THIS HOW GOOD WAS PISTOL PETE MARAVICH IS FOR FANS OF PISTOL PETE MARAVICH REACTION,PETE MARAVICH REACTION OR PISTOL PETE REACTION ON RICHHOUSEREVIEWS NBA. I HAVE DONE LARRY BIRD REACTION,HOW GOOD WAS PETE MARAVICH REACTION OR HOW GOOD WAS PETE MARAVICH REALLY REACTION.
Greatest ball handler of all time hands down end of story. The PISTOL!!
Pete put up those collegiate numbers when there was not only no 3-point line, but when hand checking was allowed, and also there was no shot clock. All of these contributed to fewer shots for Pete. Also, the hypothetical case for what he could have scored with a 3-point line leaves out the fact that when fouled attempting those shots, he would have received 3 free throws, which would only add to his total. When he played in the NBA, not only was there no 3-pont line for most of his career, but hand checking was allowed, which greatly affected Pete because of his style of play. If allowed to roam free, he could have been even more amazing.
89 college games and averaged 38 fga and 14 fta per game. 16.7fgm and 11ftm should have averaged more then he did then. 21 misses per game thats a lot!
What other vids do you suggest?
There is one called "Seven Stories that Prove Pete Maravich was not Human." Similar to this one but even more authoritative and entertaining.
The problem with Pistol is he was born 50 years before his time. If he played in todays game with all the lax ball handling rules, the three point line, wide open spacing, no hand checking....he'd be doing things we ain't never seen before while averaging 37 a game and his jersey would be the #1 best seller in the world. When you get the opportunity, please react to his ridiculous 68 point game. RIP Pistol Pete.....Gone way too soon.
Pete was like a cheat code.
Precious few clips left of Pete! Imagine all we have lost
He was a hero to any kid playing basketball then.
I’m in Athens Ga n one game against UGA, he played keep away for over a minute at the end of the game. Then from half court corner swished a half court shot to end the game. OUR fans rushed the court hoisting him on their shoulders!!! Who else has had that?!
The creative/entertaining modern NBA play is Pete’s legacy.
If he was drafted by the Lakers, Celtics or Knicks he would be in the conversation for best player ever.
One of the greatest ballers of all time. RIP
Nobody will ever equal Pistol Pete's collegiate accomplishments because he achieved it without the three-pointer. And for you young people who do not know, in pistol Pete's last season in the NBA, the three-point line was introduced, and Pete shot 66.7 on his three-pointer attempts while playing on one leg with a bad back and not being able to do physically what he used to be before the injuries, so imagine what pistol Pete would have done if he had played healthy with a three-point line in the NBA; it would have been terrifying because pistol Pete was very athletic and elusive and it's one of the best guards ever when it came to playing underneath the rim and scoring because he had a lot of low post moves as well and was a great finisher.
He did all this while MISSING an artery in his heart. Crazy
I got to see him play March 6,1976 in the Super Dome against the Boston Celtics that had Dave Cowens and Tiny Archibald. I was living at the time between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. LSU sponsored a traveling basketball camp called the LSU Tigers mighty mites. Pistol Pete had taught them basketball drills, and they would travel around to smaller towns to teach us. I used one drill to I was an adult. The behind the back pass to yourself off of the wall. He was one of my all-time favorites.
Pistol Pete was truly a legend and a court Wizard, growin up in the 70's he and Dr. J were the top guys, along with Kareem, redefined their positions...R.I.P. Pistol..
Yeah, in high school in the 70's everyone wanted to be Pistol. Guys would wear the same kind of socks, shoes and hair style. We would practice the ball handling and try to make the long range jumpers. His passing skills were God like and we all looked like fools trying to imitate them. Of course there was no way you would ever try any of his moves in an organized practice or game, unless you wanted to spend the rest of your life running laps. You saw the NCAA scoring records but what made him special was the way he could control the ball and at a time when your hand had to be on top of the ball. He was the Original Showtime, which is what they called warm ups before the game when he was in college because he would put on a display of ball handling. Pete wasn't only 40 years ahead of his time, he was 40 years ahead of most of his team mates. The only other player I can think of at that time who played his style was Dr. J and when they played together on all-star teams it was magic.
Those Knicks teams were great they won 2 titles and played great D.
You really have to watch videos of him with the ball. Unbelievable ball handler and passer. Love Bird, Kobe, Lebron, Magic, etc., but NOBODY was as exciting as The Pistol.
I’m interested in more do you recommend any?
Know any videos to watch on it?
RIP Legend. G'O'A"T.' ....... 1984.....Campball Univ Basketball Camp. l watch him shot and talk for an HOUR. He missed 2. 2...! (2 kids rebounding for him.....) He missed 2 shots..... in and Hour. Truth to my Grave.
You should react to pistol Pete 68 point game or his college highlights. Great reaction.
First time watching him
I LEARNED ALOT
Thanks for posting this, I was just as eager to watch it as you. All I heard growing up was the legend of Pistol Pete and never saw any extensive footage.
Never knew he was on birds rookie team lol
Crazy he executed those plays back then. People get benched and fired for that, especially back in those days.
The game today is more evolved cause guy like this.
Pioneer for real.
It'd be like Tyler Hero or Austin Reaves or Jason Williams just making crazy plays all game long. Had all the people in gym going bananas.🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was born and raised in New Orleans.
Saw Pete twice in the Superdome when he played for the New Orleans Jazz.
He made opposing defenders look foolish!
Absolutely incredible!
I saw Pete play against the Lakers in the old LA Forum when he was with the Hawks. On one fast break, he was in the middle of a three on two. In full stride, he passed the ball behind his back to the left and the guy made an easy layup. The next fast break, the defender expected Pete to pass behind his back again, so he cheated to Pete's left to pick off the pass. Pete faked the behind the back pass, suckered the defender and held the ball and went in for an easy layup. That's one of the plays that is in this video. It was a different era and the NBA played a different game back then, but Pete was one of the best of his time. College basketball and the NBA were not on TV very much in those days. So most people didn't get to see Pete play. If there was TV coverage like today, he would have been internationally famous.
Watch his 68 point game against the Knicks......you get a taste of his overall game
It seems the basketball fans are the true winners of Pistols legacy. His moves are all over the game now, he probably had the biggest impact on the game from an evolutionary standpoint.
Still holds the NCAA scoring record today.
I DIDNT KNOW THAT TILL NOW WOW
@@richhousereviews He also only played for three years in college because freshmen were not allowed to play varsity basketball.
I was at the game when Pete scored 68 against the Knicks.
If the 3 point line was in effect he probably would've had 83 or so.
My dad and uncles would tell me stories about seeing him play. Wish I could have been around then to see Pistol.
When Bird was ask what he thought about The Pistol Larry said..."Pete was the best shooter and ball handler I ever saw"...
We went to every one of his games at LSU.
Calvin Murphy came close to Pete’s collegiate average. Murphy averaged in the 40’s as well.
Murphy was indeed a great player.
Calvin averaged 33.1 in college. 38.2 tops. Still great
Big Pistol Pete fan. Nasty! Props to Larry Bird.
Can anyone who saw Pete play...CClark looks like him playing, Reincarnated ??!!
I read that he would be late for dinner and his father found him playing P/u with the local black kids.....
If the 3 point shot was there when he was there i can only imagine how high he would have got. Pete is in my top 10.
greatest ball handler ever
I knew you'd say to forget the comparison. . .Because you don't want to admit the truth. . .Pete was awesome WITHOUT a 3-point line. . .In today's game he'd have nothing to fear with Curry, Pete would be right there with or better than him. Bet that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw Pistol Pete Maravich destroy my beloved Knicks that crazy day... scoring 68 points... and this was before the three point shot rule was introduced in the NBA (ABA was the first)! Fellow teammates like Lou Hudson were clearly jealous of him... now go enjoy the show youngsters!!!!!!!
He fouled out of that game on a bad offensive foul call with a couple of minutes left or he may have gone into the 70’s.
NEED to see the college mixtape. He cooks entire squads in a single play
There are some clips of Pete displaying dribbling drills that he did, with Red Auerbach(i think i spelled that right haha) it's insane how fast his hands are and the stuff he would do with the ball. you should check those out :D
I always have Pete in my starting FIVE of all time.. I would put him and MJ in the backcourt...Imagine those two in their prime?... Also, in my opinion, the greatest two monikers in the NBA is ' Pistol Pete and 'Dr' J'..
Pistol shot 67% from 3 point land.......nuff said...insane
True, but it was only 10-15, so not much of a sample size. However, I'm not sure that makes it any less impressive, considering that it was as a part-timer in his last season, playing on one knee...
Thanks for the clarification.’was not aware that it was that small of a sample size. U are correct. However, when he was in college he probably would have averaged 60.
@@garycarfagno7910 Or even if he didn't average 60, he would definitely have *_scored_* 60 several times...
Nuff said 10 of 15 wow
I remember when LSU came to play at Tennessee (my school). UT Coach Ray Mears decided to let Pete score 65 points, but totally shutdown all the other players and came away with the wins against him.
Opinion: Maravich was the best ball handler ever. Kareem had the most unstoppable shot. Chamberlain was the most dominant player ever. We all know what Jordan could do. Bird's IQ was off the charts. Bill Russell, my favorite player, wrote the book on defense, was the only player with a higher IQ than Bird, and knew how to win championships, as he proved in high school, college, the Olympics and as a pro, as his 11 rings demonstrate. The Big O, the Logo, Magic, the list goes on. I think if Maravich could have somehow been influenced by Bill Russell's philosophy... his team concept, he might have won more games and possibly a championship. I think it would have been great if he had played with the Globetrotters for a year or two.
If u watch lamelo ball or Steve Nash, they play a lot like pistol playstyle wise. White chocolate as well.
Pete is who everyone copies. Sadly he never got picked up by a team that could play as a team. College all the good players went to Indiana, Kentucky, Duke, and the rest of the blue blood schools. In the NBA he played with individuals not teams. He never played on a championship team from high school to the NBA.
Pete was 6'5
Curry was 0-5 in 3pt.contest
Pistol is the GOAT !!!
We lost Pistol Pete at basically the same age as Kobe.
Yeah bro rip to two legends 🕊️
Pete used to dribble from moving car out the window driven by his dad
I grew up watching Maravich. There was NOBODY remotely like him. The limited highlights of him today don't tell a fraction of the story. He was SO far ahead of his time, basketball purists of his day did not take well to his style and that includes his own NBA teammates. Had he played with a real supporting cast, his NBA numbers would have been far better and if he played in an era like today with a 3 point line and the ability to carry/palm the ball without a whistle like today's ball-handlers, nobody could imagine what he would have been able to do.
Watch his LSU highlight package and remember, there was no 3 and no shot clock, so teams could slow the game and limit his possessions......plus there was no hand-check rule. If Pete played with the current rules package, in college his average would have been in the 60 points per game range and his NBA numbers would have been at least 35. Add to that he had EVERY pass in the book, especially since he wrote a lot of that book and was a scoring machine from all 3 levels. His moves were copied by everyone.
I might pull up the college highlights
@@richhousereviews Definitely worth a look.
he played with larry bird larry made him retire because of what bird said to him watch the story its funny
How many other players get to wear their nickname on a game jersey? lol
67% from 3 on a bum knee?! What?!
Never
He was better than Curry where you been I thought you knew your basketball ?
And why you scared to say he’s better than Curry ?
Hands down The Pistol is way better and much more clutch .
And had his School Yard nickname on the back of his jersey was epic back then too as a pro, now who else can you say did that ?
The Pistol …..RIP PETE !
