The Master Showman: Pistol Pete Was The NBA’s Soul Man

Pete Maravich’s brilliant play-making earned him a spot in the basketball Hall of Fame.

NBA has produced some remarkable showman in its rich history. Julius Erving, Earl Monroe, Connie Hawkins, Michael Jordan, George Gervin and Dominique Wilkins are just a few legends who left us breathless.

However, few will disagree that there was ever a showman quite  like Pistol Pete Maravich,  arguably the most entertaining player in the history of the game.

Maravich was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the No. 3 overall pick in the 1970 NBA  draft out of LSU, where he averaged an NCAA record 44 points per game for his career. If you were to factor in the 3-point line that was not in existence at that time, he would’ve easily averaged 50-plus points per game.

Maravich  averaged 24 points per game during his 10-year career, which included stops with the Jazz, and his final season with the Celtics. The 6-foot-5 guard was a brilliant showman, who Magic Johnson credits as having a big influence on his game as a kid.

Maravich  could make circus shots, breathtaking passes, and his ball handling skills were magnificent.  He was a player you have to see in order to believe. Check out his highlights.

    Heya just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.
