Maravich Legend Enjoy Rebirth (From the "Heir to a Dream" Autobiography)
by Gil LeBreton

Dallas-Pistol Pete. That wasn't just a nickname. That was a basketball state of mind.

It was floppy socks. Between-the-legs dribbles. Between-the-legs passes. Showtime. Swish. Forty-four points swishing through, game-after-game, every game, for three collegiate seasons.

That name launched a thousand shots. OK, make that 3,166 shots.

Pistol Pete Maravich didn't just play basketball. He spray-painted it, just so we'd all remember.

"Maravich? Pistol Pete?" the hotel operator chirped Friday. "Oooh, is he staying here, too?"

So you see, Earvin Johnson, with all due respect, this dude was making magic while you were still making mud pies.

Likewise, with all due respect to Julius Erving, Maravich was anesthetizing basketball minds when the kind doctor was still changing bedpans.

How appropriate Pistol Pete should join us this weekend for a gathering of National Basketball Association legends. His pro career never reached the heights that his seasons at Louisiana State did, but Maravich did get picked for five NBA All-Star games.

And how ironic that Pete Maravich, who touched millions during his college years, wonders these days why, playing a different role, he can't touch a few more.

That's the Pete Maravich story now. You watched, so now he'd like you to listen. You put a spotlight on him, so now he'd like to show you the light.

"Money didn't change me," Maravich said Friday, on the eve of the NBA Legends Classic. "Money didn't change me, or power, or fame, or All-Star games or being Pistol Pete. Those were only brief interludes of ego gratification."

"The only thing that ever changed me was Jesus Christ...."
