i like his move where he doesnt relase his jump shot, then one-hands it in while hes falling. no momentum at all to guide the shot. all arm aim .. crazy :D

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahah!!! And1...hah..ahah..hahaah.hah Ok. I'm good, I'm good. Hmmm. Heh. HAHA! Whoops. Almost started again...Ouch. Yeah, seems the top ten comments are pretty educated despite an And1 mention - I will just add that he was 6'5" and never dunked, more than likely because he was in lay up range anywhere on the court, though I am sure there was nothing the sport offered that he was not capable of performing.

I agree totally. He was often outcasted in the NBA because of how good he was. He was doing things on the court during games that people either had never seen before or thought was not good for basketball. I don't think Pistol was the best player ever, there are others far more athletic than he was. But what he has over them is he invented what they are using. The cross over, behind the backs, all the stuff that is now considered normal was at a time considered trick basketball.

True, Pistol was the greatest, but you cannot deny the fact that Jordan was also a god given talent; just that Pete exploited it way more and sometimes drove him to insanity. Check out his books and you'll find that he was at times tormented by basketball. Too ahead of his time Pete would have dominated in today's era.

Players like Jordan and Bird can appear very mediocre when compared to the Pistol...because they are. As for today's greats like Lebron James...they don't even belong on the court with him. That's what happens when you play the game approximately 10,000 hours less. Long live the legend that is TRUE greatness, Pete Maravich. |
