Reviews

"A remarkable book that is the best researched biography yet of this revolutionary basketball player."-- "The Raleigh News and Observer", "Pistol Pete's moves on the basketball court defied the laws of physics. He did things you can't even film. He deserves a biographer with magic powers of his own, and he's found one in Mark Kriegel."-- Will Blythe, author of "To Hate Like This Is to Be Happy Forever", "This is the best sports book I've read in years. The research, the writing, the pace -- it's All-Pro material." -- Terry Pluto, "The Akron Beacon Journal", ""Pistol" is a beautifully written book that captures the soul and inner turmoil of this son and father."-- "The Tennessean", "Mark Kriegel has written the sport's bio equivalent of Maravich on a fast break: dazzling and smart, and, even at 381 pages, over before you knew it." -- "The Wall Street Journal", "I grew up possessed by the legend of 'Pistol' Pete Maravich. I've seen all the great basketball players of my time. I've marveled at the supernatural skills of Michael Jordan, Oscar Roberts, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Jerry West, Kobe Bryant -- all of them far greater basketball players than Pistol. Yet none of them could touch the magical, otherworldly qualities he brought to the court -- the genius and wizardry and breathtaking creativity. He could light up a crowd like a match set to gasoline. His game was lordly, inimitable, and he should have been the greatest to ever play the game. This great book by Mark Kriegel will explain why he was not. I never saw a greater or more electrifying basketball player, and the Pistol's is one of the saddest stories ever told. What a book!"-- Pat Conroy, author ofMy Losing SeasonandThe Prince of Tides, ""Pistol" is not just a biography of a transcendent, doomed athlete; it is a mesmerizing tale of a striving, grasping American family as dramatic as myth, of a father and son as intertwined as Daedalus and Icarus. Kriegel has written the rarest of sports books: a fast-paced, through-the-night page-turner. This isn't a slam dunk, it's a tomahawk glass-shatterer. "Pistol" is nothing but sensational."-- Rick Telander, author of "Heaven Is a Playground" and senior sports columnist, "Chicago Sun-Times", ""Pistol" skillfully pulls off the balancing act required of good sports biography. It plays large historical forces (segregation, the rise of televised sports) against the individual magic of its subject." --" New York Magazine", "Like the best journalists, Kriegel has the ability to get out of the way and let a good story tell itself." -- "The Atlanta Journal Constitution", ""Pistol" is a classic American tale wonderfully told. With deep research and a vivid narrative style, Mark Kriegel brings us the joy and sorrow of Pete Maravich, an inimitable basketball player who was both timeless and before his time, an original talent haunted by demons -- his father's and his own."-- David Maraniss, author of "Clemente: The Passion and Grace of Baseball's Last Hero", "I grew up possessed by the legend of 'Pistol' Pete Maravich. I've marveled at the supernatural skills of Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Jerry West, Kobe Bryant -- all of them were greater basketball players than the 'Pistol'. Yet none of them could touch the magical, otherworldly qualities he brought to the court, the genius and wizardry and breathtaking creativity. He could light up a crowd like a match set to gasoline. His game was lordly, inimitable and he should have been the greatest player to ever play the game. This great book by Mark Kriegel will explain why he was not. I never saw a greater or more electrifying basketball player and the 'Pistol's' is one of the saddest stories ever told. What a book!"-- Pat Conroy, bestselling author of "My Losing Season" and "The Prince of Tides"

Enlightening and insightful biography of a fascinating person
Fantastic, factual book regarding the life of a truly uniquely fascinating and perplexing person. I have read all the other books and viewed movies about the life of Pete Maravich, and even have listened to audio tape of him speaking in person. This book appropriately and accurately summarizes the life and influences on the "Pistol". Author Mark Kriegel does a marvelous job of weaving comments and insight from people who were close to Pete, and knew him well, throughout his life. This a "must read" for anyone ever fascinated with "Pistol" Pete Maravich.Fantastic, factual book regarding the life of a truly uniquely fascinating and perplexing person.

Unbelieveable.Best Bio I've read yet.Highly recommended
Kriegel is a genius. He has unbelieveable sources. Introduces you to the beginning of Press and Pete to the very end. Could not put it down. Wish there was more but it had to end at some point. Will definitely buy Kriegel's other work called "Namath." I decided to buy it because the story of father/son and their obsession with basketball intrigued me. It was as if Pete could do magic. He left us all in awe of the things he did on the court. Press was just as good is what people don't remember. I bought it to learn more about them and of course to learn lessons of success. As the old saying goes, To be the best you can be, you must learn from the best. Could not recommend this book highly enough!Kriegel is a genius. He has unbelieveable sources.

Shooting from the hip
Great read for the Maravich, intense or casual college basketball fan. Highly recommend it. Read the 300-plus pages in less than four weeks, which is good for me. Hard to put it down. Only qualm is, the writer likes to show his vocabulary skills and throws out words that are not often used in everyday reading or talk. Overall a riveting account of Maravich's life from those who were closest to him.Great read for the Maravich, intense or casual college basketball fan. Highly recommend it.

Great read. Well done.
I got watch him perform on TV a few times. Way ahead of his time ! I had no idea of the severe rac'm and resentments he endured while a pro. Knew how he died, but not aware of the circumstances or full details. One of the better B.B. books I have read. Well worth what I paid ! Pretty sad story in all actuality.

A compelling and well told narrative about a basketball legend - Pete Maravich.
One of the best basketball books I've read. A compelling narrative about basketball in the 40s, story of Press Maravich, his dad and legedary coach, the NBA, as well as the life and trails of Pete Maravich.
