Bill Walton said math validates the claim Pete Maravich would average 57 points today: "Dale Brown went back and charted all the games"

I apologize, at times I don’t articulate my self especially well. The point I was wanting to make is that if I’m a head basketball coach, of a college or professional basketball team, or an AD or owner then it seems to me what I want to do is find and recruit or draft a player who is at the very top of their peers stat wise in all facets of the game of basketball. Scoring, rebounding, assists, steals blocked shots, tipped passes, saves, everything. That is the basketball player I want on my team. Jordan and Bryant are two examples. When they played basketball were they at the top of the league or near it in all of those stat’s? I don’t know. I can think of only one player that I have seen in my 64 year old lifetime who has that overall level of talent: Caitlin Clark. If she isn’t the best scorer in the nation that day she might be in two other categories. Every time, if she’s not the best she’s probably two or three. Tell me about other players who could do all that. Regards.

I forgot that connection with him and those sports writers who did the SLA thing for Rolling Stone

Something like that

Bill and Emily Harris

Leftist militant shit seemed passé by then

Like Tangled Up In Blue

Walton likely did get more interest than most black players

White and proto hippie

Made for media coverage then

I was already rightish when I met him

It was mostly just bullshit about the Dead and cascades

I was in Boston to meet reps from Muzo in Colombia

They were my first contact for down there

And introduced me to the ever lovely Christina Sanchez

Both Irish Connecticut private school kids from Washington depot

They taught English in bogota

And brought emeralds home

Funny how things have their genesis

I met their Tufts classmate at a party in Houston and he told me about them

He worked for schlumberger

They married and had kids quick

Catholic

Her folks lived next to Leon Hess

I’m meandering obviously on a crisp cloudlessly 55 degree tn morning on a hilltop having morning stogie and diet sun drop

Overlooking dog park

Harlinsdale farm

Franklin is bucolic which is why y’all are invading lol
