THE BATTAIk£ HE . E
Pistol Pole regains weight and scoring style after illness S\
By The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES <A>) — Pete
Maravich, gradually regaining
pounds and strength sapped by
mononucleosis, says he sometimes
gets so tired he can hardly move
on the basketball court.
And there was a time when
he had strong doubt that he’d
play at all in the 1971-72 season
for the Atlanta Hawks of the
National Basketball Association.
Yet the 6-foot-5 Maravich,
playing 19 pounds under his pre-
illness weight, poured in 50 points
Sunday in his team’s 124-116 vic
tory over Philadelphia.
Maravich, 23, who missed his
team’s first 14 games because
of the debilitating virus, also has
enough vigor to play in the
NBA’s One-on-One competition.
He was here this week for tele
vision taping of the competition.
He called One-on-One the “most
draining type of basketball you
can play.” He had to win intra
squad competition to represent
Atlanta and said it left him “worn
out for a week.”
Never a husky physical speci
men, he said his weight now fluc
tuates between 184 and 186, com
pared to 203 at the start of pre-
season training.
“I won't be able to gain back
much more of the weight this
season,” he said. “We have a
demanding schedule. I just want
to get back into physical condi
tion at 185 pounds.”
Maravich said the three weeks
he spent in a hospital didn’t hurt
his shooting form, but he recalls
his first work-out—a solo shoot
ing session—after getting the doc
tor’s permission.
“I felt so frail out on the
court. I thought to myself, that
I probably wouldn’t be back in
any kind of shape for the whole
year.”
Atlanta Coach Richie Guerin
said he was surprised by Mara-
vich’s scoring spree, especially
because it was the Hawks’ third
game in as many nights.
“He was really tired,” Guerin
said. “I took him out with 30
seconds left. I tried to get him
out earlier but it was a close
game.”
Maravich said the rest he had
on Saturday night enabled him to
come back with a “so-called good
performance” on Sunday.
“The night before I didn’t log
but about 25 of the 46 minutes,
so I really didn’t play three in
a row.”
But that still doesn’t explain
how the former national collegiate
scoring champion at Louisiana
State scored 50 points.
Maravich said the foundation
was laid before the game started.
“The team got together and
we decided to express ourselves.
We had gotten pounded into the
ground in two previous games.
We thought we should run more.
Center Walt Bellamy and the for
wards were getting down the
court so fast that they were mak
ing avenues for me. They gy MICH
