Because ten years from now, another player could play longer than Lebron. Can a player starting next year play for five years? Davis got to play in twice as many games as Maravich because of a fluke that a miniscule number of players will ever get.
If you read race into this comment and not a comment on how the modern game is played, then maybe it's you that's racist.
Several asterisks.
"I feel like I got cheated out of something that they can't ever give back to me".It's not fair.. 😫😫😫
Davis: Feel 'cheated' out of shot at NCAA record
Detroit Mercy's Antoine Davis, who finished four points shy of breaking Pete Maravich's NCAA scoring record, told the AP he's "upset" about the Titans being denied an invitation to play in the CBI or inaugural College Hoops Postseason 8.www.espn.com
Ridiculous...It's not fair.. 😫😫😫

Davis played in 61 more games and had the benefit of the 3 point shot but it's not fair??
Everyone gets cheated. It's passed down to our youth now. In the last 2 years I have said to kids multiple times, "You didn't get cheated. You just got beat." It's becoming a real thing.It's not fair.. 😫😫😫

Interestingly, I discovered that Pete took more shots in his three years than Davis took in five. That's how you average 44 points for a career.
Yep. Coach’s son who always had the green light and never passed up a shot.Interestingly, I discovered that Pete took more shots in his three years than Davis took in five. That's how you average 44 points for a career.
The 3-point shot is a non-issue. The game was much faster paced back then, which more than cancels out the 3-point advantage. The average team points per game in the SEC during Maravich’s senior season was over 80. The average points per game in today’s NCAA is around 68.
I'm not so sure about that. Maravich's shots were charted and he would've averaged over 55 points a game with the 3 point shot. Davis wouldn't be even close if it was available.
The point is that even though he didn’t have the 3-point shot, he played in an era that featured more wide open play and more scoring. If he played today he would have the benefit of the 3-point shot but he would also have far fewer scoring opportunities.
You've said that? Gosh, I wouldn't have guessed that, but it shows there is hope.
More than once. It really started the last couple of years. I also address the "They're bragging!" whining. "No they aren't. They're happy they did something well. I'd be happy too. What you should say is good job and we'll get you next game." I don't have much tolerance for any of that. I usually add something like, "Were they dancing in your face saying we won, you lost? No? Then this is a you problem."
