The most important part of that video is at the end, when Red says that Pete is this good because of HARD WORK. No matter how badass you think you are, if you are not 1000% dedicated to your craft and put in the long hours of practice.....when you run into someone like Pistol or Bird, you are gonna get embarrassed.
The Jazz were originally in New Orleans, the Lakers were originally in Minneapolis, The Clippers were once known as the Buffalo Braves. The team moved to San Diego and changed the name and eventually moved to Los Angeles. The Atlanta Hawks used to be in St Louis. The Hornets started in Charlotte, moved to New Orleans then they brought a new franchise to Charlotte and called it the Bobcats. The Bobcats got permission to go back to the Hornets name after New Orleans changed their name to the Pelicans. Also the Grizzlies used to be in Vancouver and the Kings used to be in Kansas City. Just in case this happens to come up in any if your videos.
Learned most of this from basketball the movie “the jazz moved to Utah where they don’t allow music, the lakers moved to Los Angeles where there are no lakes” 🤣
Before the Kings were in Kansas City, they were the Cincinnati Royals (1957-1972), and before that they were the Rochester Royals ( 1945-1957) I was born in ‘66 , so my first professional basketball team I remember watching was the Cincinnati Royals.
He actually did that move a few times in the NBA where he bounced between his legs and grabbed from the back, then spun the ball back around all while running forward when a defender tried to steal from him. Even Magic Johnson said "where do you think I learned those tricks from?"
Pete & Bird ate, drank, & slept basketball. Magic on the other hand had La spot light. He ate & slept basketball. He drank La. I think Bird is still GOAT
Pistol Pete was my basketball idol when I was a kid. I bought his rare DVD of drills and my son REFUSED TO WATCH IT! He’s about 40 years old now. Was probably 10 at the time. 😂
I did similar drills as a kid and still do .They really improve your dribbling from the fast twitching for sure try them every day if you want lighting fast hands . Also it will get you mad steals
Those were the drills that made him the basketball wizard he was can you imagine if some of the great young talent we have today were to master Pete’s drills one can only imagine the Discipline and ball handling skills they would have…there are a few more videos out there showing more of his drills
Makes one wonder why any coach wouldn't have their team practicing / watching Pistol & Bird ball ethics. If I was a coach, My guys on the floor practicing would be Bird 1 Bird 2 Bird 3 Bird 4 Bird 5. Reality check though. Most people don't have the mental capacity to see into the souls of those they should base their game on. One could imitate, but not know what they're doing.
Pete Maravich was the best ballhandler the NCAA and NBA ever saw in their histories. No one was better, not then and not now. He was literally a magician and created what we now know as "Showtime Basketball".
I watched Pistol at the Superdome play... I'm from New Orleans. He was unreal. He averaged 45 points per game in college...no 3 point line or shot clock.....and in the NBA I saw his 68 point game vs. the Knicks live. You can still find that game.....and review it if you would.....again....no 3 point line. He was a showman......way ahead of his time. Not much tv coverage back then so a lot of people never really saw his greatness. Pistol died at only 40 years old
What youre seeing here is a man with a true love for the game spending hours and hours doing the HARD WORK. He was amazing on the court but what nobody knew at the time until he died was Pete Maravich was born without a left coronary artery to his heart, most people have a left and a right but Pete was born without a left coronary artery, somehow this was never detected during his life and he still played at an amazing level RIP PETE MARAVICH
These are drills to develop hand and wrist speed, accuracy, muscle memory and control - and you only get the degree of these qualities he had by relentless practice and hard work, and unless you REALLY love the game most wont do this much work especially at the younger ages. Pete was one of the most focuses athletes and players ever seen.
His father, Press Maravich, started training him almost from the crib. Most of those drills he created himself, and most of the time he spent was voluntary. His father coached him, as the head coach, all the way through high school and college and was an assistant coach for some portion of his pro career. He literally had a ball in his hands all his waking hours. As a matter of fact, he died on a basketball court.
Check out Mac McClung too! He’s in the Dunk Contest this year! Check out video ‘NBA Dunk Contest Participant Mac McClung’ would like to see that reaction. You guys like dunkers
Pete ( I believe had OCD ) as he relentlessly pursued the anatomical, nervous system limits with a basketball. He came up with these drills out of curiosity as to what the limits were. He was obsessed. He was incredible. No one before him or since could touch the man. In fact if you REALLY want to see how superhuman he was, find the videos he made of all of his drills titled "HOMEWORK BASKETBALL" It will melt your brain. He was not from this planet.
The New Orleans Jazz was the first NBA team in that city. They moved to Utah in 1979 and Pete Maravich was traded to the Boston Celtics were he teamed up with Rookie Larry Bird. This was the first year the NBA implemented the 3 point shot. The Pistol shot 67% from the 3.. Also that was the year both Larry Bird and Magic Johnson came into the league as rookies. Bird and Magic college teams (Michigan State and Indiana State) played against each other in the National College Champion Game which Magic team Michigan State won. I hear so many youtubers ask what is the ABA (American Basketball Association), this was the only league that Players like Dr J, Artis Gilmore (7' 2"), George Gervin (The Iceman) and 30 other players were all stars in college who all came out early and were forced to sign contracts with the ABA. The NBA rules prevented college students from entering their league before their class graduated. In addition the ABA had the 3 line 10 years before the NBA installed it in their league. The two leagues merged in 1976 and accepted 4 ABA teams to the NBA (the Denver Nuggets, the Indiana Pacers, the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Nets ( now the Brooklyn Nets). It's kind of said that you guys didn't do any research prior to posting videos. Anyway i like you guys passion for sports, so feel free to ask questions from your channel. Thanks and Peace Out
Once heard Pistol say that everyday to school he bounced a baskerball out of the car window as his father was driving. You have to have insane hand eye coordination to keep up and not loose the ball.
New Orleans is the birthplace of Jazz, hence the Jazz. Red Aurbach was the Coach and GM of the Celtics in their glory days. First man to start five black players and first to hire a Black Head Coach. I used to do the knee clap drill every day.Just takes some practice...
I’m sure somebody else already said it but that is Red Aeurbach who coach and the prez of Celtics. He is the one who drafted Bird when he was a Jr knowing Bird was gonna stay his sr year.
Pistol Pete played three seasons at Louisiana state for his father where he averaged 44 points a game and there was no 3-point shot people who studied his film in college said with a 3-point shot he would average probably in the mid-50s
I heard as a kid he used to dribble down the road while riding in the car. Ps Jason Williams needs to do a video showing us the drills he used to do in high school
Pete had 3,667 points 44.2 points per game in college without a three point line. He was a phenom as a kid. His dad was head coach at North Carolina State and he had nine year old Pete play each recruit and if they could get close to beating him his dad would offer them a scholarship. No one beat pete.
He lived with a basketball in his hand from birth. His father was his coach at every level through college, and I don't remember if he didn't work as an assistant coach in Atlanta, where he was first drafted.
Pete has his own ball handling instructional video with all these drills in it. Just search Pete Maravich ball handling. You can tell it’s from the 80’s. Heh.
And remember Pete did all this great stuff with a bad heart that he didn't know he had. He retired because of his bad knees and died at age 40 from his bad heart.
There's no Jazz in Salt Lake City, Utah. Jazz music is New Orleans. the team moved. South Park creators made jokes about team moves in the beginning of the movie called Baseketball
Man, y’all young bucks kill me.😂 Y’all shocked that the Jazz originally played in a city known for jazz music? Mormons probably still think jazz music came from the devil, so it was an obvious relocation. Good vid though.
Red Auerbach coach of Celtics also GM and team prez after coaching career ended he was talking to Pete as a coach , Pete played for Celtics too his last so he is dealing with Auerbach that's his coach or GM

All these guys were the same, getting their 10 000 hours of practice in. Like the old famous quote goes. They were lucky and found their passion young.
Jazz music is so Louisiana. Proto Jazz is not Joseph Smith and the Mormons. Take a moment and think. Deductive reasoning goes far. Great reactions guys.
Yeah, right, 'cause Utah is known for it's swingin' vibe, open attitude to all comers, and Utah is especially known for its jazz music. New Orleans is nothing like that. "Jazz" and New Orleans are certainly mutually exclusive. HA ha ha ha HAAAAAA!
Jazz music originated in New Orleans. No hip music ever came out of effin UTAH! The Jr was Junior HIGH SCHOOL = Middle School today! Not his Junior year
Utah Jazz is an oxymoron. The owners kept the name when they move the team from New Orleans because they were too cheap to buy new uniforms. Jazz doesn’t have a damn thing to do with the mormon state. Such an ill fitting team name for that city and state.
Are you serious? How do you think they got the name "JAZZ"? New Orleans is all about jazz. What's jazzy about Utah?? Lmao. Drills like Pete's are the reason why I know for a fact that the top players of the past could hold their own. The fact that both of you never seen drills like this is proof. And stop talking over the dialogue. You miss important stuff.
Yeah, New Orleans Jazz. Jazz was started there. The name belongs to New Orleans. Why Utah got to keep that name is a travesty. Not a shred of Jazz in Utah. They moved to Utah in 1979 and kept the name. I wish they would give the name back and call themselves the Utah Mormons or Salt Flats.

Straight up in a nutshell~!
The Jazz were originally in New Orleans, the Lakers were originally in Minneapolis, The Clippers were once known as the Buffalo Braves. The team moved to San Diego and changed the name and eventually moved to Los Angeles. The Atlanta Hawks used to be in St Louis. The Hornets started in Charlotte, moved to New Orleans then they brought a new franchise to Charlotte and called it the Bobcats. The Bobcats got permission to go back to the Hornets name after New Orleans changed their name to the Pelicans. Also the Grizzlies used to be in Vancouver and the Kings used to be in Kansas City. Just in case this happens to come up in any if your videos.
Learned most of this from basketball the movie “the jazz moved to Utah where they don’t allow music, the lakers moved to Los Angeles where there are no lakes” 🤣
Chicago Bulls were called the "Packers" way back...
I will take it to my grave that Jazz belongs to New Orleans and Utah should get a name that actually fits the area.
Before the Kings were in Kansas City, they were the Cincinnati Royals (1957-1972), and before that they were the Rochester Royals ( 1945-1957)
I was born in ‘66 , so my first professional basketball team I remember watching was the Cincinnati Royals.
@@imweakfordeaky didn’t they have Oscar Robertson?
He actually did that move a few times in the NBA where he bounced between his legs and grabbed from the back, then spun the ball back around all while running forward when a defender tried to steal from him. Even Magic Johnson said "where do you think I learned those tricks from?"
We need a video of you fellas trying these drills.
Bet thats a good idea
Pete devoted his life to basketball in a way most people can't comprehend. He was a true master of his craft. Legend.
Pete & Bird ate, drank, & slept basketball. Magic on the other hand had La spot light. He ate & slept basketball. He drank La.
I think Bird is still GOAT
Pistol Pete was my basketball idol when I was a kid. I bought his rare DVD of drills and my son REFUSED TO WATCH IT! He’s about 40 years old now. Was probably 10 at the time. 😂

Red Auerbach was coach x G.M for more NBA Champs than anyone.
Pete Maravich was the best ballhandler the NCAA and NBA ever saw in their histories. No one was better, not then and not now. He was literally a magician and created what we now know as "Showtime Basketball".
And all the while no 'palming' aka 'carrying' either, lol
Used to watch him play when I lived in Atlanta. Amazing
Pistol was doing magic tricks on the court, even during practice LOL.
That’s crazy 😭
BACK IN THE 80S IN HIGH SCHOOL WE USE TO DO THESE DRILLS EVERY PRACTICE AT THE END WHEN WE WERE TIRED
Did it hurt and were they tough
I watched Pistol at the Superdome play... I'm from New Orleans. He was unreal.

You need to watch the “homework basketball” series by Pistol Pete where he shows a whole bunch more of his ball handling and passing drills.
These were Pete's drills to improve dexterity, balance, skill, and awareness. I wonder how many current NBA players can do this?
The New Orleans Jazz was the first NBA team in that city. They moved to Utah in 1979 and Pete Maravich was traded to the Boston Celtics were he teamed up with Rookie Larry Bird.

They're supposed to research the entire history of the NBA to react to a Pistol Pete practice drills video?
Pistol Pete was so ahead of his time
Legend has it that Pete used to dribble the ball outside of the cat while being inside while his father was driving
Once heard Pistol say that everyday to school he bounced a baskerball out of the car window as his father was driving. You have to have insane hand eye coordination to keep up and not loose the ball.
New Orleans is the birthplace of Jazz, hence the Jazz. Red Aurbach was the Coach and GM of the Celtics in their glory days. First man to start five black players and first to hire a Black Head Coach. I used to do the knee clap drill every day.Just takes some practice...

He has a whole set of training videos called homework basketball which he goes over all these and more passing, shooting, dribbling
Pistol Pete played three seasons at Louisiana state for his father where he averaged 44 points a game and there was no 3-point shot people who studied his film in college said with a 3-point shot he would average probably in the mid-50s
I used to do these drills when I was little from a similar old school vhs tape I had
2:07 There are no lakes in LA and there ain't much Jazz in Utah.
What's up fellas that gentleman in the green his name is Red Auerbach he coached the Boston Celtics 8 straight NBA championships
The Jazz started playing first in New Orleans before they ever move to Utah
This is how Jazz got their name,from being in the city of New Orleans which jazz music got its foundation
Jazz was came out of New Orleans, so did the basketball team.
They actually did a series where Pistol Pete would play other players in a game of horse….. definitely worth watching some of the most craziest shots
Fun facts: Jazz music is synonymous with New Orleans. Thus the Name
A bunch of lakes in Minnesota, Thus Minneapolis Lakers.
I heard as a kid he used to dribble down the road while riding in the car.
Ps Jason Williams needs to do a video showing us the drills he used to do in high school
Pete had 3,667 points 44.2 points per game in college without a three point line. He was a phenom as a kid. His dad was head coach at North Carolina State and he had nine year old Pete play each recruit and if they could get close to beating him his dad would offer them a scholarship. No one beat pete.

And remember Pete did all this great stuff with a bad heart that he didn't know he had. He retired because of his bad knees and died at age 40 from his bad heart.
His personal drills remind me of Bruce Lee coming up with impossible challenges.
There's no Jazz in Salt Lake City, Utah. Jazz music is New Orleans. the team moved. South Park creators made jokes about team moves in the beginning of the movie called Baseketball
Man, y’all young bucks kill me.😂 Y’all shocked that the Jazz originally played in a city known for jazz music? Mormons probably still think jazz music came from the devil, so it was an obvious relocation. Good vid though.
The most talented basketball player in history.
On February 25, 1977 Pete scored 68 points against the New York Knicks.
Watch the one on dribbling now.
I would say that Pistol Pete's greatest influence was his father who was a college basketball coach head coach at Louisiana state
Fundamentals. If you master those, the rest is easy.
Red Auerbach coach of Celtics also GM and team prez after coaching career ended he was talking to Pete as a coach , Pete played for Celtics too his last so he is dealing with Auerbach that's his coach or GM
New Orleans is known for its jazz
KI & JDOT,

Lol…hell I grew about 6 inches between 6th and 7th grade. Sadly my growing was done. C in 7th, Fin 8th, and a G in HS
React to "How good was Pistol pete maravich really ?"
Bet
All these guys were the same, getting their 10 000 hours of practice in. Like the old famous quote goes.
They were lucky and found their passion young.
Jazz music is so Louisiana. Proto Jazz is not Joseph Smith and the Mormons. Take a moment and think. Deductive reasoning goes far. Great reactions guys.
Pete was during these drills when he was 5 years old.
You need to watch the movie
Originally New Orleans Jazz moved to Utah.
Yeah, right, 'cause Utah is known for it's swingin' vibe, open attitude to all comers, and Utah is especially known for its jazz music. New Orleans is nothing like that. "Jazz" and New Orleans are certainly mutually exclusive. HA ha ha ha HAAAAAA!
If Red Auerbach told you to hold up, you held up. Get to work guys.
His PPG for his college career is 44.2 ppg. It's still the record.
Jazz music originated in New Orleans. No hip music ever came out of effin UTAH!
The Jr was Junior HIGH SCHOOL = Middle School today! Not his Junior year
Jazz in 70's in NOLA
THE GORST DRILL ..1ST PACE😳
2ND PACE A🥴🤢
Just think about it, what does Utah have to do with jazz music?
The franchise was moved from the jazz capitol of the world.
You never found it odd that Utah. A state with no jazz culture had the name jazz. That’s the reason for the name. New Orleans IS JAZZ lol
Too bad Pistol Pete's Knees were already destroyed when Maravisch and Bird were teammates on the celtics during birds rookie year.
but he has to toss it way up behind him and catch it ???
At age 12 he was practicing 10 hours a day
Dude, jazz music originated in New Orleans. Of course the Jazz originated in New Orleans.
Of course the Jazz were originally from New Orleans...
I think music is illegal in Utah.
He just said his dad taught him........bruh
Jazz music got its start in New Orleans so, . . .
At 9 and 10 He used to practice 10hrs. a day.
People think that stuff is easy. Try it lol
😂 why do you think they are called “Jazz”
Why wouldn't the Jazz be in New Orleans. What the hell does Utah have to do with Jazz? They should have changed the name 40 years ago.
Utah Jazz is an oxymoron. The owners kept the name when they move the team from New Orleans because they were too cheap to buy new uniforms. Jazz doesn’t have a damn thing to do with the mormon state. Such an ill fitting team name for that city and state.
Everyone knows Utah is known for Jazz music. It wouldn't make sense for New Orleans. New Orleans only has country music.
His grammar be good too.
Devon Stokes has it right
Where do you think the home of Jazz is? That's right New Orleans created The Jazz...of course!
WHY are you amazed that a team may have relocated????????? It's happened many times in sports history. MANY times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you serious? How do you think they got the name "JAZZ"? New Orleans is all about jazz. What's jazzy about Utah?? Lmao.
Drills like Pete's are the reason why I know for a fact that the top players of the past could hold their own. The fact that both of you never seen drills like this is proof.

You guys are doing a great job! Watch Ultimate COLLEGE Pistol Pete Maravich LSU Mix if you want to see how great Pistol was in college!
Appreciate that fr thank you🙏🏾but we did its on the recent vids
His dad was his high school coach, he made him do those drills.
Actually his dad was his college coach.
