I understand the "ghost of pistol " coming back to the court BUT come on pistol was not some over weight slump in a warm up suit wearing a pink hat. Reminds me of a cheap knock off movie that doesn't even make VHS these days.

Nice effort. Don't mean to sound harsh, but Maravich sealed his legacy by dying young. Like Elvis, John Lennon, etc. Nobody will ever have to see him as an old man. He's almost mythical now.

I doubt Pete wore a hat when he played basketball nor would he have ever worn a pink one at any time. And how could anyone really take this video seriously when the guy who played Pete wasn't athletic at all? I wasted 5:22 of my life!
Nice tribute to a great basketball player. He was truly amazing, and his legacy will live on. There will never be anyone close to his scoring in college. RIP Pistol, 44
Very good job, captured the essense and the spirit that was Pistol Pete! Glad to see that he has inspired you to make a wonderful video and tribute as well. Court of Dreams!
pete dad was serbian, so that makes pete serb..it dont mean he aint american. petes dad press maravich was born in usa. he coached in collge and played pro ball,not nba. pistol played in nba and is college alltime scorer. pistol learned his skills as a american, he never was in serbia to learn his skills. just becuase your puerto rican it dont mean that you automatically are gifted in baseball..you have to learn the skill wether you in usa or another country
Hey Frank, it was Freezing that day!! I think I still have the frostbite on my toes. And by the way, I would have killed the Pistol Pete stand in on the court (lol). Still love the video, Rahiem.
It was truly a pleasure having you star in my short film about The Pistol...You did a GREAT job! Can you believe nearly 50,000 people have seen YOU??!! Now what about the NEXT project? Frank V.
thank you for this wonderful video, i hope pete knows there are still fans of him out there and who only wish he still lived.. Rest In Peace Pete, your legend will never be forgotten.
yeah Pete was playing with Dr. James Dobson who is a great Christian who owns Focus on the Family. He only played basketball 2 times in his last year of life!
PP(a great homage)reminds me of the days we shuffled together under the Triboro. It doesn't surprise me that your soul is still intact. Michael( S-T-R-E-T-C-H )
Frank, you are something very special. I wonder if you have thought about making your own documentries. Listen, keep on doing what you do and doing what you love. Because it is not often that a short film, can really cut deep into someone's heart, exposing their fears, sadness, and their love. Make more films, the world needs more of your gift. Thanks Frank.
Velvet is right man. Youre REALLY good. I almost felt like crying cuz i miss pete so much and you really brought back good memories of watching him play. You did well man. Keep it up.
This is a great video, all of the different camera angles you used were awesome. They made the movie more interesting, and the ending... it really left me stunned. Great job sir! Rip Pistol Pete Maravich
To compare Maravich to just other passers isn't enough...he could handle (dribble) better than anyone in general and of course could shoot as good as the best.
wow, they dont have anything in common and on top of that Maravich was a better player. J-will is nothing. If you want to compare Maravich to someone, it'll probably be close to nash. Since some of the passes nash does resembles maravich and same with some of the fadeaways
It is a shame Pistol played with almost no talent around him in his career, Truck Robinson if I recall was the best player Pete had on his team if I remember correctly but he also had the worst player inch for inch on his team playing Center in Rich Kelly.
Oh Pete had talent around him, it's just that other teams had MORE. Remember is wasn't a water down league back then. On the Hawks he had the excellent "Super" Lou Hudson and he had Bellamy. But look at the Celts from that era. Cowens, Havlicek, White. Excuse me? Then the role players like Silas and Cheney. The Bucks: Alcindor, Robertson, Dandridge, Allen. That's just sick! West, Goodrich, Chamberlain, Baylor. And when Baylor retires, McMillian! The NBA is NOT what it used to be!
If Walt Bellamy was in his prime when Pistol played with him in Atlanta he would've also been a good talent around him. He was not as talented as Wilt or Russell but he is still regarded as one of the best centers of all-time.
Pistol Pete is the most amazing player to ever play the game. He had the skill, flair and the work ethic that it takes to be a ball player. Props to the vid, who plays Pistol in this vid? Btw my dad sported the Maravich hair cut in college and almost played like him too.
I spent all my childhood watching Pete and trying to emulate his moves, his ability. I HAD to do something to keep his memory alive...Thanks very much.
I luv it! They only come along ever so often and maybe they do come back on some obscure court or field in some obscure town to do what they love 'one last time'.
