Movie Description
A soul-stirring tale of racial equality and ambition, this movie mirrors the real-life story of “Pistol” Pete Maravich. Pistol’s no-look passes and fancy footwork on the court made him known throughout the country in the 1950’s, but it was his victory over racist injustice that made him memorable forever.

S.I.M. Rating: 8.54 out of 10


User Reviews [Review this film]

"Fair. I really wish this film would have covered more of Pete Maravich's life. It really is only about Maravich's 8th grade year so the scope of this film as a biopic is minimal...which was the whole point of making the film. It was a lower budget film so the acting was mediocre, but the story was intriguing. I gave it a fair rating. " --Jason of SportsInMovies.com

"This film is a true story for all people that won't to be real players, this is a inspiring movie like the movies with Michel Jordan." --Stefan
