      Pistol Pete is one of those players that just about every modern day guard uses some type of move he did first (if not first then first to do it exceptionally well) be it a dribble a unique pass whatever you want. A big innovator for guards in an Era where then big men were praised

Only averaged 6 career in college and pros. The teams needed 35 or more points from Pete to have a chance. If he had another top scorer and focused on assists he would be a 10+

    Pistol averaged 24.2 ppg in his ten year career, and he played without a 3pt line.

And remember these passes were taken from a limited selection; many on this list would never be there if we had access to more film. Have you ever seen anyone throw an "in front of their body pass" that goes to the player cutting on the opposite side? This is available on youtube but was not included on this list...Nobody today passes like the Pistol could pass...nobody...
