However, I found that this movie had a lot of heart. Producer: David Visser, Writer: Darrel Campbell. The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend is about the early years of basketball great Pete Maravich.

When I saw this for the first time on video, I fell in love with it. It is not a well known film, but this does not mean it is bad, or obscure or anything like that. He shares his faith and this is what is important to him. Newcomer Adam Guier plays some fine basketball in his role as the young Maravich. As an added bonus, Dr. James Dobson from Focus on the Family talks to a group of teenagers about the day Pete Maravich died in his arms.

Basketball was quite different in 1959 from the game we see today.

Pistol Pete Maravich lit up the skies over Louisiana in his meteoric three-year career at LSU and emerged as college basketball's all-time leading scorer with 3,667 points and an incredible 44.2 points per game average. Adam Guier was born on July 24, 1976 in Shreveport, Louisiana, USA. To this day we love it when Coach says we are going to watch it. The film then takes us back to 1959 in Clemson, South Carolina and a stormy night where we see young Pete (Adam Guier) waiting for his father to return. His father Press has just passed away, and Pete is telling his son about the wonderful upbringing he had and what an important influence Press was on Pete. A few weeks before his death, Pete attended a gathering with Glen Campbell at the home of Jimmie Walker. User Ratings The movie should motivate kids to shoot for the impossible and dreams can be realized as well.

Pistol Pete Maravich... the name still rings in the ears of basketball fans across America. At first it didn’t matter, as the team was winning, and Pete was on the bench. He is inspired by his father who seems to be the only one with faith in him.

This particular story centers around young Maravich as an eighth-grader playing basketball for his high school team.

Young Pete is determined to become the best basketball player that he can, and his dad Press, who is the basketball coach at nearby Clemson College, guides his every step and has designed an incredible training regimen for Pete.

The best action shots are training and game sequences, and we provide a sampling of both.

He makes the part believable because he never steps out of character as a thirteen-year-old adolescent just beginning to discover what was important in his life besides basketball. Producer: David Visser, Writer: Darrel Campbell. Listening to him made the hair on my neck bristle!

It seems like real life in a loving family environment.

or at least here downunder. Adam has 3 jobs listed on their profile. Young Pete lives in both black and white high tops and wears them throughout the film. Who can forget the floppy socks, behind-the-back passes, between-the-legs dribbling, and the wondrous assortment of shots. I will never get tired of this film. Wooden acting and a mix of vintage and modern music that dates almost as badly as the music from Hoosiers!

I have to second what others have said about the god-awful acting by everyone in this film. This is about as clean a story as you could find: a nice story about the famous basketball player "Pistol" Pete Maravich in his earlier days. He is an actor, known for The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend (1991).

| This infuriates Buddy, and he tells his dad to kick Pete off of the team. Metacritic Reviews.
