"Pistol" Pete Maravich was a basketball player from the 70s who was most notable for his control over the ball and his fancy passes/shots. He is considered to be the originator of "showtime" basketball. This video shows off some of his most notable plays and assists. Action starts at about 37 seconds.

Saving this video from queue deletion, sending it to the top of the queue for one more try. Originally submitted on Friday 25th May 2007 (save called by gold star member michie)

I went to a couple games when he was playing for the New Orleans Jazz. The sports announcer would emphasize the second syllable of "pistol."

Pistolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Pete!

Thanks Michie, I really appreciate that.

Out of curiosity, how do you keep track of videos that you'd save if they do end up discarded? Often I'll vote on a video in the queue and then forget about it during the 4 day period and not notice it get discarded. Is there any way to mark a video so that you get notified if it gets discarded?

Pistol Pete would totally embarrass most of the thugs playing basketball now.

One of the greatest passers of all time. And of course his scoring wasn't that bad either.
