Pistol Pete

[D.G.A.C.O.L.B.]

I know this isn't Wizards related but it was his supposed to be his 60th birthday yesterday (RIP) and I thought it would be appropriate to post a couple of highlight videos. Growing up, my dad forever talked to me about Pistol Pete and how he revolutionized the game of basketball. For you youngsters, there is an excellent movie about him called "Pistol: The Birth of a Legend." (http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:75000) Check it out if you get a chance.

Understand that the things he was doing with the basketball had never been done before. Dude was simply amazing.
