CAREER STATISTICS AND RECORDS SET BY PETE MARAVICH

I have compiled this lengthy and impressive list of records from mainly two sources. The first "set" was taken from Pete Maravich's wonderful autobiography, Heir to a Dream. As the key indicates, the * statistics are those that were still held in 1987. If any one has any information as to if these records have been broken and are no longer accurate I would greatly appreciate it if you would notify me by e-mailing me. My second, more recent source was Forever Showtime by Phil Berger, which was published in 1999. This is a more extensive and lengthy "set" of records (game by game) and should be fairly accurate. However, if that is not that case, I would be grateful to any updated information through e-mail. Thank you so much, and enjoy!
