel=1&border=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bm3kNl9waio&rel=1&border=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
I'll admit some of those shots were quite impressive, but it looks like dude's got too much free time on his hsnds.
I agree with Bill Simmons, HORSE should be an all star event. Get rid of the lame NBA, WNBA, and legend event.

The only one that impressed me was when he was standing in between 2 rims at a playground and threw both balls from the backboards in opposite directions and made it in. I can't imagine how long this took to make and they showed him messing up a lot in his juggling.
Yea he was good....for his time. The game has evolved and so have tricks, I doubt he could do much of what today's superstars can do.
Ugh. A healthy Maravich would be the best passer and one of the best scorers in the game today. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Y5KAaercTI&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Y5KAaercTI&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
Agreed. Pistol footage is fun to watch. He's the only guy ever to play for the Jazz that I don't hate with a passion.
Not to mention he averaged like 44 points a game at LSU, before the 3 point shot was instituted. Had it been his average would have been in the mid 50s. ridiculous.
