The late "Pistol" Pete Maravich made basketball history as the most spectacular college scorer ever, and he's still inspiring kids through this movie based on his first season of high school varsity basketball when he was in the eighth grade at Daniel High School, but has some very difficult obstacles standing in his way of playing.
