The Pistol may be the most underappreciated misunderstood NBA star ever. Perhaps if he had played his entire career with Boston or another established squad, he would be looked upon differently. Regardless, he remains one of the best the league has ever seen...

Pete Maravich found happiness in Jesus Christ, the only source of eternal joy and salvation.

*Jason Williams' handling * Steve Nash's layup/floater *Steph Curry's range I'm pretty sure this guy was a robot... or an alien... or a time traveler from the year 2084

Elgin Baylor calls you the best player he's ever seen. That's a hell of an endorsement.

I saw Pistol Pete play in person. I can't explain him anymore than I can explain why I have such reverence for him. Perhaps I knew I was watching the closest thing to human perfection I may every see. Edit: Pete was carrying in his chest a ticking time bomb. He had a three-chambered heart, and was destined for a short life. He found peace before he left us. There will never be another.

He ran the court with with a beautiful instantaneous gear shifting lower center of gravity that really that in slow motion is a masterpiece of movement...

He's the first player out of Dr. J 's mouth when asked who is best

better than most guards in the league today

Pistol may have been the best ball-handler ever. Anyone who didn't see him play has to objectively watch the low-quality videos. He probably practiced basketball more than any kid ever, read his biography. 44 points per game at LSU is really astounding...

A superstar among stars, a mega star among superstars. For all of Pete's fame and fortune, it wasn't until he gave his life to Christ that he found peace. The Lord may have taken Pete home early, but He allowed Pete to leave us an incredible lesson of what's important in life.

SUPERIOR clip made with love.

excellent. So a joy to watch do things no one did, and seemingly effortlessly.

Pete Maravich was the very definition of basketball. He could do things that no one before, and as far as I am concerned, no one after could do. He was in a league of his own.

Beautifully put together man, great job!

The most important That should have been mentioned in this video Is that Pete was a transformed and saved child of God That had a relationship with the lord His life wasn’t ( religious)before he left this earth . He was a saved man That new a king came here to die for him and knew all fall short of glory and are sinners only saved by His Grace and must surrender to the Lord He was a great basketball player no doubt But what’s the most important is the way Pete left this earth .. Eternity is what matters most .. I pray all have a personal relationship with Jesus and let him reign over your life like Pete did his last years of his life Yours can be over tomorrow.. Make sure your living for the King

The Hawks and the Jazz did a dis-service to one of the three greatest Roundball talents ever to play the game. They looked to one Man to be their savior. He broke himself upon their black vs red column. Not for any other reason, ultimately, than for his love of the sport. And his fealty to the team. When You ask who the other two are, my answer will always be "I haven't seen them yet." One will never be known to anyone but God. The other just hasn't been determined by us yet. I surmise that it was easier to play for the other team against him than it was to play with him on your team. He's a superb example of the phrase " I never saw it coming." He really wasn't a "showman ' or "entertainer" or "he has a bit of 'brother' in him" as others would claim. He Was Just That Damned GOOD. There's really nothing else for it.

Very well put together video. Pistol was one of a kind and very misunderstand. He had mad skills and suffered a devastating injury at his peak shortening his career.

Thanks Jett. Maravich was one of best because he wanted to be one for his parents. At least Our Jesus got Him before Hell did. Thanks again.

You're killing it with these videos of old legends i was watching clips of old player interviews and it made wonder why todays players are so boring other than 5 players i can't listen to them talk the player up untill know had a better way with words

Great insights and an awesome tribute to the "Pistol"!

Today's players -- love to score buckets. A few like to pass and rebound. Pete Maravich -- Loved to Rebound (led all guards in rebound in 1977), Loved to steal, loved to scramble for ball, loved to pass, loved to defend, loved to dribble fancy, loved to shoot circus shots, loved to box out, every thing basketball was -- he loved. Very few guys having as much fun as he did on the court. Pete Maravich would probably score 40 PPG in today's NBA. The man was easily taking 8 shots per game from 3-pts range in the 1970's. In college, it was noted by a researcher , that he averaged 20 shots and 12 makes from beyond 20 feet in college PER GAME!!!! Maravich is criticized for shooting 43-45% from the field as a volume shooter --- BUT --- when 1/3 or more of his shots were from 22-30ft out in 3pts land, and only counted as 2's -- you can see how his percentage of makes wasn't higher. Had he not shot so much from deep -- he could have shot 50%.

One of my favorite videos about the legend, "Pistol" Pete Maravich.

True and sad,

Great job bub⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5:13 Just looking at him here, you can see how the stress took its toll on him. He died at 40, but easily looked 50.

Yo bro i love the narrative you put out there on pistol pete. entertaining and educational about a legend in basketball history.

No Question. The Real GOAT.

This was amazing

Great video, much better content than most of these "basketball youtubers".

This video was beautiful

Great video, glad to have stumbled upon this and cant wait to watch your other vids. Keep up the good work!

Red auerbach and red holtzman both agreed if Pete would have been with there teams at that time he would have matured into a champion and team player..

if 100 people gave me a list for the top 20-25 NBA players of all time, and it didn't include Pete Maravich, i wouldn't consider them crazy at all!!! if i asked 100 people to name the 20-25 best basketball players of all time and Pete wasn't on that list, i would call them insane!!!!

My favorites, best entertaining passing guards in history. Pistol pete. Rondo. Bird. Magic.

Pete Maravich is the most underrated NBA legend of all time. He was the greatest passer, dribbler and shooter of his era. When you looks at players from the 70s most of them have very unorthodox shot forms compared to the 90s and 2000s NBA players. Pete was a strait sniper with a perfect shot. He's kinda of the first hybrid pg/sg

Well told.

Nobody mention’s the fact that in his time he was the fastest player with the ball in his hands!

If wasnt hart and knee problems,racism and jealousy in NBA ( he was good looking,white,best paid player and his teammates would not whant to cooperate with him)he would have much better results,and he is best basketball player of all time,no mather statistics..He made basketball the way it is today,and make it easier for today stars,including Jordan.

The greatest player ever

"Pistol Pete" stands alone. His LSU total is more than 400 points more than Freeman Williams. He averaged at least 43 points per game in his three seasons on the varsity team. What makes his scoring total even more ridiculous is he had to play on a freshman team his first year at LSU, there was no shot clock and there was no 3-point line.

He wasn't misunderstood as much as being a victim of jealousy and sometimes racism on the part of some people such as Oscar Robertson.

Little was said about his impact on college basketball at LSU. His 44.3 scoring average will never be surpassed, as well as his total points in college. Remember that he only played three years in college. In an era without a shot clock and without a three-point line, that scoring average is mind-boggling. Consistently considered the #2 greatest college basketball player of all time, Alcindor being first. Then again, how hard is basketball if you were seven feet three?

Pete's first pro team should've adjusted to a future play needed to keep up. Saddness.

He didn't find "Religion," he found Jesus. Religion cannot change you.

To bad he didn't get credit for 3 point range ,one game he would've scored maybe 90+ pts

Do you have any moré vídeos about Baseball playeras?

His dad sounds like a legit psychopath but whatever it created a legend

Talks and sounds just like Joe Willie Namath. Grew up in same area of Pa.

Pete Maravich has retired before Kevin McHale plays his first year.

Basketball is a team sport and Pete excelled as a prodigy and virtuoso. He never quite excelled @ leading a team to success the way magic, bird, jordan, isaiah, or Russell did

That 5 year run sounds alot like Steph curry minus the titles and mvps

This kind of obsession is unhealthy. Take it from someone who knows...

Best all time |Pistol Pete

Reminds me of Ichiro Suzuki

Wack wack wack

turn down the music

Maravich never won anything in college (no conference or NCAA champions) or the pros (no division, conference, NBA titles). He never played in the NCAA tournament or the NBA playoffs. And only had 1 winning season in college and 1 winning season in the pros. Name another top 50 NBA player with such a sorry career.

Do you listen to your own video's ?? If so, you do away with the annoying music - c ya....

I believe Pete was autistic. Anyone else think so?

He was all white bball players wanted to be in the 70's
