My First Post: Maravich Celtics #44

The idea of this blog is to add my two cents to the world of Pistol Pete Maravich. I have read every book about him and continue to find new and useful info for future scholars.

This is my first attempt at blogging and I am looking forward to your eedback.

Here's a a rare photo of Pete (as a Celtic) taken April 9, 1980. This is from the playoffs (Game 1) against the Houston Rockets. Pete had 10 points in a 119-101 victory.

Even though he had blown out his knee three years earlier - he could obviously still get nice lift on his jumper (note NBA Rookie-of the-Year Larry Bird in the foreground)

This was Pete Maravich's first visit to the playoffs since 1973.
