Wait til Bill gives you the stats that Pete would have got had there been a 3pt line in his time at college.Simply amazing to comprehend how good Pete was.

My movie says that it is no longer available. Is this just me or is it everyone else as well.

Worked for me.
His stats from college are simple amazing.
Is he the most dominant player in college history?

Don't worry. Its working now.
That is amazing. If there was a 3 pt line in his colledge days, he would of averaged 57!!!!!!!!!!!! pts per game.
Even without the 3pt line he still managed 44!!!!!!!! pts per game.
That is some serious scoring. I'd hate to be the defence.
Heres a question, did his colledge team ever win a championship with him?

let alone the 13 makes per game. To put that in perspective the NBL record for maked 3PT in a game is 13 by Ian Davies.
Just think of all the great shooters the NBL has seen and none have had a better game than what Pistol averaged. Plus we have a game that goes for 8 minutes longer!
Just awesome stuff

Bolks, his college team never even went to the NCAA Tourney, IIRR.

Why is that? Didn't they have the tournament back then or was the rest of the team just crap?

Yeah but would he have been able to put as many three's up if there was a 3-point line? The defense would have been tighter had his long shots been worth an extra point.
Then again, if he was hitting 13 of them a game, surely they would have been guarding him tight already!!

nah - you're right jimmy - a guy averaging 40+ pts probably got the bunny defender week in week out. Good call.

Hoops61, that's not what jimmy's saying at all. Imagine if there was a 4 point line 2 metres beyond the 3 point line, do you think defenders would give people wide open looks from that distance like they would if that same shot was only worth 3?

Does anyone know the name of the Movie that was made about him? Such an inspirational story!

I think it was just called "The Pistol", although looking now it was actually called "Pistol: The birth of a legend"

Does anyone have any idea where I can get a copy of The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend ????
I have been looking for it for ages but can never find it in Region 4 (DVD) or Pal (VHS)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I want to share it with my young son.
