re: I thought y’all might enjoy this- Pistol Pete

As a basketball player, his talent defined him as a player. He was an incredible athlete who worked hard at his trade, self professed 8 hrs a day in the summer as a teenager. But it's his maturation as a man that's really impressive, too. Late in his professional career he was a hard core alcoholic. I once saw him down a fifth of Jack Daniels post game, sitting by himself at the bar where his older brother Ronnie was the manager. Yet, he turned his life around, found God, and became a great father & husband.
