Pistol:
The Life of Pete Maravich by Mark Kriegel EPUB

Pistol is more than the biography of a ballplayer. It's
the stuff of classic novels: the story of a boy transformed by his father's dream and the cost of that dream. Even
as Pete Maravich became Pistol Pete, a basketball icon for baby boomers, all the Maraviches paid a price. Now acclaimed
author Mark Kriegel has brilliantly captured the saga of an American family: its rise, its apparent ruin, and, finally,
its redemption. Almost four decades have passed since Maravich entered the national consciousness as basketball's
boy wizard. No one had ever played the game like the kid with the floppy socks and shaggy hair. And all these years
later, no one else ever has. The idea of Pistol Pete continues to resonate with young people today just as powerfully as
it did with their fathers. In averaging 44.2 points a game at Louisiana State University, he established records that
will never be broken. But even more enduring than the numbers was the sense of ecstasy and artistry with which he
played. With the ball in his hands, Maravich had a singular power to inspire awe, inflict embarrassment, or even tell a
joke. But he wasn't merely a mesmerizing showman. He was basketball's answer to Elvis, a white Southerner who
sold Middle America on a black man's game. Like Elvis, he paid a terrible price, becoming a prisoner of his own
fame. Set largely in the South, Kriegel's Pistol - a tale of obsession and basketball, fathers and sons - merges
several archetypal characters. Maravich was a child prodigy, a prodigal son, his father's ransom in a Faustian
bargain, and a Great White Hope. But he was also a creature of contradictions: always the outsider but a virtuoso in a
team sport, an exuberant showman who wouldn't look you in the eye, a vegetarian boozer, an athlete who lived like a
rock star, a suicidal genius saved by Jesus Christ.
