PETE NOT HUMAN AFTER THIS !! Ki & Jdot Reacts to 7 Stories That Prove Pete Maravich WAS NOT HUMAN

[@bwink23]

With a 3-point line, Pete would have averaged 50 in college.

[@mikeat2637]

LSU coach Dale Brown charted every one of Pete's shots and found that Pete shot an average of between 9 and 12 three's a game and made 80% of them. He figured that Pete, with a three-point line, would have scored 57 points per game for his career. Back then I followed college basketball a lot. In 1970, Pete's final year of college, he was in a three-way race for the NCAA scoring average. It was Pete, Calvin Murphy of Niagara and Rick Mount of Purdue. The race went down to the least game of the season, with Pete edging out Calvin Murphy with a 44.5 per game average. Rick Mount finished 3rd.

When Pete scolded Bird for shooting shots over a double-team, Bird said "If you were any good they wouldn't be doubling me."

[@iiTzLurks]

Bird was rude for some reason idk why

[@kendogg1337]

@@iiTzLurks Bird was the biggest trash talker and best basketball IQ in the history of the sport. Period. He'd trash talk anyone. And back it up. His mind games were legendary.

Pete was done when he came to Boston. Believe it was Birds rookie year.. young full of testosterone

[@richardpierce7819]

Petes knees were ruined after he was injured in New Orleans and was at the end of his carreer , dont talk bad about the greatest of all time. Did Bird average 44 pts per game in college for 3 yrs straight , no , Pete Maravich did. Did Bird score over 3700 pts in 3 yrs in college. No Pete Maravich did. Did Bird ever score 68 pts in a single NBA game , no Maravich did against the knicks in 1977. So dont talk about how good Bird was. Maravich did all this with no 3 pt line.

[@gualbertogarcia305]

FELLAS, Thank You for this Video of the “PISTOL”, the Greatest Scorer in College Basketball History.

[@zombiegoatt4282]

Part of his dribbling routine was during his walk to school. He would dribble the ball up and down the railroad tracks. He used this to generate bad bounces from dribbling so he could learn to control those bad bounces better.

[@keithetherington4824]

Pistol Pete played with Larry Bird in his rookie year. He practiced with Bird everyday on passing and dribbling. He helped Bird become a better basketball player. 🏀

[@waynesylvia1083]

He was also asked to join the Harlem Globetrotters and he refused,he was and always will be the Best,he is what made Basketball today

[@thatmanstumototours2270]

He came off the bench for Boston in his last year, still gimpy on bad knees. This was also the first year with the 3 point line in the NBA,(ABA always had the 3) In his one season with it, he went 10 of 15 from the 3 Line, giving him a career 66% from 3.😎

[@ContrarianCorner]

It must have been absolutely heart-breaking for Pete to watch the Celtics win the title the year after he retired. If he had just held on for one more year, he would finally have the ring that always eluded him. There are many tragic elements to his life and career. I'm glad people still remember how truly special he was.

[@44JMK]

His father was obsessed with basketball, kind of like Michael Jackson's dad and the Williams sisters dad did with them. It worked in those cases, but it also robs people of their childhoods to a degree. The Hawks could've had Julius Erving and Pete Maravich, but lost Erving to the Philly in a court case. Maravich and Erving would've been an incredible combination! Sadly, Maravich wound up on a bunch of bad teams. Worse, he died of a heart attack at age 40...while playing I'm a pickup game. GREAT reaction to a great video.

[@btech09]

His congenital heart problem still has no revealing test, today. Never should have lived past his teens and simple exercise is exhausting to those who suffer it much less playing ball at his level. When he died, his heart was so scarred it simply gave out. The guy never should have been allowed to play at the high school level and never knew his lack of stamina was due to only having one artery supplying oxygen to his body. An exceptional human, he literally played his heart out.

[@garyzink1927]

While in college our team was playing larry birds team, and heard he was a potential all American. Knowing nothing about him we tried guessing which black player he was during warm ups. Man were we wrong. He beat us and set our arena scoring record. Loved watching your Pistol reactions. Peace from Northern Michigan.

His dad recognized his talent for basketball and pushed him toward that sport.

[@yoinkhaha]

That’s a horrible way to raise a child, no matter who you are or what your talents.

[@markuyehara7880]

No, he pushed him before that. In any case, that's a terrible thing to do to your child. His father was a monster. There's a reason Pete died early.

[@fidge54]

Really?? Hahahaha

[@yambo59]

Pete did play with the celtics and Bird, but injuries had slowed him down by that time and his game was off, thats why he was on the bench more than most. Larry praised Pete in more than one interview and he also got quite a few moves from him as well. I would love to have seen a healthy pete and larry play on the celtics at the same time, can you imagine-???

[@innosanto]

Bird and Magic saved the NBA. They are the goats of NBA.

[@isaacpadron3211]

@@innosanto I'm not gonna argue with you on Bird and Magic. Two of my favorites (I hated Bird. Which shows just how great he was). However, the article I read spoke of how the audience was really going down in the NBA before Maravich. He came and put people in the stands. Bird and Magic came along later and saved it in their own way. But the audience was at least there for them to take over.

[@sandyleewhite]

Yup, it's called reverse psychology, and it a terrific way to persuade someone to do something!!

[@HocusPocusFocus69]

Larry Bird said that it was as if the ball was an extension of Pete's hand.

[@brianbrooks-in5yy]

He was jelly before anyone else was! His way of playing changed the game from lame old school to flashy new school!

[@geobol7603]

Good one, also: check out the Red on Roundball with Calvin Murphy- it’ll blow you away! No one- not Pistol, Kyrie or Steph can dribble like Murphy in that episode. Remember: it was mid to late 80’s/ early 90’s when the dribble/ carry rule was enforced differently, and a player was allowed to dribble on the side of the ball - Tim Hardaway and Iverson was the generation this change happened. Prior- a player had to dribble down in the ball- or it was a carry. Players can “turn” the ball now. That’s why the game looked so different. Pistol Pete would’ve blown by anyone if a modern crossover were allowed.

[@markuyehara7880]

In Pete's day, the NIT was the biggest tournament in college basketball.

[@agordon7369]

It was Birds rookie year and Bird was taking crazy shots while being double and even triple teamed, Pete said you can’t keep taking those shots and Bird told him if you were any good they wouldn’t double and triple team me someone has to take this team to the win.

[@jjkcharlie]

Watch the 1996 first round NCAA game, Princeton vs. UCLA. Great game.

[@richardpierce7819]

Bird would later say and I quote " it was like a string was attached to the ball and Petes hand.

[@logansgigi]

Just wanted to add two things. Pete died from an undetected heart defect he was born with. People have two coronary arteries, which supply the heart with blood. Maravich had only one. The life-expectancy of this defect is 20 years. Also, Pete would dribble the ball on different surfaces. He told the story of dribbling in the rain on a muddy driveway. It was all about the sound the ball would make and how long it took to come back to his hand. Doing this helped him anticipate the ball without looking at it.

[@deannacrownover3]

Larry and Pete were actually on the same team! Pete was a half generation older than Bird.

[@innosanto]

Hit that older but retired early.

Like Bird he trained hard to be the best at his position because of his lack of natural athletic ability. But it shortened his career & boozing afterwards shortened his life. But we hear more about Bird because unlike Pistol Pete he had the playoff success.

In spite of his success in the college ranks and in the NBA, he didn't have a happy life. What his father Press did to push him into basketball was child abuse, plain and simple. And it ended with Pete having serious alcohol problems and a hard family life. He turned his life around and was happy for the first time in his life, and then died suddenly at the age of 40 on a basketball court in California on January 5th, 1988.

Yeah they played together but it was kind of like Larry Bird at the end you know what I mean easiest to hurt anymore to have the fire for basketball but it would have been awesome site to seen Pistol Pete fast forward in time to instead of being in his injured part of his career when he went to Boston butt at the beginning cuz could you imagine that Pete with his fire for basketball eat sleeping crapping living breathing basketball Larry Bird if he's not playing basketball he's watching film about basketball that would have been tremendous but they're like 10 years apart easily. Cuz Pete I watched on film was born in 77 I grew up watching Larry Bird Kevin McHale Parish. As a kid I couldn't stand magic that you just thought he was so cocky compared to Larry Bird. You know as a kid you don't understand that you know she was Sports Persona you got to be a little cocky little self-confident and Larry Bird was just slick with his stuff, as a kid I never knew he talked so much s*** knew he was such a jerk to people. But like I said it's Sports Persona you know I was tickled to know that they actually liked each other and magic and actually been to French Lick Indiana and hung out with Larry Bird's mom and she made him lunch and they played basketball in the yard like f****** to friend like real friends that was that was awesome! But I highlights I just like that I got loved Walter Payton Minnesota kid running around with a Walter Payton Jersey my uncles were very pissed off at me LOL. And there's an eight-year-old my response was I've not heard the cops driving Walter Payton home from the bar but our quarterback LOL.
