You may be thinking of Reggie "Mule" King of Alabama. He and Bernard were not related.

I love your opinions. I don't necessarily agree with them, but all the same, i respect that you have no qualms about expressing them. Bernard King without the two lost years with knee problems would have been a legend..........like Bird and Magic. Just my opinion, and I'm sticking to it. He was the best scorer I've ever seen, including, but not limited to the SEC. Does no one but me remember the year that he carried the Knicks all season........especially at the end? He couldn't miss. ESPN loved him!

The duel he had with Isiah in Game 5 of the Knicks-Pistons series in '84 was arguably the best NBA game I've ever seen.

The only better showdown I've ever seen was Dominique Wilkins vs. Larry Bird in 1988.

All of the talk about Bernard King being the best player in UT b-ball history got me thinking about where he ranks else where. It is obvious that he is the best that has played at UT. Where does everyone think that he ranks historically in the SEC? NBA?

In the NBAs 50th anniversary he was named one of the top 50 ever to play. He was never the same after he blew out his knee and could have had an ever more incredible career. My dad said that his first college game ever he scored 42 points. Thats pretty amazing.

I actually heard that he was gay.....with urkel.

I'm actually being serious. My brother used to be a journalist for the orlando sentinel, and that was the rumor. Urkel came to all the games.

Maravich never saw the day he was half as good as the players you list 2-5. I bet all those guys wish they had played for their father, been given unlimited shots, and had no pressure to actually occasionally win games. Maravich was nothing but a cheap circus act. His silliness was one of the forerunners to the And 1/streetball dreck that ESPN tries to pass off as sport.

Are you saying he was terrible? Back it up with facts if you are...

Name a team he ever led to anything. He's nothing more than media creation. He's a guy who shot alot and scored alot for bad teams. Big deal. There are plenty of those guys in basketball history. Had Bernard King taken the number of shots Pete Maravich did, he would have averaged about 56 points a night. Maravich was a slightly better version of Rex Chapman.

What was LSU's record the year before he came and their record when he left?

He never won anything? You sound like a Peyton critic. You just admitted he played on bad teams.

Oh my goodness... I just read your rant about him being a better version of Rex Chapman. OK... Then what does that make Chris Jackson?

Who cares? He made a terrible team mediocre. Big deal. Maravich was nothing more than a shot hogging individualist. Bernard King, Dan Issel, Shaq, and about 15 other guys were better players in the history of the SEC.
