“The saga of Pete Maravich is as absorbing as the legend of James Dean, of Steve Prefontaine, of John Lennon, of every generation’s icon who died young.The fruits of Press Maravich’s love for his son, and of Pete’s intense desire to please his father, could be seen in the grainy films from the Pistol’s college days. His story is timeless.”
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“Buy, rent, or borrow a VCR. Program it for today’s showing of Pistol Pete: The Life and Times of Pete Maravich. The 90-minute special on CBS is that good. The action sequences are good enough that you’ll want to pull it out again and use the freeze frame to make sure that you actually saw what you thought you saw.”
Raleigh News and Observer
“The editing and story-telling throughout ‘Pistol Pete’ is so superb that one is able to pay attention to yards and yards of footage of Maravich doing remarkable, incredible things with a basketball while never losing sight of the human price tag attached to his achievements. The blend of marvel and sorrow is inescapable.”

Famous quotes containing the word reviews:
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
“When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank.”
—Wladziu Valentino Liberace (1919–1987)
“The skilful Nymph reviews her force with care:
Let Spades be trumps! she said, and trumps they were.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
