Pete played at a time when you were required to keep your entire hand on top of the basketball when dribbling. I can't imagine what he could have done if he played under the relaxed rules of today that allow a player to carry the ball for a step.

Excellent point. That being said I think the level of competition in the late 60's/early 70's was a lot lower than that of today's game.
