Should not even be considered together. She is indeed an outstanding athlete and worthy of praise but Pistol Pete was playing against males. We all know that to consider them on the same playing field is beyond reason.

Pistol Pete was playing against males.

Yes he was and at 6'4" he was considered tall for that time. And what other noteworthy players did he compete against that made it into the NBA?

Pete's college days and competition are antiquated in comparison to the quality of both men's and women's college basketball of today......

Could he have accomplished what he did in his prime against today's players who are bigger, faster, stronger and able to sink 3 pointers with ease? Sure, he was ahead of his time, but today, Not likely........
