Product Description:
The Pistol is the uplifting story of a scrawny eight grade boy whose stunning basketball skills earn him a spot on the high school team. Unfortunately for young Pete Maravich (Adam Guier), his style of 'showtime' basketball is way ahead of its time, making him the target of ridicule and socially separates him from his teammates.

The legend of college basketball's greatest scorer begins in the heart of a thirteen year old dreamer who soon becomes known to the work as THE PISTOL.
