Wtf Atlanta why the fuck did it take so long to retire his shit. Kinda shitty…
Why did rip Hamilton get his jersey retired before Pistol Pete???
Wait? The Hawks didn't retire Pistol Petes' # til now? Wtf. Kings retired Peja's jersey a few years back and Peja did not have an impact on that team the way Pete did with the Hawks smh
Who ever disliked this is a sad person
That green Hawks jersey is so bad ass…
Are you serious, it's been how many years since the man passed and now they want to retire his jersey, what a shitty team.
Pistol Pete the GOAT
About 30 years overdue, but it's better late than never.

Pistol Pete Maravich has changed my life. From his countless highlights I have admired and his testimony in 1987. Everything about Pete makes me more eager to reach heaven to meet him in the Kingdom of God. RIP Pete and God Bless
Pistol Pete changed the NBA from the old era (Bill Russel, Jerry West etc) to the modern NBA. We owe him 99% of the highlights of today
Should have been in done this
Rip
What a bunch of lam ass fans… Get the fuck up and scream !!!
I was a NY Knicks fan when I was 7, 8, 9 years old and then something happened Pete Maravich and the Atlanta Hawks….ended up an Atlanta Hawks fan for Life…..I cannot believe his jersey wasnt retired many, many, years ago. Then #22 John Drew came along so I stayed with the Hawks for Life. Both of these guys had issue's especially Drew, but they were both childhood hero's of mine. Scott at http://www.bigjreport.com
Tell me why there acting like they respected and liked Maravich when he was playing with the Atlanta Hawks even though his teammates didn't like him saying he was a showboat and a ball hog and then got traded to the Jazz that's why they took so long to retire his jersey so people forgot what they really thought of him LOL
Why is the Atlanta Hawks organization really retiring pistol Pete's number he was a good player but not a good teammate.
Pete Maravich and Dominique Wilkins are the greatest Atlanta Hawks player from the 70s 80s and early 90s era 1970 through 1993 forever basketball
INSTINCTIVE. INTUITIVE. IMPROVISATION. SENSATIONAL. SPELL-BINDING. INCREDIBLE. THIS WAS WAY OVERDUE. HIS SOUL-SEARCHING WAS PROBABLY DUE TO BEING SO MISUNDERSTOOD & UNDER-APPRECIATED WITHIN THE GAME. #44 SHOULD BE RETIRED FROM THE ENTIRE NBA. APOLOGIES TO NEEK AND OTHERS, BUT HE WAS THE GREATEST PLAYER OF THE HAWKS AND EVERY TEAM WAS BLESSED TO HAVE SIGNED HIM. PEACE. (MIC-DROP)
Pete is my favorite plater and , JIM WASHINGTON was the 1st player I liked in the NBA while playing for my hometown CHICAGO BULLS
His college points record will never ever ever be broken
