Re: Why is Maravich in the HOF?
His talent was never in question; how he used it frequently was. Maravich was a gunner who played most of his career as a shoot first ball dominator, similar to Iverson. He actually seemed a bit more of a PG mentality than Iverson though I hadn't looked at turnovers, a bit weaker defensively though with good size unlike AI. His shot percentages were better than Iverson's have been (until last year when AI really took advantage of the no handchecking rule) . . . very similar players (Gil too, though early in Gil's career). I'd give the nod to AI over Maravich for his greater consistency and his one Finals appearance but no, there are a lot of guys who are being passed over (Gilmore, Moncrief, etc.) who in my opinion were much better players than AI ever has been. MUCH!!!
