Product Description
Book Description
"I Remember Pete Maravich" is a beautiful hardcover book that details the professional career and personal example of "Pistol Pete" Maravich. His amazing record and ball-handling tricks are just some of the stories recounted here by some of Maravich's closest acquaintances, including his friends, fellow basketball players, coaches, and relatives.
From the Publisher
"I Remember Pete Maravich" is not a biography, rather it is a compilation of candid and revealing memories of Maravich told by dozens who knew him well. Towle not only captures Maravich's extraordinary style of basketball, but also, his conversion to Christ late in his life.

Wonderful reading!,
By A Customer
This review is from: I Remember Pete Maravich: Personal Recollections of Basketballs Pistol Pete (Hardcover)
Pistol Pete was my childhood hero and this book tells me an awful lot about him from people who knew him during different parts of his life. It's people talking about Pete in their own words and the stories and memories are rich and interesting. I especially like the Christian angle to the book, telling of Pete's conversion to Christianity and his evangelical work. Most of the stuff I've read on Maravich downplay that stuff, but I think it as important as anything else he ever accomplished. Nice book for sure.

This review is from: I Remember Pete Maravich: Personal Recollections of Basketballs Pistol Pete (Hardcover)
This biik is an oral history of Pete Maravich, the player and the person. It recounts the memories of various people who knew Pete as the Pistol and as just plain Pete. It gives a balanced view of his past and is especially interesting in recounting Pete's later days and his conversion to Christianity. A good read for people who may have read Pete's biography but want to see him through others eyes.
