http://bookstore.mywebsportscenter.com/n_1581821484.htm

Extractions: "I Remember Pete Maravich" is a beautiful hardcover book that details the professional career and personal example of "Pistol Pete" Maravich. His amazing record and ball-handling tricks are just some of the stories recounted here by some of Maravich's closest acquaintances, including his friends, fellow basketball players, coaches, and relatives. Pete Maravich was unquestionably the most exciting and entertaining basketball player of his generation. A wizard at handling, passing, or shooting the ball and the most prolific scorer in college basketball history, "Pistol Pete" was as recognizable as he was flashy. If the mop of brown hair and floppy gray socks didn't identify him, the behind-the-back dribbling and between-the-legs passes would. Maravich captured the nation's attention while playing basketball for his father at Louisiana State University, averaging an incredible 44.2 points per game over three years and earning college player-of-the-year honors in 1970. Pistol Pete then played ten years in the NBA for the Atlanta Hawks, New orleans Jazz,, and Boston Celtics, winning All NBA First Team honors twice and Second Team honors two other times and finishing his pro career with a 24.2 average. Less than a year after being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987, Maravich collapsed while playing basketball with friends and died an hour later as doctors tried to revive him. He was only forty years old.

After a legendary college career at Louisiana State, he played 10 productive seasons in the NBA, earning five trips to the NBA All-Star Game and one league scoring title. Maravich led the NBA in scoring in 1977 with a personal high 31.1 ppg. Maravich wasn't the first player to dribble behind his back or make a deft between-the-legs pass. But his playground moves, circus shots, and hotdog passes were considered outrageous during his era and, perhaps because he cultivated a freewheeling image, some basketball purists felt he was more style than substance. But Maravich produced huge numbers, first as the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history and later as a potent force for both the Atlanta Hawks and the New Orleans Jazz. Maravich was born on June 22, 1947, in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Press Maravich, who had been a guard with the Youngstown Bears of the National Basketball League in 1945-46 and with the Pittsburgh Ironmen of the Basketball Association of America in 1946-47.

Extractions: The Pistol The Birth of a Legend is jam packed with action and drills to make you want to go outside and work until you die. It expresses that any man or woman on earth could do what ever he or she wants to do if they has confidence. Press Maravich, Pistol's dad, drives Pete to have confidence in what ever he wants to do and Pete will succeed. Pistol Pete takes his confidence and spreads it to everyone that surrounds him. Even though most of his teammates think he's a showboat by doing his behind the back passes as an 8th grader playing varsity basketball, Pistol lets that negativeness drive him to be someone better. Pistol led his team to the state championship losing it to Cleveland High. This is the best movie I have ever seen and would recommend this to anyone whether you like basketball or not.

Photo courtesy of LSU Not a swagger, just a good, solid sense of self, as is to be expected from a college junior who last month had a 41-point game. There was a time when the oldest of Maravich's two sons didn't seem able to shoulder the burden of his last name. His basketball odyssey has taken him to four colleges, and only now at tiny William Carey College of the NAIA has he found a comfort zone with who he is and also with what he lost. "A lot of people ask me why I'm quiet," says Maravich, 23. "I just miss my dad." Maravich was only 8 in 1988 when his father died of a heart attack at 39, after playing a pickup game.

Extractions: Other "Legends" Dr. J Howard Kelsey Old School Legend of the Month Each month, ebehoops.com will feature one of our favorite old school basketball legends. It could be a former NBA / ABA player, Canadian National Team or International star, a BC High School legend or that guy (or gal) down at the local community center / playground who maybe never made it big but had an o so sweet game. The second "Old School Legend" is my first basketball idol. I remember reading about him in my elementary school book of the month feature; learning how he followed his basketball coach father around the country, dribbled the basketball to school and devoted his every waking moment to hoops. How he was solid in all facets of the game but more importantly did everything on the court with style. Come on all you JWill/White Chocolate fans out there, give it up for the original model, "Old School Legend" Pete Maravich. Pete Maravich This months Old School Legend is the first player that I modeled my game after, the first player that I searched out and read his biography, the first player that I considered really cool (which is saying something since I was about 8 years old).
