    I only saw Pete play once in his sophomore season at LSU they came to Austin to play Texas. We had all heard about this phenom, and when LSU came out there was this skinny tall kid with his socks down around his ankles. Then he started to play. I have never seen anything like it before or since. He was the most amazing player I ever saw, even though his teams never won. Even UT played them close, but he scored enough for LSU to win.

    This was good. The video gives a proper portrayal of how great Pete was. Because he never won a championship and played on losing teams , Pete never got the proper accolades. Also, traditionalists looked down on him as a "showboat" and "too flashy." This was before the 3 point shot where long attempts were thought of as low percentage and should be avoided. He was a man before his time.
    One of the most telling stories was that Dr J loved his game and wanted to get traded to Atlanta to play with him. That would have been the ticket everyone wanted! Imagine the respect and praise Pistol would get in today's game!

    I read several years ago something that Pete said that amazed me. When he was, I believe in junior high, he would go to a double feature movie every Saturday and take a basketball with him. He would sit in an aisle seat and for the entire 1st movie dribble the ball with the hand next to the aisle. He would switch sides of the aisle and do the same with his other hand when the second movie played.

    As a Pennsylvania kid born in 1956, I grew up watching the epic battles between Wilt and Bill Russell. They both dominated through strength, determination, and sheer force of will that I seemed to actually feel as I watched them on our fuzzy, flipping black-and-white RCA console TV. The '60s had its share of players with great finesse and shooting abilities, but until Pete (and Dr. J) came along, the league had very few with flash and, as a local sportscaster described them, "Pizazz." Even more than his amazing shooting, I LOVED Pete's ball handling, passing, and uncanny ability to seemingly know exactly where every teammate was on the floor at any given time. I'm very thankful that there was no 3-point shot back then. Sure, he may have scored 57 per game at LSU, but the very talents that set him apart would have been coached out of him. I can almost hear a coach saying, "C'mon! Pull up and shoot the damn ball!" Also, everyone else on the team blasting threes would have made his magician-like passing unnecessary or at least greatly diminished.
    I could go on and on, but I'll end by saying, first, thank you for putting this wonderful video together, and second, a big regret is not having the access we have today of watching every game he played instead of settling for watching a few plays on the sports highlights, although living in Pennsylvania I did have the great fortune of watching nearly every '76ers game when Dr. J played on those teams that were stacked with talent at every position. Just one more time, Lord, I'd love to hear the Philadelphia PA announcer Dave Zinkoff introducing Mo Cheeks, Andrew Toney, Moses Malone, Bobby Jones, and ending with his patented
    low muttering growl that worked up to a crescendo, "And, Ladies and Gentlemen from the University of Massachusetts, Julius Eeeerrrrrrvinggggggggg."

      At the forefront of the 25 of 32 teams experiencing a decline in ratings are two of the league’s primetime darlings, who share a stadium-the New York Jets and Giants. While the Jets are coming off a 21-13 win over the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football, their fans aren’t going out of their way to watch Gang Green, losers of five straight entering Thursday when they aren’t on primetime.
      Ratings are down for everything from the NFL, CNN, MSNBC, daytime tv, to everything. No one watches cable TV anymore.

    What Pistol did will never be matched, because dribbling rules changed. Palming/carrying the ball was illegal then; it's legal now. Huge difference.

    I grew up playing High School and City league ball when Pete was coming through college and early pro years. I wore droopy socks and imitated Pistol in everything I could until people hated seeing me score 30 and "hot dog" through everyone. Then they started beating on me without mercy. Refs. had no sympathy because back then nobody liked that shit. It always started with guys making fun of me and by the third quarter, 25pts and fistfights. I mean brawling. But I never stopped doing my thing. RIP Pete Maravich, my hero

    The late sports writer Ralph Wiley described Pistol Pete as follows:
    "If you take all 12 Harlem Globetrotters, melt them down and pour them into the body of a 6 foot, 6 inch white man, that man would be Pete Maravich."

    Pistol and his friend went to the state fair while Pete was at LSU. They came to the booth with the hoop challenge. The one with the smaller basket where the ball just fits, at a weird height and you have to make 2 or 3 in a row to get the prize. Pete stepped up and started winning the prizes and handing them to kids. After a while the guy at the booth says he cant shoot anymore. Won too much. So Pete backs up a ways until he convinces the guy to continue. And he wins a bunch more prizes. And hands them away. A crowd starts forming. Again the booth guy stops him. Pete backs up until the guy thinks it’s too far and it continues. At the end, Pete was shooting over the cheering crowd until he completely wiped the booth out of prizes and then walked away as his friend told the booth guy that he’d just been had by Pistol Pete.

      [Jay_G94] That was one reason given, the 3 point line, trying to remedy "clogging the middle". And unlike what [skelderon64] thinks above, its purpose was to bring more excitement to the game there-by attracting more fans.
