My dad and I had tickets to a Blazer game back in the 70s and we got there early to watch the workouts. Pete bounced a ball our way and we passed it back to him. He said thanks and came over and talked to us for over 10 minutes about everything except basketball. Just about Portland and life in general. He made us fans for life. Good man!

Wow. He was my boyhood basketball idol. I had never seen the things he was doing with such uncanny accuracy and smooth as silk. He led a very troubled emotional life. He had fame, he had fortune, but he was a tortured soul. He found purpose at the end of his life and that makes me smile.

I was working as a sports writer in Tampa Bay at the time. Maravich ran a summer basketball camp at Clearwater Christian College. I was assigned to go interview him. I ended spending the day with him. We ate lunch together. He was concerned that I got everything I needed. He was a thoughtful and caring soul, and the kids all looked up to him. He died five months later. I had no idea he had the heart defect. So young and so tragic.

As a kid playing basketball, my heroes were Pistol Pete and Doctor J because they did stuff that no one else could do, and did it with that certain indescribable style that the great ones seem to have. I saw Pistol Pete make a pass against the Bullets that I’ll never forget - he had just crossed half court with the ball and from the angle of my seat, he was between me and the other players near the basket at the far end of the floor. He ‘s dribbling, then flips the ball to his left hand and rifles a pass thru that crowd of guys to a teammate under the basket for a layup. I don’t know how he even saw that guy! It was just a moment in a game that you would have missed if you didn’t happen to be looking, but I was hooked on hoops for life. Like most other kids then I wore floppy socks with my Chuck Taylors and then my Adidas when I played. :)

Pete looked good in that Jazz uni sporting a mustache and beard. His story sounds like my ex-boss in the 1970s - always searching for answers, house full of books about philosophy & such, and he and his wife were near the end of their marriage, though she prayed for him every moment - then he had a Damascus experience - just like Pete. He ministered for 40 years after that and retired - but retirement didn't sit well with him, so he's often in the mission field, helping establish leaders and seminaries in far off places. God can take a rebel and change him quicker than you can snap your fingers. This was a great interview.

Great interview here. Pete speaks about Larry Bird saying he's not the best shooter while also saying he's the best in the game right now. Watching Bird win all those 3 pt contests combined with his ability to score with either hand as well as the way he always put the ball through the hoop at the end of the game for the win after telling whoever was guarding him exactly where he was going to shoot the shot. If he wasn't the best shooter I'd like to know who was. Now that I think about it this interview was most likely done before Larry really came into his own so Pete could be correct here. Also at 9:45 Pete drives to the basket and fakes a behind the back pass while running full on to the basket. Poetry in motion. He makes the shot and guess who I see playing defense against him. None other than Wilt Chamberlain who without a doubt is the greatest basketball player of all time.

I just watched the game where Pete scored 68 on the Knicks in 77'. Riley may have observed something , but , on that night in New Orleans the pistol was passing, rebounding and playing excellent defense. Just ask Phil Jackson & Bill Bradley. This dude was playing jazz, on the basketball court, for the Jazz, in the brand new Superdome. He punctuated the equilibrium of the game more than his father could ever have imagined. They wanted to make the game more exciting, they succeeded. Pat Riley benefitted by accepting the new reality that "flow" was inevitable and that trying to stop it with New York style defensive "muggings" was detrimental to the game and part of that "boring" era 10 years earlier that Pete spoke about.

My All time Hero. I can still do all of his ball spinning tricks and the kids love to see them wherever I go to referee at age 66. As for Pat RIley (averaged 10 min. and 5 pts. a game) who will be remembered more in the future, him or The Pistol? End of story.

The clip at 6:15 showing Celtics #44 is erroneously used in this Maravich doc. That clip is from at least 5 years before Maravich donned Celtic green. Nice that ESPN put Paul Westphal #44 (dishing to Steve Kuberski for the lay in) into the Maravich action clips. Somebody stopped paying attention at ESPN?

Hmni Kadoza Steph can’t handle the ball like Pistol, not many can. He’d be worth a lot, probably average 20 /10/5 per game,

@@deboisblanc Why cant Pete handle the ball like Steph? Just as creative. Just as much control. Pete, Irving, Iverson, Steph and Tim have the best handles in NBA history. Isiah, Magic, Lebron, Nash, and Kidd are the next 5 IMO.

@Alex Carushow The most underrated aspect of Lebrons game is his ball handling. Hes ambidextrous, handles the ball like a point guard, has a full complement of counters and doubles. Please put some respect on how SKILLED Lebron is. Dismissing him as simply an athletic marvel is a disservice to the number of techniques hes acquired over 17 years in the league, now averaging his most assists a game.
