LOST MARAVICH FILMS and VIDEOS (help us find this footage)
TOP FIVE "WANTED" PISTOL PETE BROADCASTS/ FILMS
Below is a more detailed "wish list" but here are the Top 5 Maravich lost games that Pistol fans are currently searching for worldwide.
1. Feb. 25, 1970 LSU vs. Kentucky (TVS)
(Pete 64, Issel 51) This Saturday afternoon coast-to-coast telecast (TVS) placed the floppy-socked Pete into the national conscience. It was all on display: the no-look passes, behind the back dribbling, and wild shooting. In his final home game at LSU the Pistol hit on 55% of his shots.
2. November 2nd, 1973 Atlanta at Houston
The Hawks were trailing the home-town Rockets with three minutes remaining when Pete took over and hit seven consecutive baskets (from 29, 21, 23, 20, and 17 feet, plus two lay-ups) and added a free throw. Fifteen points in two minutes and fifteen seconds. The Hawks stunned the Rockets 125-123 in this game broadcast on WTCG-TV, Channel 17 in Atlanta.
3. HOMEWORK BASKETBALL
Not the video series Pete produced in 1985 but the rare 16mm film he and his dad Press made back in 1967. I have spoken to several people who saw this film while attending Rick Barry's and John Wooden's basketball camps. Still looking...
4. Saturday, March 30, 1968 (CBS)
EAST-WEST Collge All Star Game, Butler University's Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. For the first time in college, Pete would play in a contest where dunking was legal and a 30 second shot clock was utilized. In front of 14,500 fans Pete didn't fail to electrify. He began by hitting his first six attempts while his pinpoint passing and ball handling mesmerized the Hoosier crowd. Although Rick Mount led all scorers with 24 points (11 for 16) Pete chalked up 11 assists and - in the MVP voting (Star of Stars) - edged out hometown-legend Mount by a single vote.
5. Three-on-Three, April 23, 1978 (CBS)
Pete, Billy Cunningham, and LeVar Burton faced off against Rick Barry, Lenny Wilkens, and Kent McCord (Adam 12). Broadcast as a half-hour special on Sunday afternoon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1. Looking for: COMPLETE NBA GAMES
Pete Maravich played about 675 NBA games where he started and I would be happy to see any of them. However, my top five "wish list" in this category:
* A. Jan 23, 1972
18 pounds underweight and recovering from mononucleosis Pete and the Hawks met defending NBA champions Bucs - who were riding an eleven game home win streak. Pete dropped 35 points and 14 assists on Oscar Robertson and led the Hawks to a 118-113 victory in front of an SRO crowd at Milwaukee Arena. Kareem Abdul-Jabber had 33 points for the losers.
* B. March 18, 1977 - with just 7 players (the rest of the team was in a car accident) the Jazz win in Phoenix behind Pete's 51 points.
* C. Feb 8, 1975 Pete gets 47 and beats Atlanta (his old team). 1st Jazz road win.
* D. April 8, 1973 Pete gets 37 (14 in 4th) to lead Hawks over Celtics in Playoffs.
* E. March 18, 1980 Starting at guard for Boston, Pete (with rookie Larry Bird) gets 31pts. 7 ast. and leads Celtics over Pacers.
(Also I am very interested in NBA films. These were highlight films made by the league. Also teams had scouting films/tapes... where are they now?)
#2 Looking for: COMPLETE COLLEGE GAMES
Pete played in 68 college games. At least 9 were televised (TVS's SEC Game of the Week).
* A. Feb. 1970 LSU vs. Kentucky (Pete 64, Issel 51) Note: This is it. The "most wanted" broadcast by Maravich collectors throughout the world. One of the first (and most watched) nationwide telecast of a regular season college basketball game.
* B. Feb. 1970 LSU at Alabama (Pete 69)
* C. Dec. 30, 1968 LSU/Duquesne (Pete 53)
#3 Looking for: PARTIAL NBA GAMES
These are games where Pete came off the bench or participated in an All-Star game. Top of wish in the category
* A. 1977 All Star Game (I am looking for the first quarter - I have the rest of the game)
* B. 1974 All-Star game (15 pts/4 ast.).
* C. Mar 25, 1980 Celts at Wash. Pete gets 19 in 4th quarter in win over Bullets.
#4 Looking for: One-on-One, HORSE, Three-on-Three
1970's era NBA promotions.
* A. One-on-One 1972 (ABC) Pete lost to Bob Lanier.
* B. HORSE 1978 (CBS) I have the last three rounds (Gervin, McAdoo, Grevey) but I am still searching for Pete vs. Bubble Hawkins.
* C. 3-on-3 1978 (CBS) (EXTREMELY RARE) Pete, Billy Cunningham, and LeVar Burton faced off against Rick Barry, Lenny Wilkens, and Kent McCord (Adam 12). Broadcast as a half-hour special on Sunday afternoon, April 23, 1978.
#5 Looking for: 1971 PBS DOCUMENTARY
I don't know the name but this film (produced by WNET-NY) covered Pete's first four months as a rookie with the Hawks.
#6 Looking for: VITALIS DRY CONTROL COMMERCIALS
They did four. I have one. Brystal-Myers. Ad Agency: Young and Rubicam. I am also searching for Pete's 1972 Vitalis "One-on-One" battle with Bob Lanier on ABC.
#7 Looking for: M.V.P (The Willis Reed Show)
A syndicated sports talk show (Roth Media) with Reed and Johnny Bench. I've seen a photo from this program with Pete, Bench, Reed, and Woody Allen (!). circa 1972

"Thanks for the visit and please come back... I am always updating."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maravich News Section:
Item #1 Official Pistol Pete Maravich Web Site
www.PistolPete23.com is a great new site endorsed by the Maravich family. Go visit it. There is a list of Pete's 10 Greatest LSU Games (plus some score sheets), info on his pro and college careers, a memory board, great photos, and lots of memorabilia for sale.
Item #2 Pete DVD Highlights
For those looking for Pistol Pete footage on DVD - NBA Entertainment has just released Ankle Breakers Vol. One (hosted by Stephon Marbury). It ranked Pete's fake-around-the-back move on Jerry West (1971) as the 9th greatest "ankle breaker" in NBA history. Also included is the entire segment on Pete from the old Spectacular Guards video (curiously without narration). For collectors there are no NEW clips but the digital format makes for a more pristine picture.
ITEM #3 Homework Basketball Series on DVD
The amazing, legendary four part video series (shooting, dribbling, ball-handling, and passing) is now available on DVD. The best price I have seen is at the Official Pistol Pete site (www.PistolPete23.com): $24.99 each or the complete set for $89.99.
Item #4: PISTOL: BIRTH OF A LEGEND on DVD
The inspirational movie is now available on DVD in pristine widescreen format from VCI Entertainment. There are a few extras included as well.
