Pistol
Pete's Basketball Shooting Drills from the Homework Basketball training series is a one-of-a-kind in-depth instructional DVD that is mastered to increase the shooting ability of any and every basketball player. If anyone has the ability to teach shooting drills, it's Pistol Pete Maravich. During Pete's career at LSU, he racked
up 3,667 points and an incredible 44.2 points per game average.
Pete accomplished this despite the fact that according to NCAA rules, he could not start as a freshman. He accomplished this despite the fact that during his college years, there was no such thing as a "3 point shot". During his 10-year career in the NBA, he amassed nearly 16,000 points
and a 24.2 points per game average. Look at the record books for yourself; there are few in basketball history that come close to the achievements of Pistol Pete Maravich. You can learn from the wondrous
assortment of shots that Pete and his father, Press, took
a lifetime to develop. Press Maravich had a dream of basketball and basketball players and what they could become. He taught his son Pete that he could push himself to beyond what everyone thought was capable. He taught him that hard work and dedication is what it would take to be the very best that he could be. These are the same drills, shots, and exercises that young Pete learnedas a kid. Then in 1987 Pistol Pete Maravich was inducted into the
Basketball Hall of Fame. You now have the opportunity to learn from this same wealth of experience and knowledge - don't let this opportunity pass you by.
The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend
Also available at Pistol Pete Videos is the full length film The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend. The Pete Maravich movie, The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend, is the uplifting story of a scrawny eighth grade boy whose stunning skills earn him a spot on the high school team! Unfortunately for young Pete Maravich (Adam Guier), his style of "showtime" playing is way ahead of its time, making him the target of ridicule and socially separates him from his teammates. Against all odds, Pete perseveres with the constant encouragement of his mentor and father, Press Maravich (Days of Our Lives' Nick Benedict) and the love of his mother Helen (Academy Award nominee Millie Perkins). The legend of college's greatest scorer begins in the heart of a thirteen year old dreamer who soon becomes known to the world as The Pistol.
