| This movie is about the stint in the life of Pistol Pete Maravich in which he is living in Clemson and wants to make it to the basketball team. It does not tell us much about when he played for his dad in LSU or about his jump to the CBA. It is more directed to kids in order for coaches and parents to present Maravich's figure and as a motivational strategy for those kids who need to know that without passion and practice, it is unlikely to succeed. | | |  | The Pistol Mar 4, 2010 |
An awsesome DVD & the Amazing talent that the young actor Adam Guier who depicted Pete Maravich.
This is a inspirational story to any young person who wants to aspire to better things, it certainly does it for me as coming from a Basketball background myself, however when I was playing my Hero's in the game were Bill Russell, Jerry West, & Dr "J" & the likes from that era.
It has taken me years to find this flim after 1st seeing this many a year ago.
Once again a must watch & highly Reccommended | | | | Great Flick Feb 5, 2010 |
| Can't wait to show this movie to my kids one day. Delivery was on time and the DVD is in great shape. | | | | THE PISTOL is right on target!! Jan 1, 2010 |
Pete Maravich is the greatest scorer in the history of NCAA basketball. Think about it. This is a record that has stood for 40 years AND he did it before the three point rule (he was a guard with many of his shots outside today's three point boundary) AND freshman were not eligible when he played so he did it in three years. He averaged 44 points (charts show it would have been an incredible 57 with the three point rule) per game for three seasons. He also went on to become one of the all time great NBA players and was the youngest ever selected for the Hall of Fame. He was also a pioneer of the free wheeling style of basketball that dominates today. Behind the back passes and between the legs dribbling were unheard of in the white dominated basketball culture. Much more common in the segregated black teams and leagues, it was considered show-boating and hot-dogging in the white culture at that time. But Pete had a Dad, Press Maravich (a great player & coach in his own right), who was also a visionary and saw this as the future of basketball. This film is the story of how a father passed on his dream and vision to his talented and determined son at an early age. The film primarily covers Pete's eighth grade basketball, a coming of age experience, for this young man, both socially and athletically. Too good for his age and not politically correct to beat out the coach's son, he sits on the bench for a good part of the season until an injury puts him in the starting lineup. Basketball would never be the same again. While not a big budget film, nevertheless, it is a very satisfying story of this incredible athlete in this particular stage of his career. Adam Guier, who plays the eighth grade Pete, is no slouch as a basketball talent and makes the basketball scenes very real. Get the family or your team together for a fun and inspiring experience.

| This movie is essentially a recording of what's great about America and the American Dream. You will not find a more representative example of passion and commitment. I was stunned to learn the story of the beginning of the legend created by Pistol Pete. I left yearning to know more, and to see what happened in the years following those the movie covered. Don't purchase this movie if you seek simply entertainment. Buy this movie to learn about the art of the possible. | | | Write your own review about Pistol (Special Edition)
