Last Voices echoed in my mind

when I took my son

to my old school.

Did revive him

one magical time of my life.

Back to the time

where my life was full of

innocence of youth.

My childhood dream

was to be a great

basketball player, as well as my father.

He was my hero, my companion ,

the best friend that a child could have.

But he was more here.

His death was a hard reminder

That life is a fleeting shadow ,

every moment is a precious gift

to be shared with anyone.

Wanted to express my son

feelings and fondest memories

a wonderful childhood.

For, somehow inspire you to see through my eyes,

and help you understand

that via the pull patience and persistence,

dreams are possible.

This was the legacy left by my father

for over thirty years.

CLENSOM, CAROLINA SOUTH , 1959

PISTOL A LEGEND IS BORN

I remember like it was yesterday .

Was the beginning of an incredible journey .

The year that would change my life forever...

and define the course my destination.

1958 was a period innocent,

of hope and change in America.

A time when thought that everything would be possible.

At least, that's how in their Maravich.

I like that! A young with confidence.

We made an election at school.

Who won?

Nixon. I voted for JFK.

Like his father,

Always voting on the weaker.

Weaker? With Jack Kennedy

we build houses on the moon in 1970

and you know why?

Because he has confidence. -Confidence.

Let Pete coffee, Press.

Many things will change in the next decade.

Dad was an optimist and a genius

to create ways of stimulating my confidence.

I was watching Gene Autry other day

and suddenly realized

a good basketball player

can get along just fine

if so fast as a gunman.

I'll show you.

Give me the ball. Get up Peter.

I will teach an exercise.

Turn around.

Lower your arms.

This.

Now, do not pay attention to me .

I want to focus.

Now estufe the chest!

Not want to think

which is a weakling.

This shoulders in place.

Now when I drop this ball.

Want beat palms in front

and take the ball behind you.

But need to focus.

Hear my voice.

Do not listen to me.

Do not listen to me.

This is impossible.

Impossible?

We will see their hands gunman, ok?

Okay, Helen.

Well, do not pay attention to me , Press.

You "found" that could do.

I "knew" that I would . Trust!

But Dad's inspiration

not change the fact that in school

I was a misfit,

a lonely boy with big dreams.

But this country was not founded

by ordinary people who dared to believe

That big dreams come true?

That's what I was taught.

With liberty and justice for all.

Okay. Today we talk about dreams.

More specifically, the American dream.

The American Dream is a concept

and a belief that anything is possible.

What dreams do you have today?

Who would you like to be?

I want to write

in 200 words By the end of class,

what are your dreams for the future.

Any questions?

Okay, can begin.

How could put a dream into words?

Something went in my heart?

When I was in eighth grade,

all we wanted was to be a great

basketball player, as my father.

But with 1.60 tall and 40 pounds,

who would believe?

I think only my father and I believed at first.

When I was not on the court,

everything you thought was that there was another boy

practicing more than me.

And he could scholarship

should be mine,

If I do not try harder.

Yes, Peter?

I need...

Boy, you do not should be in class?

Yes, sir.

I hope you today at 15:30,

to deal with the problem.

I figured when Dad knew

I killed lesson

he would give me his famous spanking,

or let me grounded for life.

No, no, no! Wait!

You need to take the guy until the barrier.

Exit barrier. Stuck!

Skin with skin.

Understand? Yes, sir.

Okay, let again.

!

Everyone here!

Dad was an official retired navy,

a hero of World War II

is a very serious man,

when he came to inspire and train students

Clemson College.

According to Dad, the way to play

basketball reflected how

that person would live his life.

His teams knew well your opinion.

When he spoke, everyone listened .

I'm not spending precious moments

of my life to teach them

To throw a ball in a basket .

This here is a lifestyle.

I want the players to think,

work, to sweat, have challenges

and discipline because the other things

has no value.

The problem with you guys,

is that they are a bunch of goons ,

who think they know everything.

Give me the ball.

You see this ball?

Size of this sphere

represents everything know about basketball,

but the size of this ball is

everything that has not been discovered about the game.

This point is all you know. Together!

If forget the girls and the cars,

and hear me, will get things never

thought possible.

Do not care if you is low, slow,

thin or high.

Can play with the best.

engaging maximum you to perfect

Now we train these played again, folks.

Let's do it right.

!

That's it! That's what I!

That afternoon I had to face

the wrath of Vern Pendleton,

The high school coach.

You is small for a Maravich.

His mother feeds you well?

Yes, sir.

Has pedigree.

I think you will not be

a star football,

but might play basketball.

Do not use moccasin.

What? Well, you know

my assistant, Carl Cannfield the cafeteria?

I know.

It delivers the equipment in the locker room.

Your closet is 41.

Let's start in 2 minutes.

How?

Want to train

With the team principal, do not you?

I want.

Go get dressed, then.

If you are waiting for me it late.

Come on, come on!

It was my big chance!

Training with the first team!

But my big chance

was also the beginning of major problems.

Different people do not always

are received from open arms.

On the first day of training I do not I integrated.

Not got the right equipment.

Carl! Carl!

Whatever here?

I will train with the team.

So hurry up, let's start already.

The protector is very large.

It is very big! I need a minor.

How?

Lions!

Oh, you need less chill!

Come on!

30 free throws.

The training begins within 5 minutes.

He is the son of Maravich coach?

Is. I do not know what the my father has in mind

to let him train.

It is hard.

Have you seen this guy in the hallways?

Always walking with a basketball.

It is a strange boy , Sandy.

He deserves credit for trying,

Courageous boy.

Come on!

The record of wins and losses

was all that mattered to the technician.

While the Lions continue winning,

he would never put me in the game.

I realized that the chances of occupying

the place of a holder practically non-existent.

And if it were up to Buddy,

the son of Technical Pendleton,

I never put the Peach the court.

Buddy Pendleton comes down with the ball,

sewing,

Rises to the pan, and scores!

It was not convinced.

It was the confidence that told me

I could play better than others.

Trust that had to do

my father exercises

for more than 10,000 hours, since I was 5 years old.

Dad helped me develop the discipline ,

dedication and the desire that led me to believe

that could take the place of any a team,

even Buddy Pendleton .

If not for Carl Cannfield ,

I'd be totally bored.

While others celebrated the victories

got tired of sitting,

wondering when would chance

to participate in a game.

Hey, champ, passes the pliers.

It's there in the box.

Thank you.

Looking from up the basket seems that can hit any pitch.

I wanted to have this time!

No kidding!

You know, one time a guy told me

I had a screw loose

when I said I wanted to be professional .

Really?

Yeah, he did not even want watch me play.

Play the ball here.

When you are down there

everything seems difficult.

It's like fighting windmills.

Give me another ball.

The guy who believes it, only see limits,

but a dreamer's the kind of people

believes that these two balls can fit in the basket.

When you dream, everything is possible . It's late.

How about playing face to face?

I start.

Right.

When I was in eighth grade,

was on the bench,

as you were today.

I know what's going on.

The hands sweat, the heart races

like a freight train.

Finally, you comes into play.

Fans who are there, not know what they are feeling.

They just expect there on the court, somehow that boy

help the team they love to win the game.

When we think so,

a dream no more than is a challenge

we put ourselves.

Your turn.

Do you understand what I'm saying, Pete?

Yes, sir.

It's after 10, Press Maravich,

neighbors just called.

Really?

Well, they are agreed so late?

Cute.

How long this will take?

Until I win.

Really? Go dreaming.

Best of seven.

Stay here, honey! I need fans.

Need a beating , yes.

When will grow, Press?

Once you grow as well.

Point! End of game.

Call this pitch?

The ball came in, did not enter?

Game over, boys,

come on, Pete, has passed bedtime.

Pete, what is the best player of all time?

George Mikan.

No

In the semifinals 1950 he made

an average of 31 points per game.

So what?

Okay. And Natt Holmon?

Original Celtics, good feint, great passes.

Not Very limited.

Limited... get this...

Well, the Dutch Dennert?

He invented the pivot position,

and it was my coach professional team.

Improved, but it is far.

It is far! Okay, wise guy!

Who was the best player that ever existed ?

Can you tell me, Dad!

This is my boy!

What are you doing?

Running.

But we have a game in an hour.

I know. I think I have that save energy

to sit on that bench.

My first passion was officially begun with Sandy,

cheerleader.

I knew I was risking my life

talking with his girlfriend Buddy Pendleton

but it was beautiful.

My knees were shaking when I spoke to her.

I saw you in the play.

Will actress?

Oh, sure. Marilyn Monroe.

It will be a movie star?

I think not.

So why is the play?

She must have found me an arrogant fool

but I needed to say.

Why waste time being an actress,

if not he tried to be the best?

Come on, Buddy!

Was missing three - two!

Technical foul. White.

Number one - zero is out of the game.

Play out?

You lost your mind?

You have to help my boys too.

Get out of here. Time, time!

Come to here!

Needs treatment, zebra!

We will have to make a change.

Maravich, you enter!

Father, you must be kidding .

You play, I'm the coach.

Go warming, Maravich.

Well, we have to do is the following ...

Press!

It's about time.

Keep track, enter the game.

Well, son, keep control, play right.

Ready? Come on.

Is ours is ours.

It is easy, come on.

One, two, three, Lions! We Will!

Okay, Buddy! That's right!

I'm free!

Wow, I thought had a good team.

But we do not worth a penny!

In thirty years as coach,

deliver never seen a game like this.

And you, Maravich,

that play is great to the circus,

but for the team of Daniel High, is poor basketball.

Think of it during the weekend,

and play basketball how to,

will be able to put the uniform of the team...

if you can not, forget it.

Hi, Pete... you played very well.

We lost.

You can not always win.

When we lose,

people remember only this.

I still think you played well.

If you're smart, will give up.

Just today!

He did not mean it!

Get out of here.

Are you defending him?

It was an accident, Buddy.

Okay. If you are so you want,

'm going out with the Walker and the boys today.

As Sandy or anyone else

'd know what I was feeling ?

Buddy.

Hey, Maravich! Very thanks, sausage!

Losing the game was as have a knife in the heart.

Me condicionei to believe that

only victory was acceptable, nothing more.

I had disappointed the team...

fans, Daniel High School

and my hero, my father.

Knew that you find here.

Right acted in that bid.

Know Pete,

you have something that man more rich world can not buy...

A gift.

Maybe now look like you does not fit... as...

if I did everything wrong.

But believe me,

you're on the right track.

Your mother and I...

can not afford a university.

But if you indulge in,

and use this gift that God gave him ,

will one day play in the team.

I know, son

And if really good, for

will get a scholarship /

maybe play with the pros,

and join the championship...

I think I heard these words thousand times.

And tonight I realized

I wanted to be "Pistol".

Now is me

I will change the situation

appears the desire seed

Reviving the ashes in the little heart

Awake, awake the flame

Now is me

No one will stop me

Now is me again

Now is me

My path will follow

I discovered what it takes

E tracks will not let

I will break the chains

That put me

And find this hope, shining far

The price to continue on my way

Now is me

No one will stop me

Now it's me again

Now is me

My path will follow

Now is me

No one will stop me

Now it's me again

Now is me

My path will follow

I will follow

So you told Pete that would be better to leave the team?

We talked.

As always, my opinion does not count.

But, Helen, is...

This is the real problem , Press.

You are always fighting against windmills.

Hold on.

What do you mean?

It's okay if you want to fight the tide ,

but his son to do the same?

Hold on.

A few weeks ago you happy

because Pete joined the team.

I was happy because I know how

he wants to be like you /

join the team owner to 13 years.

But it will not happen,

because everything Vern see Pendleton

is a boy of 1.60 tall and 40 pounds.

Helen, you do not understand

which he is living.

I know Pete is suffering.

Of course he is suffering .

When I was his age,

wanted out of steel in Aliquippa.

My lungs were full of dark smoke,

and my hands were rough

to work 15 hours a day.

Think I do not was suffering?

But it builds character, Helen,

That pain there in the soul of background

encouraged me to be something better!

I can train you up out of breath ,

but while he did not feel something that burns your soul,

My words are worthless.

But he's just a boy.

I know.

Children usually prefer a teddy bear.

It's hard to be a child seeking

adult dream.

In all the pain and confusion , I knew

I had to continue seeking my dream,

for my father and me,

even more nobody understood

what was going on in me.

When the excitement and pressure dominated me,

I plunged the years Dad had taught me.

Control at your fingertips,

Followed by wrist flexion.

Control at your fingertips,

followed by wrist flexion.

Control at your fingertips,

followed by wrist flexion.

In those lonely nights,

my father exercises the

helped me to continue.

Control at your fingertips,

followed by wrist flexion.

Some people seek reasons to dislike you.

Four weeks have passed since

I attained Buddy's face.

I still felt alone

like a fish upstream.

Hey, Elf, would is allowed to carry

basketball in the hallway?

Eighth grade...

Okay. As you know,

every day this quarter

ask students to tell

your dreams for the future.

Peter, now it's your turn.

My dream is to get a scholarship

university to play basketball.

Class! That's enough.

Continue, Peter.

And I'll be the first man to win

a million dollars playing

basketball professionally.

Hey, hey!

Also want to play in the first team

and earn a range of best player

of basketball ever.

You can sit, Peter. Thank you.

I...

wanted to talk to you about Pete.

Look... or he is good for the team or not.

But if you're using Pete

only to train your players,

then it is more ignorant than I thought .

Hold on, mate,

you are passing the limit now.

I'm really?

Just want to know

Because you are not putting Pete to play.

He needs to mature, Press.

Mature. He has more discipline

and maturity that his first team.

And that includes Buddy, his son.

Press, we will not take it personally .

Of course, your child has some talent,

it just needs to be controlled and cut .

But when you have a good horse,

arises him to compete , Vern.

Technical, not wanted to say this,

but this appears to me pressing.

Well, go ahead and tell because

I would give any thing to know

what's going on on his head.

Well, your child involved in problems.

I'm listening.

He learned to play like that with blacks.

I saw him playing the other side of the rail.

I hate to tell you this,

but I think you needed to know.

Of course, this kind of thing works

with Globe Trotters, but in a real game...

you saw what happened when

I put to play.

He almost broke the nose of Buddy!

You are joking, technical.

I think your son should take that pass.

The only game that Pete know is instinctively

it will not stop for 10 minutes

thinking in the pass,

he will not give no warning.

Not understand what I'm saying?

He knew Buddy was free, he knew!

Pete has bids ever seen,

and you're chaining a born winner.

Why do not you the loose, huh?

Why do not gives you a chance?

What are you doing, Dad?

"Man to man", or "zone"?

Shut Walk! Man to man.

Ok 'Man on man.'. Come on.

One, two, three, Lions!

Oh, please! Lock there and rebounds!

Pete!

How are you feeling?

Well

Damn, look at that pass!

I thought you would get.

Look blocking and rebounds.

A rebound is too much to ask?

Pete!

Knew is not it?

How?

The pass for Buddy.

I think so.

How did you know he was free?

Only knew.

Okay, can sit.

Pete enters the place of Walker.

Hey, will you mark me?

Cannfield, that does not is the son of Maravich?

Is.

's Killing them, Pete.

Calm, Maravich!

Hey, kid!

Where did you learn to shoot like that?

In the backyard.

Know flinging the waist like a gunslinger?

Thank you.

Father!

Hi!

What are you doing here?

I was thinking about the victory of yesterday.

Have you read the papers?

No

Should have read.

Listen to this.

The basketball team of Daniel High School

guaranteed entertainment last night,

thanks to the talent of a eighth-grader,

Pete Maravich.

Daniel High School gym did not see much movement

from the prom closure of football.

The team traditionally formed by high school students

led by Buddy Pendleton

gained new air with the small Maravich leading the pack.

He did not lead anything, Dad!

What matters is that we are winning .

It gets worse.

Sometimes, the fellow Pistol Pete...

"Pistol Pete". What business is that of "Pistol Pete"?

It is a stage name as Houdini.

Can you believe this shit?

If you want to say something, say it!

I want Maravich off the team.

We need to drive the team

and no one likes him.

Why not?

Now father,

it's a boy silly eighth grade

and we are high school.

And the tradition?

What about her?

Always scale senior students.

As I said, what matters

is the column wins and losses.

Was even thinking in scale it.

Instead of whom?

In Walk or yours.

I know people are saying that we have a chance

in the state semifinals,

and this will not happen to the Maravich

dividing the team.

I'll think about it, son.

Freezes him today, Dad. It would be the best decision.

We give you all the support.

Mainly Walker.

Had started playing a few weeks ago

and the school was winning,

But wanted to improve my game.

How to do this?

My father taught me.

Want to try?

All day I went to College Clemson

and Dad handed me some new training

who called Task Basketball,

the only task I like to do.

One day the Moose came to me.

It seems he wanted a scholarship

much as I, and was willing

put at risk its reputation with the team.

I decided to give you an introduction

to see if it was even a dreamer.

Try this. My father calls "blowback."

There is no one to show us the way

Together we are

We are the dreamers

really believe

encourage each other

to continue

We wink

E in our dreams are heroes

We dream the same thing

We pray all night protection

Side by side, we will see life

Creating the future

This day will come

Not so far

Venceremos together

We are the dreamers

really believe

We encourage each other

to continue

We are the dreamers

really believe

encourage each other

to continue.

Okay Other than that my father taught is the "Booty fast. "

You can try, Moose.

Place your hands as if it were draw their pistols.

Clap in front and catch the ball behind you.

Focus, and whatever,

not pay attention to me.

I do this.

See the speed of the Walk.

Are you ready?

Barnes. You try, CD.

Okay. Do not pay attention to me .

Hey, Buddy. Come try. You can.

I do not do circus acts.

I gamble Pete can do.

Look.

Had not yet conquered all,

but Sandy seemed to support me,

even from a distance.

Now see what happens this attack.

The side is the light trap about this man,

while the owners go out at the same time.

One here, another there.

Do not let him tire your ears.

You can go home whenever they want.

Honey, have some thing burning?

The pivot crosses the lane, makes a light trap

the defender while the other side

crosses the bottom line.

I'm not cooking anything.

Then find something.

Watch now. It's very simple.

Santa could talk all night

about his two favorite subjects:

Basketball and me.

But the same style of play

that would make people scream and stay in Peach

twenty years later, gave to sleep

major technical of the country.

Pete See, for example.

Right here in my house,

have the guardian of the future.

It can act in a blink of an eye ,

and let the defense scratching his head.

Of course, a game so worthless

if you have five players

on the court that do work.

Otherwise... is like talking to the wind.

Understand?

Hey! Good story, right?

Pistol Pete and Moose!

Dr. Pepper, two! Let me see, Myron.

Very Good, Pete, that's right.

I am teaching the Moose.

It will achieve a scholarship!

The Moose?

It is the Moose.

He is starting well.

The attention of the media is the key.

He is playing for the best state of the team.

And that team is this, Mr. Carl?

Myron, does not come with this.

You know very well.

Believe me I know it.

You and your silly ideas.

What?

He thinks the Lions should play with Cleveland.

He says it's the best State team.

A black team?

Is not hilarious?

Let's play.

It's just a dream, Pete.

That's it.

They are the best or not?

Of course they are!

Too young to know the defeat

Ajuventude also has weaknesses

We can not measure heart and soul

Just keep them under control

When we know our road

We will forward for that plan

A fine line divides

Facing the fear or flee

From dream to the destination

Double or nothing.

This is the fifth 'double or nothing'.

Wait until tomorrow, Pete.

In life only is there no inside or outside

There is a burning desire in us

That shines all night

Do not be discouraged

Keep in mind your dream

During the nightmares of his life

Do not be discouraged

There is no place for souvenirs

There are today or tomorrow

In difficult times

Choose continue

Some live only to see the day

Others live for their dreams

never feel the heat , as you

There is a distance in his hand

From dream to the destination

Now, there is nothing more

Do not be discouraged

There is no victory without a fight

He's eating you alive , Walker!

Walk, finish him!

Ok Combined..

Half an hour.

Are you kidding?

He can in an hour.

What's going on?

I saw your car out front.

We are making a bet with Maravich.

He has to turn the ball finger for an hour.

Start when the pointer the second hand is at 12.

Stay here, girls if they want

see something funny.

One for the money, two for the show .

Come on. Prepare, point, and fire!

Come on!

Look at this, folks.

Come on, Pete.

Come on, Pete, focus.

Come on, Pete!

Enough!

I can not!

Can not?

I can not stop.

Come on, Pete!

Come on! You can!

He's getting tired , Buddy,

is getting tired.

You can! Come on, Pete!

Hey, where you going?

Can you, Mr. Peter.

Where did you learn to drive?

Come on, Pete! You can!

15 seconds!

You did it!

Nine, eight, seven, six, five,

four, three, two, one!

Your tricks will end soon, Petey.

Okay! Hey, judge!

In your face!

They find that it's cool?

He told me you are a banana.

Said yes. I heard.

Said you was a banana.

!

Nice move!

Thank you!

You're crazy, judge!

Pete!

We are watching the same game?

# 5...

Expected, Press. It is cold.

Call a physician.

How do you feel?

I'll be fine.

Let me see.

It was a difficult game, right?

The doctor said you had a mild concussion.

This makes me remember when

played for Pittsburgh Ironmen.

They sewed me after every game.

They called us Iron Team.

Because you were tough?

No, they could only pay 5 players.

Looking into the eyes of my father I understood.

He did not need to say anything.

Could not face the guy who hurt me

but no way he would knock me

and keep out of the game.

Sitting there, I remembered the ten games

I stayed on the bench.

I tried to pretend it did not bother me,

bothered but yes.

This was the moment of truth for me .

A chance to make a choice and prove him wrong.

My body said "No"

but my heart cried out: "Give a show."

They are destroying us in the marking.

We will mark by zone.

But they are attacking out, Dad!

But they are getting underneath.

You can let I mark the center.

Walk, lock and cuts the bottom line.

Father, give me the ball.

Moves to me.

Pete, what is doing here?

You can not enter.

Mom, I could play this game blindfolded.

Let him play, Helen.

We can become more violent in marking, technical.

Walk, when I die you stay in my place.

But as this, be quiet.

Gave to understand? Yes, sir.

Look!

Pistol, Pistol, Pistol, Pistol

All right, son?

Yes, sir.

Walk, go to the bank.

Who will score the center for you?

Walk, how old are you?

Eighteen.

Either until the nineteen live?

Yes, sir.

So do what you're told !

Let's finish them. One, two, three...

Lions!

Pistol! That's it!

Pistol, Pistol, Pistol, Pistol

Exchange, exchange!

Pass, watch out!

One, two, three... Lions!

There's more chicken and pod if they want!

Thank you, Carl.

Need muscles for the final,

and green beans is good to give muscles.

Said the same thing about cauliflower.

Want to get high, do not you?

Yes, sir.

You never heard of

a tall guy called Pod?

Father!

Myron! Iced tea to the table 3.

I'm coming, Carl. Thank U.

Hello, you guys.

I felt the smell of chicken Myron a mile away.

And the taste is even better!

Good that appeared.

Pull up a chair.

Good that invited me.

Nobody does fried chicken as Myron.

Thank you, Mr. Vern.

I know Myron some 12 years /

when he cut my grass.

Yes, sir. It's true.

Since 1949, when I worked

for you in Division Street.

Doctor Pepper, on my own.

Thank you, Carl.

Myron, prepares another meat portion.

They are very kind to me.

Will not ask for a loan , are they?

You're busy after dinner?

Josephine has a date missionary in the church.

I'm free.

What's on your mind?

State championship. Not official.

What?

Tonight, we'll take you to the future.

I hope that explains it here.

Go figure in a minute or two.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen ,

are welcome to Cleveland High School.

What is this?

Press, care with the wallet.

Prepare for the Cleveland Kings

and its captain, Joe Pro!

You are feeling, Vern?

It's show time.

My parents are turning in the tomb, for sure.

Okay, okay. Very well, very well.

So? You did not say much.

Whatever I say:

this is the future of basketball?

You are who you say.

Now Press, please.

Okay, can at least admit

that Cleveland is good?

I can agree.

I think they can beat you.

What is the point, coach?

The point is that you have the opportunity

to stand out on this side of the country.

Basketball have to walk in this direction.

You also felt it there.

Are you crazy?

Are you afraid of?

Are you saying that black

are better than us?

I'm saying it's time to change.

If you use the points strong style,

and add their style - and you have everything.

Even the league you want so long.

Press, I thank what you're saying,

but I feel tell you, mate,

some things will never change.

Need to open the mind to new ideas .

Why does not the idea playing with them?

Otherwise it will be a false victory in the championship ,

because you have not faced the state's best.

Goodnight Press.

Good night, Pete. Good evening, technical.

Vern! Do something unexpected once in a lifetime.

Were the regional finals.

The newspaper said that the champion

Conquer the state title.

Come on! Attention there!

With the play set, I started thinking

If the technical Pendleton had understood

vision of my father on the future of basketball.

Maybe win the state championship

also was not enough for him.

But everyone knew that he hated the idea

losing to anyone...

and this included team Cleveland.

Okay, listen.

Sit relax. Listen.

It was great, was not it?

I have been thinking a lot about what it means

Be the best state of the team,

and... until a few days ago

I thought we were the better State team.

We are the best, technical.

True. You are right.

We are the best "team white" state.

Well, that's what matters.

What other team there?

Cleveland High.

Blacks?

What are trying to say, Dad?

Unless we beat the Cleveland ,

the state championship is a hollow victory in my opinion.

Monday at 7:30.

I can not force them to participate of an unofficial game

but if you have courage,

will be here prepared.

Get that idea out of his head.

Do not worry. I'll talk to him.

See you Treats!

There is the Pistol Pete.

Go Treats in Soda Shop today?

I do not know.

Oh, come on... What is the problem?

Never celebrates with team after the game.

We want you to come.

Come on, Pete.

All right, then.

Cool! The first dance is mine.

Then I realized.

It was socially maladjusted.

Put me on a basketball court

with hundreds of people and am very sociable,

but the track dance Treats

with Sandy, the Buddy girlfriend?

He was already mad at me

to attract the attention of everyone.

It got worse because my father convinced the technical Pendleton

playing against the black team.

But dance with his girlfriend...

was when I started to sweat.

Drew attention from me

And gave it to a boy eighth grade.

Now it's my turn to draw attention away from you.

Will be no game against blacks.

Do not raise your hand to his father, boy,

still want to know who runs this family?

Of course, only played against senior ,

but never had a Pete Maravich on the team.

A boy so only appears once in a lifetime.

You can not imagine how I wanted it you were that boy.

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

But be aware that there will be no game,

Because I will not let it happen !

What are you doing here?

I thought I was in Treats.

I will not.

Honey, I heard the girls.

They want you to go.

No big deal.

How so?

There are a lot of crazy girls

to dance with Pistol Pete.

What's the matter, dear?

Do not tell me...

you fled classes dance I paid?

It was a waste of time.

Had to practice with Dad.

True, Press?

What is truth?

Talk to you later.

Pete, let's take a quick course .

Relax. Feel the rhythm . See?

We can dance music

this century, at least?

If you can dance it, will dance anything.

When a slow song,

pull the girl close, as well.

Wonderful things can happen

when you are dancing.

My turn.

The first time I left with this beautiful woman,

the band of Glenn Miller was playing

And during the first song, I asked her to marry.

So, you want me to take you to Treats?

Will not disappoint all those girls , are you?

No

Sandy was right.

I've never been to parties after the game.

It would be shocked if he found

I started going when she called me.

I wondered if these boys

really wanted me to be.

They received me well when I arrived.

It was great.

Moose and the guys greeted me.

But where was Sandy?

I was afraid of being cheated on it.

Would you care to dance with

someone from another class?

But what Buddy?

Do not worry about it.

I like this music, come on.

She really liked me.

I could not believe.

Tonight would be perfect

More?

Known that the Pistol had 21 points and 10 passes.

From star to drunk in just one night.

Can fill, "Can Head".

Walk, the boy will be famous one day.

Moose, the runt needs a lesson.

What are you looking, four eyes?

Stay away from my girl , Petey.

Buddy, we're just dancing .

Grow up, Sandy.

Come near my girl , have to pay.

You drank.

Come here, you worm.

Thought you had done all the bullshit ,

but you and your father want to make people play

with a bunch of savages

a league that does not exist!

Will not have any game, Maravich.

I will not let happen.

Why not?

It is best to close the nozzle, Petey Boy

Okay, let's vote.

Who wants to play against blacks?

What is the matter with you?

They want Cleveland come to our school?

No way.

This is your answer, dizzy.

Your father will take the same thing.

You are a joke in this city.

His father and you belong to a

circus freaks show.

You think you're a great player .

But it's a comedy.

Scream "Pistol" to give laugh of his tricks.

That's it. I should break your face.

I'm leaving.

Let's personal, let's go.

Prejudice and Buddy selfishness

had gone too far.

Moose.

Knew that if I said anything ,

Buddy would make me understand the meaning of "Iron Time".

But I decided I needed to defend myself,

at any cost.

Hard head!

What was that?

You heard me. It is what it is.

Always thinking in yourself,

and instead of thinking about team or Sandy.

Is that what you think?

That's what I know.

If you are a big deal,

why we does not take the test?

If I win, we play against Cleveland.

What if I win?

I leave the team.

You think you're good?

I know I am.

Can be prepared, because this time

will be no tricks up his sleeve.

You and I, alone in the gym in 20 minutes.

It was the moment of truth.

Buddy made me look like a fool in front of Sandy

while broke his heart.

Buddy was wrong.

Dad and I were not a joke , and I prove this...

him, Sandy and myself.

Hey, Sprite, you can lead a

basketball in the hall?

For school Daniel High, is poor basketball.

Think of it during the weekend,

and play basketball how to,

will be able to put the uniform of the team...

if you can not, forget it.

If you're smart, will give up.

Today it.

Your tricks will end soon, Pete.

You are a joke.

Scream "Pistol" to give laugh of his tricks. That's all.

Should break your face.

Who starts?

You

But if you indulge in,

and use this gift that God gave him ,

will one day play in the first team .

That pain there in the soul of background

encouraged me to be something better!

I can train you up out of breath, but while it does not feel something

burning your soul, my words are worthless.

Think... a dream

is nothing more than a challenge

we put ourselves.

That's it.

See you Monday night.

No, do not.

We made a deal!

That's when you screwed up, Pete.

You believed in me.

So why did you come?

What do you think?

Not want to destroy the diner,

and I hate to ruin my image in public.

Especially when I break your face.

No, Buddy.

Hey, what are you doing here?

This has nothing to do with you .

Is between Maravich and me.

I.

"Metal Head" do not tell me

you will try to stop me!

It is I who will.

Made a deal, Buddy.

The Pistol won.

Are you serious?

We talked.

And we play with the black team.

Let's find out if we are really good...

with or without you.

Now Walk, this means nothing.

We can not play with those guys.

Monday. At 19:30.

If we discover what we really are.

Let.

I thought of some things sitting there a few minutes ago.

Thought?

See you make me wanna dream .

Dream to be an actress?

Dream at all.

Take care, Marilyn Monroe.

Pete, and the Cleveland beat us?

There are going to win.

But what if they win?

So we can say we tried.

Let's put on a show that they will not forget.

Pete, you are special even.

I felt a shiver the crown

to the tips of Ps.

Knew it was a friendly kiss ,

but I could not help but want

be a little older.

Well, at least Sandy and I could

share our dreams.

You know, Pete, when I was in college ,

was called 'Man Point Per Minute'.

Many felt that I could not

scoring 36 points per game, but they...

they were stuck in the past.

To my knowledge, no white team

've played with a team of blacks in this region

so perhaps just me and her mother

're in the stands.

Mom makes enough noise.

I will not disagree with you about it.

Your dreams with some basketball

times let you discouraged?

They leave.

Do you know why?

I think so.

So why do it?

If you can create a magical moment /

if you can show fans something they have never seen,

they will return often,

either win or lose.

's Up to you to take them to a place

they've never been before.

Give them a little hope.

I think you discouraged when

realize that half the people

who see never understand.

They call me sausage.

But they are always there, waiting

I give a show.

So give a show.

Sometimes, just want to stop, and be like everyone else.

This is a choice only you can make , Pete.

But if it were me...

Them give a show to remember forever.

But in any is, love you, Pete.

I will always love you.

We have to understand

the Cleveland plays different

at all times we face.

They run at full speed until the final whistle.

It has three guys with an average

22 points per game.

All dart. They all run.

Everyone plays.

Equally proud of their

48 consecutive victories.

Remember that without Buddy,

can not have many faults.

Carl.

Lord, You said all

is possible for you... Help us.

Thank you.

Okay, people, without mercy!

One, two, three...

LIONS!

Pete, I gave you some freedom ,

and we won some games.

We will not win them playing as them.

Let's make them the only way we know...

muscle and fundamentals of basketball, right?

Right.

At dawn...

Basic! Basic basketball!

Defense, people!

Do not worry about the outcome,

are going well.

Technical, they are killing us.

Keep Basic.

Caprichem defense.

Come on, ending up with them!

It's show time, Pete!

Make your move. Do it now!

Decrease. And works the ball.

Helen, I'll be right back.

In the middle of the game?

You can scream for me.

Bring popcorn!

You're looking at the future Buddy.

Amazing pitches, great base.

Pete and some of these boys are twenty years ahead.

You have talent, son.

Or you enter the boat or will be.

Walk... Forgot how make a light trap?

Pete marker is on him like a Siamese twin , he will not get your help?

What's wrong with you?

They act as if they could not earn them.

We can beat them.

I think I was wrong with this team.

I thought you had passion.

Can I say something?

I have to ask apologize to you.

I was a fool this year

and say, I'm sorry.

This team means everything to me,

although I like selfish /

well, I was selfish.

Father, just want to play.

Okay. Get dressed,

Come on, we will win!

No hard feelings?

No hard feelings.

Why would we win, we will have to work together .

Hey, Buddy.

What?

I still think you is a hard head.

I also.

Okay, where is the first team?

CD, Moose, Vick, Pete...

I know coach Walker out.

That's it. We earn them. Come on.

One, two, three, Lions!

Two, two!

Keep track!

Now I see! Pistol, Pistol!

Pete! Calm!

This boy! That's it!

Defense, folks!

Not so bad.

Well, if it works out.

Defense, defense, defense.

Defense, defense

Defense.

Time, time, time.

Okay, everyone here!

We have time to a pitch.

Pete, you made me believe.

We will see a bit of its magic.

One, Two, Three Lions!

Come on, boys!

We won!

Daniel Lions! We won!

No point, was not the point!

As well, was not the point?

The weather still was running.

The last time I was stolen,

they wore a mask!

We won them and you know it.

Still have the best team.

For the locker room!

Pistol, Pistol, Pistol...

Words can not express how I felt .

It was now heir of a Dream /

a dream that came true .

Dad was right.

The fans wanted to live a magical moment...

One moment could fly high,

they could believe that anything was possible.

Win or winning, they would come

game after game to see a boy of loose socks

known as Pistol.

Press Maravich gave his son a great gift of love:

A life dedicated to see the dreams your child come true.

These dreams have given life to made of Pistol Pete Maravich,

the more professional basketball young to join the HAII of Fame.

For over 20 years, your brand stood the test of time.

Pistol Pete remains the of all time scorer in college basketball,

With an average of 44.2 points per game.

"The Pistol" is dedicated to the memory of

"Pistol" Pete Maravich

As a legacy to their children and children around the world...

That love never fails, the character does not give up ,

and with patience and persistence, dreams become reality.

Close my eyes

I see when you were there

I can hear his words

Now I who calls

Through the windows of my heart

Do you hear me? Do you hear me?

Memories survive,

The dream will not die

Love will never go away

Under the rain I'll be

Chasing the shadows until dawn

I'm still calling your name when I sleep

In the rain I'll be

Chasing the shadows in the dark

Tell me why cry myself to sleep

Or stand there, awake

Under the rain

In all our moments together

I never knew what I felt

Looking back still remember

Although you party

All I have to do is call your name

Keep me, umbrella is me night

Memories survive

The dream will not die

Love will never go away

Under the rain I'll be

Chasing the shadows until dawn

I'm still calling your name when I sleep

Under the rain I'll be

Chasing the shadows in the dark

Tell me why cry myself to sleep

or stand there, awake

Under the rain

Under the rain I'll be

Chasing the shadows until dawn

I'm still calling your name when I sleep

When sleep

Under the rain I'll be

Chasing shadows until dawn

Tell me why cry myself to sleep

or stand there, awake

Under the rain
