@jackeen D22 No, whites aren't as good at the skill set and athleticism required of modern day NBA basketball players. Period. If they were, there would be more white players in the league. Obviously, the NBA would love to have more white players to appeal to the white demographic and their money. Do you think the NBA would conspire against itself to cheat itself out of profit? POC are more gifted on the basketball court! There's no war against whites. That's god damned ridiculous! It's just a way for those in power to keep us divided. They do it to appeal to the anger and resentment of working-class white guys so they can piss and moan and drown out the injustices, oppression, and exploitation of POC.

James is an offensive force, for sure. But the NBA either needs to call charging and travelling on him once in awhile or just make dribbling an option when he (or anyone else, for that matter) has the ball.
Ken R yes, he is the greatest, larry bird would have trouble but think larry bird would win becauce he was probaby the greatest straight shooter, pete has said long time ado he was not the greatest shooter like ec teammate lou hudson was better
@@jodykushnight7379 His highlights literally prove otherwise. He had handle, inside game, outside game, court vision and whole bunch of other stuff in his arsenal. He really was ahead of a multitude of players in his era.
Both these guys played about 40 years too early. They were great in their era but if they had the green light they have now and the 3 point line they'd each score so much.
FG3% 66.7 This is his 3pt stat in his last three of his career.Didnt shoot many of them but still,66.7% from the 3pt line is pretty sick...I guess he would be over 43% if he had 3pts back then.
Actually, the best estimate is 57 ppg. Former LSU coach Dale Brown charted all 83 games that Maravich played at LSU, Brown determined that Maravich would have averaged 13 three-pointers a game.
Love the southern accent he still had. I grew up in rural Fl. during the time he was in college and my Dad and me used to listen to the LSU games on the radio whenever we could get them...seemed like every game Pistol Pete would drop 45 on somebody. He was quite the hoops phenom in the SEC ....the kid with the floppy socks.
Maravich- greatest college player ever. A scoring machine. He'd have averaged almost 60 points per game for LSU if they would have had the 3-point line back then. The greats from that era, like Maravich, and McAdoo would have done well in this era today because they would have access to the training, video and nutrition that they use today. The greats can play in any era.
Thank you. People love to have that "X person would dominate in Y era," whether it's a modern player going back in time or vice versa. Too many variables
It is SUCH a shame that MAC, does not get an ounce of credit as he was one of the BEST PURE SHOOTERS ever to play the game. Plus he looked so smooth doing it with those two laces flopping all over as he glided through the air. McAdoo, you are one of the best shooters ever, and one of the classiest players I ever met as a kid. God bless you from Vegas. Semper Fidelis, Captain T, U.S.M.C.
he also happens to be one of the nicest guys! His son played high school tennis many years ago and i coached the boy he was playing agains and Mac and i were the only ones there..I spoke to him for well over an hour - just one on one...and what an absolutely super nice, humble guy!
Thanks for putting this on. A true pleasure to watch two great legends from the past. And to those of you disrespecting them. Your parents would be ashamed of you. They paved the way for today’s NBA. Pistol Pete is one of the greatest players of all time hands-down and that is irrefutable.
PISTOL PETE DID IT ALL CAUSE THERE WAS ONLY ONE PISTOL PETE MARAVICH. CASE CLOSED. R.I.P. HEAVEN IS FOR REAL. 🙏♥️😇. GOD BLESS YOU !!!!!!!PISTOL PETE MARAVICH
I remember watching this as a kid. Later that day I worked on the flip-over-the-back and layup shot. Got it down real well and used it for years playing Horse with my buddies. The round-the-back-between-legs layup took a lot more effort to get right and even then it was always a mother to pull off right or at all. Tough move, but Pete made it look so fluid.
Haha anyone saying Pete Maravich wasnt before his time is ignorant about the game of basketball. I suggest you go watch the video where NBA Legends talk about Maravich. Some call him the greatest to ever play.. Thats an actual fact too not just ur dumb opinion because u dont like him lol
@@douglaspatterson1360 Bird was a much better shooter than Magic and better rebounder and just as good a passer. But they played different positions. Magic played PG and Bird small forward. If they played one on one i would take Bird everytime
As a Laker fan - that's sad but true. Magic was more of a team player and Bird was a fantastic one on one player. Kareem said Oscar would beat everyone one on one - and he would know.
Draymond Green : Jump up for a shot against a defender and kick him in the crotch. Andrew Bynum : Have a player drive for a layup basked and undercut him so he falls on his head first or neck back area. Kevin Garnett : Rebound a ball off a miss and throw an elbow out to opponent Kobe Bryant : Don't pass to an open teammate, instead shoot and miss Lebron James : Dribble once, then take 3 or 4 steps and lay-up or dunk.
Bruce Bowen: pretend to challenge jump shot stick foot under landing area to sprain ankle he did that crap to Dirk costing the Mavs a big shot at the 03 title.
I used to watch these guys when i was a kid - remember Mcadoo with the Buffalo Braves and Pistol with the Jazz- who i used to go see. Pete was my favorite player as a kid, to me he will always be the best.
Kobe: Threw both legs, bounce on top of the backboard, bounce on the rim, jump in the air over Scottie pippen and lebron threw both legs into a one handed dunk
PM's skill set, I mean wow. I'm speechless when I watch him pass. I never hear much about his defense though one baller said his defense was underrated. When you have an off the chart offensive skill set like his, anything else he does on court or off is bound to take a back seat.
LOL I understand, but this stuff was cool if you were a kid in the 70s. You have to realize there wasn't cable TV and you were lucky to see a national game once a week. I think this is what CBS had during halftime on some of the games.
The Pistol had supreme confidence in his ability. It was never in doubt. I practiced that throw over my shoulder and reverse layup until I mastered it after watching this back in the 70's? The Pistol was like Bird in a guard's body. To me, the Pistol was the best player to come out of the 70's. Better than, Gervin, Chenier, Clyde, Monroe, West, etc. I used to watch him play and at halftime go outside and practice his moves. I still remember those H-O-R-S-E games and mini coaching clinics at halftime. Great times! Still remember that the NBA had a drug/ cocaine problem back then too.
Thought Maravich was taking advantage until his last shot. He finished with a jumper and not one of his tricks that only he could do. That was classy and fair.
He still would lose to people such as Scottie pippen, lebron James, Kobe Bryant, giannis antetokounmpo, dirk nowitzki, and probably prime Kareem and Wilt Chamberlain
Did y’all know that in college, if you take all of Pete’s shot locations and added the 3pt line, that he would AVERAGE, 14 3pt made per game. Which is insane. Bob McAdoo is a great as well, very underrated in my opinion. Had 50 points in a playoff game in 75’. Very soft jumpshot touch for a big guy
Pete's dad Press was an assistant coach at NC State. He would drive down streets with his car door open while Pete dribbled a ball. Pete really worked on ball handling skills
Richard Currin But his dad also dictated what school he’d go to so he ended up at LSU and never got to play for a national championship because of the NCAA rules. He could’ve played for the likes of UCLA if he’d told his Dad “no”
Pistol was college basketball's first ever "point a minute" player; scoring more points than minutes played while at LSU. His legendary shootout vs Dan Issell of Kentucky on national TV was incredible.
To me, a competition like this is so much more interesting than a slam dunk contest. All of the dunks of today have been done over and over again already. Just my opinion.
I work as a caddie at a top 100 in America golf course. One of our members went to basketball camp with "pistol pete". He says it was the greatest experience of his life.
These friendly H-O-R-S-E competitions back in the day made basketball fun to watch for their fans. TNT Studios with Shaq and company can probably do this today if they wanted to. I admired Pistol Pete and Bob McAdoo. Great basketball legends!
Bob Mcadoo is so underrated. Rookie of the year, scoring champion, mvp, and 6th man of the year with the Lakers. He destroyed the taller centres for his size.
Pete’s been gone for along time. Sad life, and died at 40. Never reached his promise in the NBA. But I think he remains the greatest collegiate player of all time. And he was influential-gets huge respect from a lot of NBA greats who came after him.
those were fun to watch in the 1970's. the nba should bring those events back. i still miss p. maravich. a star that died too young.**** there were loads of great quality players back then.****
Can remember when Bob played for the Buffalo Braves. Scored from anywhere within 25 feet and the announcer would always intone 'that's two, for McAdoo'. Glad he got a ring with the Lakers.
That's my guy Pistol Pete. So smooth with it. Way before J Kidd, Steve Nash, Jason Williams. He had smooth handles and dime passes. Rip Pete Maravich 🏀🙏🏿🙌🏿
we need more shit like this on all star weekend... even former legends going one on one, like kobe vs jordan, reggie vs kenny, shaq vs chuck... what about 1 on 1 playoffs, with lebron, jordan, kobe, durant, kawhi... better than the 'talent challenge' crap they have now
I have a little true-life story that may amuse: It was my first day in 8th grade and my first class was “Gym” and we were all lined up around the basketball court waiting for the new “Gym” teacher who was just starting that year. Finally, a 30-ish man with a buzz cut dressed in chinos, gray “Navy” t-shirt and, if memory serves, Joe Lapchick high-tops came onto the floor with a solemn-faced little boy of four, maybe five years in tow. After he introduced himself, he told us our first class was to run laps, which we did and while we trudged our circuits, our teacher proceeded to demonstrate to the lad how to dribble, cut, fake, and shoot and then issued stern commands and corrections as the tyke tried to duplicate his moves. The year was 1952 and the court was Aliquippa High School. The teacher was Press Maravich and the little boy has always held a special place in my heart and I feel so privileged to have witnessed the first day the legendary never-to-be-equalled “Pistol Pete” Maravich set foot on a basketball court. RIP, little lad, you were one of a kind.

Still better quality than the Quarantine tourny.
Not fair,Pistol was phenomenal.
I don't even like basketball, but Maravich was a monster. Amazing. RIP.
two of the my all-time favorites!
Maravich: “right step, dribble, brush your teeth, reverse lay up, off the bank.”
Pete is the best around nothing will keep him down not even age
well he is dead....
+Jason Burton He had a congenital heart defect which he couldn't have known about.
How about death?????
That's my guy Pistol Pete. So smooth with it. Way before J Kidd, Steve Nash, Jason Williams. He had smooth handles and dime passes. Rip Pete Maravich 🏀🙏🏿🙌🏿
Man,I remember these at halftime and dunk contests...
Wow this is ware footage props 4 having ur hands on it and sharing it
we need more shit like this on all star weekend... even former legends going one on one, like kobe vs jordan, reggie vs kenny, shaq vs chuck... what about 1 on 1 playoffs, with lebron, jordan, kobe, durant, kawhi... better than the 'talent challenge' crap they have now
And that proves--what? That's apples vs banana's!
Wonder what his scoring stats would've been with a 3 point line?
rubbersole79 They earned 3 pointers the old fashioned way...took a foul while driving to the hoop.
I know that his 68-point game would’ve been 74. In college, yes, he would’ve averaged over 50 a game.
A record for the ages--like Wilt's 100 pt game--never been beaten! Pete was the GOAT outside shooter!
I have a little true-life story that may amuse: It was my first day in 8th grade and my first class was “Gym” and we were all lined up around the basketball court waiting for the new “Gym” teacher who was just starting that year. Finally, a 30-ish man with a buzz cut dressed in chinos, gray “Navy” t-shirt and, if memory serves, Joe Lapchick high-tops came onto the floor with a solemn-faced little boy of four, maybe five years in tow. After he introduced himself, he told us our first class was to run laps, which we did and while we trudged our circuits, our teacher proceeded to demonstrate to the lad how to dribble, cut, fake, and shoot and then issued stern commands and corrections as the tyke tried to duplicate his moves. The year was 1952 and the court was Aliquippa High School. The teacher was Press Maravich and the little boy has always held a special place in my heart and I feel so privileged to have witnessed the first day the legendary never-to-be-equalled “Pistol Pete” Maravich set foot on a basketball court. RIP, little lad, you were one of a kind.
the shots are like me and my daughter playing in my driveway. lol
From a time when there were still only 2 basketball players in the entire world and only 1 team gear.
What are you on about man?
Huh?
Pistol Pete inspired And1
Two legends…this is too cold
This was a very popular game back in the day...
Pete is the last guy you wanna play against when it comes to horse
I'd actually pay to play against him. I'd probably lose every time but maybe it would be close.
i respect these guys as 2 of the all time greats but this looks like me and my dad playing horse in the driveway
I agree. This competition was held in 1978.
Pistol Pete was something else
Great game of horse...Pistol Pete was the best.
3:58 '''CHOKE'' lmao
Who won?
I only said what somebody else said...
It was a joke, they are not meant to take seriously.
He is quoting Maravich. Maravich uttered, Choke, after he missed his shot.
I really wanna see stuff like this in the modern NBA
3:57 🤣 he said choke that was savage
Back when ppl had CLASS!
MENDY RUDOLPH REFFING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a shot from the free throw line that was insane!
Love it! The basketball equivalent to baseball's old Home Run Derby.

Lucas S Not every body in the nba can do what Pistol pete is doin u drunk asf
