Old school hoops heads, help me track down Bob Pettit stock?

[CavaliersFTW]

I'm pretty sure I've got 90% of what exists out there of Bob Pettit already but I could be completely wrong, if you guys know of some clips buried in some old documentaries, or some must-see sources that have a treasure trove of Pettit footage that you want to be sure I haven't missed post them here, I'm gathering for a Bob Pettit mix.

Youtube of course. Other than that it's going to be really hard to find anything new. I have an old VHS tape from the 80's. It has clips of greats like Pettit, Cousy, Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Oscar, Dr. J, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Rick Barry, and Walt Frazier. But those clips are clips that are common. It had good music too.

I'm surprised you didn't already own it - I think you'll love it, although no doubt you've got a lot of the footage already. I must have watched all three DVDs about 10 times each.

If you want any quotes about Bob Pettit (written, not audio, unfortunately), let me know. I have a bank of good ones.

I'd like to see them just for the sake of seeing them if you can get around to posting them! :cheers:

BTW, anybody want to see a preview/update of the Pettit project progress or should I just wait until it's totally finished to show anything more?

I'd love to see it, I've seen very little of him (still haven't read his bio either, I'm slacking...).

Okay - not all clips have been color/brightness/aspect-ratio corrected and it's only a fragment of the project. I always upload (unlisted of course) stretches of clips and pieces to get a feel for the flow while I'm working on the project. This is the latest iteration of the middle section of the video:

Tremendous, thanks!

I love that 8-10 points a night from putbacks quote. Some other notes:

Tremendous, thanks!

:bowdown:

I love that 8-10 points a night from putbacks quote. Some other notes:

• very smart after the rebound, kept the ball high and not once put it on the ground; was very quick to pass it to the lead man to start the break

• looks extremely proficient at putting english on the ball

• great from further out than one would think, it looks like he had great range (when you have a chance, maybe you should make 2 lists: (1) guys you've seen who're great in deep two range, (2) guys with true three point–or further out- range)

Incredible that you were able to find this much footage, and this is only a fragment? Great stuff. Thanks again.
Yeah there's a couple more minutes of footage I'm still organizing such as a section on passing, his NBA Finals run and 50pt finals performance, and his dominant ASG performances, I'm also playing around with the idea of putting in 2 interviews to curtail the footage that cover some keypoints about his career/abilities that the limited footage cannot.

He's like a winning version of Kevin Love. I think he's the 2nd greatest PF of all time after Tim Duncan.
