Pete was arguably the most skilled player of all time. I know people may mention names like Steph Curry, Kobe Bryant, or even Kyrie Irving but Pete was doing things in the NBA that only the Globetrotters would even think of but he was doing it at an all-NBA level. In terms of scoring what he was to the '70s as a guard was what Kobe was to the 2000s and he was the chief wizard of the NBA after Cousy and before Magic. If you add in his ball-handling ability and ability to finish with both hands at the rim, he was just the perfect offensive weapon. In today's game I'd say Lamelo Ball reminds me of Pete the most but we don't know if he's going to be a 24ppg level scorer. Pete nonetheless besides Jordan is the first player I'd buy tickets to watch! LOL
The thing I value the most about Pete is his pure creativity and originality. I mean it's one thing to be amazingly good at something that was already invented and established, and it's certainly important to measure how good you are at that specific thing when determining impact (that's how we establish and debate how good a basketball player is); but it's a whole different thing to create completely new stuff out of thin air. Things that were not seen or even imagined before. That's admirable from a strictly artistic point of view. I'm not talking about impact on a 5x5 professional basketball game because that's a different story. I'm just talking about appreciating the pure creative power of certain human beings. Maravich was certainly one of those rare and gifted beings in the realm of sports.
I had no idea that Pete passed away when I was only 9 years old I started out playing because my dad played and I was a country kid we moved it a small town her in the fourth grade and I was lucky enough to be the neighbor of somebody with the love for the game and he seemed that I had a natural shot he was an older kid he worked with me and showed me the drills I didn't know that people marriage did them all I know is that I wanted to play it in the NBA and on the street that was my NBA being a point guard under his dribble pass everything repetition you practice everything you do over and over and over and you love to do it rain sleep no hell extreme conditions all pressure coordination and it's a regular game he was later after he taught me chanics of shooting the mechanics if you're playing passing it came natural to me and I'll answer my playing days wherever give me a video on DVD the pistol and he gave me the greatest couple of month I didn't see him until I got home he said this reminds me of you playing on the street not the other way around I got home and I thought oh my god did he just say it marriage reminds him of me playing on the street pistol Pete was amazing and still is always will be

Nah Kobe had better defense and better dunks and jumps. But in passing and playmaking, I like more Pete
Great compilation! Thanks
He practiced 8 hours a day in summer and 4 in the winter and it shows
Thanks for your hard work on making this compilation it looks great!!
Thanks for the support, man.
That pass at 14:08 is the most underrated highlight reel pass ever!
It's amazing. It's the same one Pete explains how to execute in those tutorial series with Red Auerbach.
The Best. No Question. Period.
I've still never seen anyone pull off the pass he makes at 14:09. Arms go left, ball goes right.
Jugador más infravalorado de la historia de la NBA
Uno de ellos, sin duda. Diría que prácticamente todas las leyendas que brillaron en los setenta han sufrido similar destino.
Nice!
He was just way too ahead of time for his teammates to catch up.
The best basketball player we are not talking championship we are saying player

Better handles than Kyrie
The best basketball player ever as far as just looking at what they could do on a basketball court and not wins and other stats
Everyone days Jordan =goat but seriously pete & wilt are the greatest of all time at a different level altogether
Russell the greatest team player if all times
Better than I thought, but not so fast my friends. I'll still give a very slight nod to Larry Bird.
