Pete Maravich (68 Points/CAREER HIGH) vs Knicks, 1976-77, highlights

February 25, 1977, New York Knicks at New Orleans Jazz highlights focusing mostly on Pete Maravich. 5:39 for the beginning of the game's highlights, 28:22 for the start of the 2nd half. box score (basketball-reference credits Pete with having 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, contrary to what I've accounted him for, here): http://www.basketball-reference.com/b... The ultimate Pistol Pete performance! Maravich had both guns blazing from the start, as he was scoring in numerous ways and just couldn't be contained. If I'm not mistaken, he started the game going 15-20 from the field, and ended it on 8-12. Just one of the greatest scoring displays in NBA history. To top if off, he was also playmaking and dishing dimes (all 5 of them in the 2nd quarter), he provided some rebounding and was really hustling out there, actually playing some nice D. With a 3-point line his points total would've been at least in the low 70's, plus he fouled out with 1min18sec remaining in the game and on some questionable calls. He also had too many turnovers though, some due to charges, others because he was doing too much as usual. Walt Frazier - one of the greatest defensive players ever - who was not at his best anymore although still solid enough, Butch Beard and also Dean Meminger were guarding Pete but no one could really stop him, not even with the help from teammates. You can say that this was Maravich's peak season, as he led the league in scoring with 31.1 points per game (without a 3pt-line), was 3rd in MVP voting and made the All-NBA 1st team. He was also 12th - in the league - in assists per game, and top5 in rebounds per game amongst guards. He scored 50 or more points 4 times as New Orleans won all of those games, he scored 40+ points 13 times as the Jazz went 10-3, and he scored 30+ points 39 times as they went 25-14. He scored 36.4 ppg on 34 wins and 26.6 on 39 losses. So, it’s easy to tell that he had to carry the whole team on his back, at least on the offensive end. At home, in New Orleans, he scored 34.2 ppg. Combining his ten best scoring games - that season - he put up 48.5 ppg on 50.7% from the field and 85.4% from the free-throw line, with the Jazz winning all but one of those games. The team was built around Pete but he didn't have much help AT ALL, especially on the offensive side of things; he really had his work cut out for him and I don't think much more success would've been possible. The Jazz and the Knicks were fighting for the last Playoff spot in the East, so this was a big win for New Orleans. Ultimately, neither team got there. Jazz finished the season with 35 wins and 47 losses, and were 1-8 when Maravich didn't play. Bob McAdoo is also on this one (for the Knicks)... A very underrated player and one of the greatest scorers of all-time, in his prime; shame that injuries were a constant in his career. Bob had himself a really good game while showing his great shooting touch, at the beginning it even looked like it could've been a battle between him and Maravich but Bob cooled off as the Pistol just kept it going. Also shown is Earl "The Pearl" Monroe or even Phil Jackson, who later became one of the greatest coaches ever. Highlights also including Bob McAdoo, Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Lonnie Shelton, Tom McMillen, Bill Bradley, E.C. Coleman, Nate Williams, Phil Jackson, Otto Moore, Mo Howard, Jim McElroy, Paul Griffin, Rich Kelley, Butch Beard, Jim McMillian, Aaron James, Ticky Burden and Dean Meminger.
