"When Pete played at LSU the NCAA Tourney was not like it is today with 64+ teams invited. It was a 16 team tournament in those days with most of the teams coming from the ACC, Big Five in Philly, Big 10 and PAC 8. With the exception of Kentucky, teams from the deep south and SEC just weren't invited. Pete wasn't a ""very good ball handler."" He was the greatest ball handler of all time, and the greatest shooter and nobody could or ever did guard him, including the NBA. Sure all his teammates fed him the ball, the guy averaged 44 in college and 5 assists per game. What you do on offense with a guy like that is feed him
