Book Description

I Remember November 20, 2000
"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.


Editorial Reviews

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.

From the Author

I met Maravich in late December 1987 on a Delta flight from Little Rock to Dallas. The night before we had been at the Alabama-Arkansas nonconference basketball game, Pete as a color commentator for USA Network and me as a college hoops writer for the "Fort Worth Star-Telegram." During the return flight, I went back to Pete's seat and introduced myself. We chatted briefly and exchanged business cards, and that was that. Christmas came and went, and in early January I was back in Arkansas, this time holed up in a Fayetteville hotel because I was in town covering another Arkansas game. It was there that I was watching television when an announcement was made of Maravich's death that morning. . .

4.0 out of 5 stars oral history, November 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: I Remember Pete Maravich: Personal Recollections of Basketball's Pistol Pete by the People and Players Who Knew Him (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful reading!, September 26, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: I Remember Pete Maravich: Personal Recollections of Basketball's Pistol Pete by the People and Players Who Knew Him (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.
