The highlight being a 69 point outing in 1970


Alabama won this game, and both teams broke 100.

WITHOUTa three point line!




69 points in one game without a shot clock and 3 point line. Amazing

He pretty much put up great numbers against everybody. What most people don't know is that there was a reason Pete was a one-man team. Without him, they would have won 3 or 4 games per year tops.

Great talent. Too bad his teams didn't win squat though. The Allen Iverson of his time.

Wasn't that game in Memorial Coliseum? I think it's still the record for that venue.

Hell of a player. My dad and granddaddy say he was the best of all time. It's a shame he died so young.

Read about Pete's last game at Georgia, what he did there is something else.

The Georgia coach was so mad that the Georgia fans carried Pete off the court that game, he burned the best game film ever of Pete playing.

During his freshmen year, everyone went to the freshmen games and left once the varsity took the court.

That movie depicting Pistol Pete (Pistol?) was one of those I watched ad infinitum as a young'un. Pistol Pete is an all-time legend who was sadly taken too early.

Coach Dale brown charted Pete's shots and calcualated that if the 3 point line existed PEte would have averaged 57 points per game

13 3 point shots per game
