Pete was great and unbelievable and so were you big Red! 🥲

RIP Mr. Walton. You were a helluva player. He absolutely loved Pistol. These guys played in an era where basketball was worth watching. Anyone who never got to see Pistol you should watch all the video highlights. Absolutely amazing

RIP Mr Walton! Hope that Pete was one of those to greet you in Heaven!

Rip bill walton

What an amazing testimony from a man who was truly changed by the saving Grace of Jesus Christ. I've never heard anyone, but Pistol Pete, say "peer pressure is 'simply' a choice," "money will pay your fare to everywhere, but Heaven" and "in the name of religion Jesus Christ was placed upon that Cross."

Pete maravich had all the tools but he wasn't physically strong enough for the nba of the 70s but he had hops

Pete was the blueprint. ❤

Pistol Pete A Legend that nobody gives props to

I love his double-pump one-handed bank shot.

Dude had a full time job since 12 years old, his job was to play with the basketball

NCAA scoring leader from 1970 until 2024 when Kaitlyn Clark surpassed him. There was not a 3 pt. line in 1970 and his range was legendary.

Jokingly on the court, we used to call some of those 4 pointers.

Ok... Dale Brown..." If there were 3"s back then, he would've averaged 57 points a game." ( not 44.2)( he said this after the films).

Thank you!

This brings back some great memories of growing up following the NBA on tv and radio.

(3:04) okay, this song is great and great to dance to.

I went to summer basketball camp with Pete twice. What an adventure. I also just noticed his college jersey number was 23. That I did not remember. Also remember his scoring record was before the 3 point line and consisted of 3 years on varsity by the rules. Caitlin just broke his record of total points in 4 years with a 3 point line. Pete averaged 44.5 points per game. His shots have since been charted and with the 3 point rule he would have averaged over 57 per game. As good as the players are today with the 3 point line I haven’t heard of anyone putting up 57 per game. And I say that as a big admirer of Caitlin Clark.

pistol pete is my goat

These are the boys dude.

Pete did things with the ball that NO ONE else was doing at the time. Talk about having the ball on a string...

Amen he was my favorite player of all time too

One of the greatest moves I ever saw was at.midcourt one defender in.his path and did a complete 360 degree spin and eft the guy.in.the dust. He was indeed a pearl among point guards.

Imagine....Pistol Pete put those kinds of number up back in the era before both the 3-point shot and freshman eligibility. Also, when Pete played travelling and carrying the ball were strictly called. One and a half steps meant one and a half steps, where today, the refs allow anything up to and including 4 1/2 steps, as anybody watching a Lakers game will attest to. And, if you touched anything but the top of the ball while dribbling, you were called for a turnover. (Again, watch this video, and then the highlights from a Lakers game for comparison.)

My mom was in home room with him (Broughton HS, Raleigh, NC).

9:58. If you take a shot at the buzzer up 16 in today's game, they fight you.

Imagine if he took advantage of carrying. Oh my god. But they don't enforce that anymore so any clown these days can look good.

They played real basketball then. They actually dibbled the ball. No palming or carrying the ball. Piston averaged 44 points a game. Imagine if there had been a three point line then. He could burn it from center court. His 60 point games would had been 75 point games.

So glad that Pete got this out when he did. ANother year and it would not have been.

This man pulled so much crazy stuff the refs would call fouls ON HIS PASSES! Just because they had never seen anything like it and assumed it was against the rules somehow

He did some things on the court before anyone else and was under appreciated later by NBA announcers when more modern players were copying him.

Pete brought me to Christ

If ball players today couldn’t carry the ball they would be in a mess.

Awful music.

His moves were so instinctively great that you couldn’t even Bite them if you tried. Pure joyous emotion.

He is still the Division 1 all time leading scorer in college basketball, among other records😮.

The older I get the more amazing it becomes to me what he meant to basketball and how advanced he was. The game needed to catch up to Pete. Bravo Pete Rest Easy Brother!

Notice how there Wasn’t a 3point arc!

69 points against Bama in a loss. Before the three point line. Amazing!

GOAT

RIP PISTOL PETE 🔫 stop mentioning that female in the same convo as him!

Imagine the career he could’ve had if he hadn’t gotten all those injuries…….?

Amazing smooth operator- always in control while dribbling and shooting. One of the greats for sure- such a pure shot

Imagine white people and black people respecting one another.What a wonderful world.
