We talkin’ Pistol Pete

[bronko]

They had no idea what they were doing but they really gave a lot to the modern game. The three point line, dunking, contracts leaking to reporters because the commissioner left his briefcase unlocked around them...

I just liked the red white and blue basketball.

They should bring it back. I had one growing up and every shot looked so perfect til it clanged off the top of the backboard

How can the “math” show anything when the rules allow Harden to get 3 points for the exact same shot that Pete got two points for? Or when Harden gets gifted free throws and people aren’t allowed to defend him for what would have been offensive fouls or travels or no-calls back when Pete was playing?

exactly.

comparing across eras is always problematic, but in this case, especially so.

So I’m finding @PIP ’s trolling more annoying then I used to. Then I see the Maravich thread and click and am really enjoying it. So here, I’m thinking PIP’s done a good thing, good posting again. Cool.

But then I see that the part of thread I’m thinking is new is actually from 2022. It’s not new. PIP hasn’t turned a new leaf over or something. Thing is, as the posts I was reading weren’t marked “new” it means I’d actually read them before and somehow forgot.

Kind of feels like PIP set me up for this massive long con troll for moths somehow knowing how I’d play into it.

Respect.
